Bonedigger happens to be a ferocious carnivore, a 500-pound lion and the undisputed King of the Jungle.

Milo, on the other hand, is an 11-pound dachshund who could hardly strike fear in the heart of any living creature.

But the two — both five years old — were introduced to each other when they were very young, and they’ve been all but inseparable ever since.

As a young cub Bonedigger had a rare bone disease, rendering him mildly disabled, and it may have contributed to Bonedigger’s reliance on Milo.

In their enclosure at the Garold Wayne Zoo in Oklahoma, visitors watch in amazement as Milo uses a friendly tongue to clean Bonedigger’s giant lion teeth.

In particular, the FBI is reviewing the conduct of members of the LAPD’s SWAT and Special Investigations units.

Federal authorities opened the investigation after LAPD officials themselves alerted them to the possible violations.

Suspicions in connection with the gun sales first arose back in 2010, when a lieutenant in the LAPD’s Metro division tried to inventory the division’s weapons.

After he determined that a large number of weapons had possibly been resold, Lt. Armando Perez and the LAPD’s inspector general Alex Bustamante filed a whistle-blower lawsuit.

Though a subsequent LAPD investigation into the activity found no wrongdoing on the part of the officers involved, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck has publicly acknowledged that the investigation was “clearly lacking,” leading to the new independent FBI probe.

Milken Community High School senior Jake Davidson set his sights high for his high school prom, by releasing a YouTube video asking supermodel Kate Upton to be his date for the prom.

But when it turned out that Kate was working on a movie and unavailable, another stunning supermodel stepped in, answering Jake’s hunt for a date.

Danish supermodel Nina Agdal — best known for her bikini-clad beachside feast on a fish sandwich for a Carl’s Jr. TV commercial — said ‘yes’ to Jake and made his prom night supermodel-perfect.

Agdal, 21, was Sports Illustrated’s 2012 Rookie of the Year in their popular swimsuit edition.  So even though Kate Upton was a no-go, Davidson managed to have a prom night to remember, with Agdal on his arm.

The consumer group reports their findings that less expensive store-brand sunscreens often do a better job than their costly designer-salon counterparts of protecting you from harmful rays.

Among a dozen popular sunscreens, three of the four top-scoring brands were from large national store chains, and were judged to be more effective in blocking UV rays.

Target stores’ Up and Up Sports SPF 50 took the top spot with the highest overall score.

Walmart’s Equate Ultra Protection Sunscreen came in second, and Walgreen’s Continuous Spray Sports took the number four spot. All three cost under $10.

It is an attempt to return to normalcy and happier activities after the bruising twister — a category EF-5 storm, the strongest measurable.  The tornado killed 24 people and injured scores more, and damaged or destroyed an estimated 12,000 homes.

The clean-up process is well underway, as residents and volunteers have begun hauling away the rubble and laying plans for rebuilding.

President Obama has promised swift and focused help for the tornado victims from the federal government.

And Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin has established the ‘OK Strong Disaster Relief Fund,’ to assist with the long-term medical, emotional, and educational needs of the tornado victims in the towns of Moore and Shawnee.

On Thursday morning (May 23), doctors at UCLA used Twitter to document the implant of a brain pacemaker for a patient.  The procedure was intended to combat the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease.

Mid-way through the brain surgery, the patient was awakened and asked to perform a series of cognitive test to gauge his brain function, coordination, and mobility.

Beyond responding to simple cues from doctors to raise his arm and other motor skill functions, the patient showed that he was even able to play his guitar.
