1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:10,919 The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mac with five good news stories. A bear 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,519 in Boulder, Colorado took some selfies four hundred times. Boulders Open Space and 3 00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:23,760 Mountain Parks Department operates nine motion activated wildlife cameras across it's forty six thousand acres 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,079 of land. An inquisitive bear triggered one of the cameras, and of five 5 00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:33,679 hundred and eighty photos captured, four hundred were bear selfies. A spokesperson said, 6 00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,600 we're fortunate to live in an area with rich diversity wildlife, and these 7 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,640 cameras help us learn what animals are really out there and what they're up to 8 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,399 over the course of a day, week, or even years. And obviously 9 00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:46,799 they're on Instagram. A good news for Ronald the dog. Ronald had been 10 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,880 returned to the shelter fourteen times, but he has found his forever home. 11 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,359 Ronald's a sixty four pound mixed breed poppy, but apparently people kept adopting them 12 00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,479 and then brought them back for one reason or another. Kirsten Davis is a 13 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,599 nurse from Raeford, North Carolina. She was put on a wait list for 14 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:08,040 Ronald, popular dog returned fourteen times and there's still a wait list. After 15 00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:11,120 a five day trial adoption, Davis knew Ronald was meant to be part of 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,200 her family. She officially adopted him in January. That's awesome. A group 17 00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:21,280 of students has built a robotic hand for their fifteen year old classmate, who 18 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,799 said the device changed his life. This is in Tennessee. Classmates of Sergio 19 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,079 built him a robotic hand. A teacher who had learned that Sergio's hand was 20 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,000 not fully formed told him his students could help. Sergio said when he first 21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,480 got to the high school, he felt like hiding his arm in a sleeve. 22 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,000 However, Jeff Wilkins, a teacher at the school, found out about 23 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,599 Sergio's hand and assigned his students the task of building him a robotic one. 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,920 The three students who took up the challenge spent a month designing the prosthetic using 25 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,000 online software and three D printing techniques. One of the students told the local 26 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,400 CBS affiliate, you're supposed to be engineering, coming up with new ideas, 27 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,519 solving issues, and just making things better than how they used to be. 28 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,200 To test it out, Sergio caught a ball this right hand for the first 29 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,040 time, and everybody freaked out. He said, they changed my life. 30 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,439 You know good news if you were a butterfly in Oregon. The Fenders Blue 31 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:13,120 butterfly has made such a good recovery that its status has been changed from endangered 32 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,000 to just threatened. The butterfly is only found in Williamette Valley in Oregon. 33 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:20,680 It was believed to be extinct until it was rediscovered in nineteen eighty nine. 34 00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,919 In twenty sixteen, there were an estimated twenty nine thousand Fenders Blues, up 35 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:32,800 from just four thousand at the turn of the century.
