Matthew Danco started building a mammal enclosure last October and on Thursday, he revealed the final project.

Timmy Hargate, 21, who has nonverbal autism, joined Boy Scout Troop 461 in Highland Heights, Ohio, when he was 11. He was determined to become an Eagle Scout, and after about nine years of hard work, he finally achieved that goal in December. "It was extremely difficult [for him to become an Eagle Scout] because he couldn't do it in a typical way most kids can." Although most scouts must complete Eagle requirements before 18, Boy Scouts allows exceptions for advancement for those with special needs. "I think becoming an Eagle Scout would be hard for anybody, and to see what he has done is just amazing," Mason said.
