Van offers mobile paternity tests - Who's Your Daddy?

'Who's your daddy' van
Fathers in New York wanting peace of mind that their child is really theirs can now make use of an RV truck which doles out paternity tests.

The Who's Your Daddy? van sells its on-site tests for between $299 and $575 (£200-£300). 
All men have to do is have a swab test taken and wait a couple of days for the results to come back from the laboratory. 

The results can be delivered in the mail or in person.  Speaking to CBS news, the owner and operator of the vehicle, Jared Rosenthal, said that the service is proving popular. 

'They flag us down, they pull us over, they talk to us,' he added.

'Sometimes, because of the nature of the services, they want to be a little more discreet about it, but they do come or they'll call the number.' And of course if people don't get the results they want, there can be some drama.

'We have people that want to get the specimen from their spouse without them knowing about it. We deal with a lot of drama. It's constant drama,' he added. However, Mr Rosenthal said that there are also some really happy moments such as reuniting a man with his long lost daughter.

Mr Rosenthal added that there is a 'big need' for services such as his. - Metro UK

Gorilla brothers' emotional embrace captured after three years apart

Kesho and Alf
Handshakes, hugs and laughter were on display when two long-lost gorilla brothers were reunited after spending nearly three years apart.

The pair of primates surprised staff at Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire, with an affectionate display of brotherly love - having been apart since 2010. Kesho and his younger brother Alf were separated after the elder sibling was sent to London Zoo as part of a breeding programme.

The heart-warming moment as the misty-eyed pair embraced after being reunited, also appearing to share a joke, was captured on camera. Despite Kesho appearing almost unrecognisable, with his weight ballooning by 200lbs, head gorilla keeper Mark Tye said Alf had no problem recognising his sibling.

'We weren't entirely sure that the brothers would even know each other, but the moment they met you could just see the recognition in their eyes,' he said. 'They were touching each other through the cage that temporarily separated them and there were no acts of aggression. 

'We put them together 24 hours later and it was like they had never been apart. 'They were very animated and there was a lot of rough and tumble on the floor, but not in an aggressive way.

'It is quite unusual to see that sort of childlike behaviour in a silverback.' Kesho was recently moved to the new £3m enclosure after his attempts to father a baby gorilla were unsuccessful due to him being infertile.

'They have formed a really tight bond and Kesho is actually incredibly tolerant,' added Mr Tye. 'Had they been two strangers there would have been a lot of face-to-face confrontation and some fighting and screaming.

'But Kesho and Alf were happy to turn their backs on one another which is a sign of trust.

'It is great for Alf to have an older brother to look up to and learn from and Kesho seems to enjoy being the centre of attention.

'It was very satisfying to see.'

The pair now look set to spend the rest of their days in the bachelor pad enclosure, set up due to the large amount of males in the current European breeding programme. - Metro UK
