Bobcat Breaks into Prison

 Security is tight at the Monroe Corrections Complex to keep 2,400 Washington state prisoners locked up, but it couldn’t stop a bobcat from breaking in.
Officers on a perimeter fence check apparently startled the cat about 11:30 p.m., said Department of Corrections spokesman Chad Lewis.
“And it ran the wrong direction,” he said, “through the razor-wire.”

Python found wrapped around baby`s foot in apartment

Police say a 2-foot-long ball python slithered its way into an Illinois apartment and wrapped itself around the foot of a sleeping 1-year-old boy and bit him on his left foot. Mattoon Police Department Deputy Chief Jason Taylor said the boy`s parents were awakened by the child`s noises to find the snake attacking their son about 11 p.m., the Mattoon Journal-Gazette amp; Times-Courier reported. The father, Devin Winans, used a blanket to pull the python off the child, and his mother took the boy to a health center for treatment of a bite mark, bruise and scratches, the newspaper reported.

A fruit-loving dog had to have surgery after wolfing down a strawberry along with the spoon it was served on. Max the rottweiler had to have an emergency operation after getting the five-inch teaspoon lodged in his stomach. The 10-year-old`s owner, Annette Robertshaw, of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, said her brother had been visiting her and was eating some strawberries when Max took a shine to them. He offered Max one on a teaspoon but was caught totally by surprise when the dog gulped down both items. Max did not suffer any immediate ill-effects but Mrs Robertshaw, 47, took him to her local PDSA pet hospital. An X-ray showed the spoon lodged firmly in Max`s stomach and he was rushed into surgery to remove it. PDSA veterinary surgeon Daniel Cook said: "I have never seen a dog that`s eaten a teaspoon before although we do see lots of odd things that dogs have eaten, such as socks and children`s toys."  More
