Meteorologist Kurtis Gertz, of station KCCI-TV in Iowa, thought he’d give viewers a thrill by handling a giant female Burmese python named Dawn at the Iowa State Fair. It turned into rather more of a thrill than he’d bargained for! Peter

Oh, deer . . .
I enjoyed a story in the Daily Mail about a baby deer that ‘s been adopted by a pack of foxhounds. The pack immediately accepted the lost fallow deer when they found him shivering by the Thompsons’ front gate just an hour after he had been born. Rather than being overwhelmed by the attention of… Continue reading Oh, deer . . .
More fun with Lolcats
There’s been an unusually good crop of Lolcats over at I Can Has Cheezburger? lately. Click on each picture to go to the post over there. I wish I knew who’d invented Lolcats (and all the offshoots thereof). I owe him or her a heartfelt vote of thanks! These can really brighten up my day.… Continue reading More fun with Lolcats
Two animal stories that made me blink
I read two animal stories this evening – both from England – that made me do a double-take. The first is about a ball-chasing eagle. White-tailed eagles became extinct in Britain in the early 1900s, although after a re-introduction scheme there are now a few in Scotland. Evie, however, was bred in captivity in Belgium… Continue reading Two animal stories that made me blink

All together, now: Awwwww, cute!
There’s a touching story of a Golden Retriever mom that’s adopted three white tiger kittens. A dog at a southeast Kansas zoo has adopted three tiger cubs abandoned by their mother. Safari Zoological Park owner Tom Harvey said the tiger cubs were born Sunday, but the mother had problems with them. A day later, the… Continue reading All together, now: Awwwww, cute!

I wonder if this qualifies for Workers Compensation?
It’s reported from Kamchatka, Russia, that hungry bears are turning to a new source of protein. Bad weather is thwarting efforts to rescue a group of mine workers trapped by hungry bears in Russia’s wild far eastern region of Kamchatka. The bears have already eaten two of the workers. The bears – apparently starving –… Continue reading I wonder if this qualifies for Workers Compensation?
A Peruvian Lady Godiva – NOT!
One has to laugh at the fuss in Peru over a nude model who used the national flag as a saddle. A naked model photographed using Peru’s flag as a saddle while mounted on a horse will face charges that could put her in jail for up to four years for offending patriotic symbols, the… Continue reading A Peruvian Lady Godiva – NOT!
If music be the food of sleep . . .
I’m amazed (and amused) by this clip of a man singing puppies to sleep. Great stuff! Now, if he can do the same for fractious babies, mothers all over the country will make him rich! Peter
