BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 07: Former Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and last leader of the Soviet Union (C), places his hands in wet cement attached to a section of the former Berlin Wall as he speaks to Berliners at the former Checkpoint Charlie border crossing amidst days of celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 7, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. Gorbachev, who was given the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1990 for the role of his 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' policies in ending the Cold War, has said that he will use the occasion of the visit to Germany to defend the policies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as he sees the ongoing Ukraine crisis pitting Russia against the West as an 'excuse' for the United States to criticize Russia.

***EXCLUSIVE*** GANSBAAI, SOUTH AFRICA - SEPTEMBER 30: A great white shark swims around a diving cage on September 30, 2014 in Gansbaai, South Africa. A ferocious great white shark collides with a diving cage filled with adrenaline seeking tourists.The footage was shot by Canadian Jeremy Stewart who was holidaying in South Africa and decided to take the plunge in the dangerous waters of Gansbaai, ominously nicknamed Shark Alley.

A 57-year-old western lowland gorilla prepares to eat some ice cake she received for her birthday Thursday morning Nov. 6, 2014 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The ice cake was colored with a sugar-free, orange-flavored drink mix, and Vila, and all the gorillas in the troop, took turns scraping cake onto their fingers or just licking the cake during the morning celebration. The gorilla habitat was filled with gift boxes and gourds painted by volunteers. Animal care staff made dozens of ice cupcakes with pureed sweet potato and raisins and filled the habitat with the animals favorite treats like leafy greens, vegetables, air-popped popcorn and Chex Mix. Vila is one of the oldest gorillas in the world and the matriarch of the 8-gorilla troop at the Safari Park. She has served as a surrogate mother of several hand-raised gorillas during her life. It is estimated that Vila was born in late October of 1957 in the Congo. After arriving in the United States, Vila was hand-raised at the San Diego Zoo and then moved to the Safari Park, and she has lived there since 1975. There are three other western lowland gorillas who are close in age to Vila. The three other oldest-known gorillas live at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio (born Dec. 1958), the Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas (born June 1958) and the Berlin Zoo in Germany (born May 1959).
