Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 1, 2019 An Indiana woman found with an 8-foot-long python wrapped around her neck had apparently kept snakes at the residence, which was filled with snakes and outfitted for a collection of the reptiles, police said Thursday. Laura Hurst, 36, was found unresponsive Wednesday night on the floor of a home in the northern Indiana town of Oxford, with the snake wrapped loosely around her neck. The person who found the woman from the town of Battle Ground removed the reticulated python from her neck, but medics were unable to revive her. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday. The home contained about 140 snakes, about 20 of which were owned by Hurst, who apparently kept them there and visited the Oxford home about twice weekly.

time 8,581 Posted February 28, 2020 Syas, a Bengal tiger, reputedly the last tiger working in a UK circus was euthanised yesterday at Wolds wildlife park in Horncastle, Lincs. Made the papers three years ago when he was spotted in a cramped cage near the M6, as part of Chipperfiled's lions & tigers tour, prompting Sir Roger Moore to call for a ban on circuses using animals. Also made the BBC a year later (see picture). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 28, 2020 Ferrisburgh (Vermont) residents are remembering a local celebrity: Oliver the camel. Driving along Route 7, you probably wouldn't expect to see a camel by the roadside, but Ollie greeted travelers along the road for the better part of 20 years. He was a Bactrian camel with two humps.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 9, 2020 A blind wild horse that had roamed North Carolina's Outer Banks has died at 40. The Virginian-Pilot reports that Amadeo passed away on Friday. The horse was once considered a king of the undeveloped beaches north of Corolla. Before he lost his sight, the stallion fought for his harem of mares. He already was blind in one eye when a stallion damaged his other eye. Amadeo retired to a farm in Grandy for aging wild horses and became a visitor favorite. In recent weeks, Amadeo became increasingly stiff and unable to move freely. The Corolla Wild Horse Fund said the 40-year-old horse couldn't get up after a fall and died quickly and peacefully.

I knew it would end so. It was either Alzheimers or early onset dementia. How I long for the days when men were men and the only virus you got was after a nice evening with a woman. But it all has to end. It reminds of the story from Africa about the three lions that were eaten by poachers...….. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,084 Posted March 25, 2020 (from the BBC) Rwandan who breached lockdown ‘killed by crocodile’ A man in Rwanda who breached the ongoing lockdown to reportedly go fishing has been killed and eaten by a crocodile, the mayor of the southern Kamonyi district has told the BBC. Alice Kayitesi said the Wednesday morning incident happened in the Nyabarongo river. "He had broken the stay-home rule, he’s among very few people here who are not co-operating with the lockdown to stop the [corona]virus," Ms Kayitesi said. The authorities in Rwanda imposed a total lockdown on Sunday as cases of Covid-19 continued to rise. The East African nation has confirmed 40 cases so far, the highest in the region. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
