Christmas lights removed from inside dog

Sharon Fay, 45, of Southampton, England, said she became concerned when she spotted bits of wire sticking out of her mixed breed canine Charlie`s droppings. "I hadn`t even noticed that the lights had been chewed at this stage but it quickly became clear what had happened," Fay said. "Back in March he ate one of my scarves and needed an operation to remove it, but I thought it was just a one time incident as he hadn`t shown any signs that he was going to be a repeat offender. Veterinarians took an X-ray of Charlie`s stomach and discovered a foot-long string of Christmas lights and a shoelace. More

Prehistoric tiny bugs found trapped in amber

 Scientists have found three well preserved ancient insects frozen in amber — and time — in what is Earth's oldest bug trap.

The discoveries of amber-encased insects in Italy may sound like something out of "Jurassic Park" but these bugs are even older than that. They are about 230 million years old, which puts them in the Triassic time period, and about 100 million years older than what had been the previously known oldest critters trapped in fossilized tree resin, or amber.

Gooey tree resin is like sap but without water and can't be diluted.

Researchers painstakingly examined 70,000 droplets of amber found in northeastern Italy. Stuck in them were two microscopic mites and much of one fly. The mites are too small to be seen with the naked eye and the fly is a tad tinier than a fruit fly, researchers say. More

Hippo stuck in swimming pool at South Africa lodge

A hefty hippo chased away from his herd at a South African game reserve has found a refreshing place to relax: the lodge’s swimming pool. Now it’s stuck there.
The young hippopotamus plopped into the pool at the Monate Conservation Lodge north of Johannesburg.
The pool is big enough for the hippo to swim but it’s eight feet deep with no steps and “there’s no way he can come out,” lodge manager Ruby Ferreira told The Associated Press.
A game capture team will sedate the hippo and lift it out of the pool with a crane, said MuIsabel Wentzel of South Africa’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Much of the water has already been drained to make the extraction easier. A veterinarian will be present during operation hippo extraction.  Wentzel said the 4-year-old hippo’s mother gave birth recently, and more dominant males forced him from the herd. More

Robot To Throw First Pitch At Detroit Tigers Game

 A robot developed by Detroit-area high school students will toss out the ceremonial first pitch at Wednesday night’s Detroit Tigers game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Colm Boren, an engineer and mentor for the FIRST Robotics organization, said a team of about 30 teenagers spent the summer designing the robot – Cy-ber Young – from the ground up.
“It’s a robot designed to throw out the pitch. It’s about the size of a shopping cart and uses a big scuba tank as the main source of power. So, we use that as basically a big pea shooter to blow the ball through a piece of PVC pipe.
There’s a camera that’s used and the robot actually travels out to the mound on its own. The kids are steering it with joystick controllers that you’d use with a video game and they have a laptop,” said Boren. More

Rogue Penguins Break Out of Zoo Yet Again

Tokyo, Japan - Some pesky penguins in the Japanese city of Suzaka are acting like characters in a Madagascar movie and are giving zookeepers quite the headache with their repeated attempts to break free. A pair of 3-month-old chicks from Suzaka Zoo first escaped earlier this month by jumping off a slide. Zookeepers responded by attaching boards to the foot of the slide, but two days later another chick got out by crawling under the fence, according to Japanese media reports. Keepers responded a second time, by sealing off the bottom of the fence. Early this morning, that same bird made yet another successful escape by hopping over the fence. Zookeepers spotted it swimming in a nearby pond a few hours later. More

Pet owners spend big bucks on dental work to give dogs dazzling smiles

Australia – Pet owners are spending up big on orthodontic braces, cosmetic dental work, root canal fillings, polishes and mouth washes to give their pooches dazzling, no-gap smiles and “kissable breath”.
Veterinary surgeon Kevin Cruickshank said: “There is a big shift in how pet owners look after their pets. They want them to fit in with the family, and many are treated like children.”
Image-conscious owners wanted their pets to look good – and there is nothing fun about “doggy kisses” by an animal with severe gum disease, said Dr Cruickshank, who runs the Gold Coast Vet Surgery, which has a specialist dental suite.
“I have come across pet-owners who have braces put on their dogs because the teeth are crooked, or get teeth fixed for cosmetic reasons to avoid gaps. More

Repasky says it’s likely there’s a wild honeybee colony at the airport somewhere. More

Monkeys Treated for Depression in Argentina

Argentina - Black howler monkeys at an Argentine ecological park have been suffering depression following the death of two of the oldest females in the group and had to be given medication because they refused to eat, the press reported. Two alpha females died a year and a half years ago from natural causes at the Rio Cuarto Urban Ecological Park some 650 kilometers (400 miles) west of Buenos Aires, and from that moment "their male companions began suffering depression and four let themselves die of sadness," park director Miriam Rodriguez told Clarin newspaper. The black howler monkeys in this 12-hectare (30-acre) park "live in a group and are very close to one another," Rodriguez said.

Judge orders woman to cut off daughter’s ponytail in court

The mother of a 13-year-old girl says she has filed a formal complaint against a juvenile court judge who told her he’d cut her daughter’s sentence if she cut off the girl’s ponytail in his courtroom.
