Three critically endangered Burmese star tortoises are pictured May 22, 2008 at the San Diego Zoo, the first time this species has successfully reproduced at the facility. The Burmese star tortoise is not often bred in zoos, but with more as-yet-unhatched eggs, animal care staff is hoping that more of the tortoises emerge. The reptile is almost extinct in its native Myanmar as its numbers dwindle due to deforestation and hunting, both for food and profit. The three tortoises hatched on different days last week.

RAMOT HASHEVIM, ISRAEL - MARCH 14: Freshly-laid eggs are collected for delivery to the local packing plant at the Aronheim family's egg farm on March 14, 2008 in the farming community of Ramot Hashevim, central Israel. World food prices are soaring in the face of what some analysts are describing as a perfect storm of circumstances; increasing demand from developing economies in Asia, rising fuel prices, severe weather impacting recent harvests and an economic shift to biofuel production. All this leaves the consumer paying more for basic staples such as bread and milk and is likely to have its hardest impact on poorer nations. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)
