According to the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States, "Saudi Arabia will do anything to keep its nation safe." This news comes in, in spite of recent events in which the ambassador was in danger. The threat facing the ambassador was to be carried out by a few people who were trying to assassinate him. The Saudi Arabian government stated that they could possibly need nuclear weapons to fight off the Iranians who also have nuclear weapons. The Saudi Arabian army is currently fighting in Yemen, targeting the Shi'ite Houthis who are taking over the country and trying to establish a new form of government.

Baby Woolly Rhino
Back in September of 2014 a few hunters in Siberia found the young specimen in some partially frozen soil. The two then held on to the rhino until they delivered it to the Sakha Republic Academy of Sciences. The scientists there were baffled by the discovery because "Sasha" as they call the animal, is one of only a few that have ever been discovered. Sasha is the only calf woolly rhino that is known to be found. The article states that much of the carcass was left intact even though a few carnivorous animals had torn away the backside of this amazing discovery. Research is now being done to determine whether or not the scientists can extract DNA evidence that links the woolly rhino to the extinct woolly mammoth.
