The zoo in Novosibirsk, Russia's third-largest city, is home to a unique animal — the liliger. That's a big cat breed where the father is a lion and the mother is a lion-tiger hybrid, called a liger. The first liliger was born in the zoo last year and now there's a second litter of three, all of them females. They were born in May and now have grown up enough to start exploring their surroundings, showing an endearing clumsy energy. Their mother, Zita, was born in the zoo in 2004. Their father, Sam, is an African lion. Here's a gallery of images from the Novosibirsk zoo.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are closing sharply lower and bond yields are rising after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank could slow its massive bond purchases this year. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 206 points, or 1.4 percent, to 15,112. It was the Dow's seventh straight move of 100 points or more. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 22, or 1.4 percent, to 1,628. High-dividend stocks like telecommunications and utilities stocks fell the most. The Nasdaq fell 39 points, or 1.1 percent, to 3,443. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 2.34 percent, the highest since March 2012. The yield started the day at 2.21 percent. Five stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was average at 3.4 billion shares.
