  SAN DIEGO, CA - AUGUST 19: In this handout image from the Zooilogical Society of San Diego, A giant panda cub Mei Sheng celebrates his second birthday by diving right into his birthday cake on August 19, 2005 in San Diego, California The iced cake was designed by zoo staff specifically with the juvenile panda in mind, with his favorite treats like apples, carrots and bamboo. After reducing his cake to pieces he used the larger chunks to stand on, roll over or simply lick. The San Diego Zoo now has the largest population of the critically endangered giant pandas outside of mainland China. The Zoo has four pandas, including Mei Sheng, his father Gao Gao, his mother Bai Yun, and his 2-week-old sibling. It is estimated there are only about 1,600 giant pandas in the world.

  PORTLAND, ME - JULY 21: A fishing boat leaves the dock on July 21, 2012 in Portland, Maine. A mild winter and warmer than usual spring caused lobsters to shed their shells six weeks earlier than usual which resulted in an overabundance of lobsters in the Northeastern United States that has driven down prices to record lows. Lobstermen hope to make at least $4.00 a pound to turn a profit but prices this year have been as low as $1.25 a pound. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
