Bold Bunnies Attacking Cars At Denver Airport

Colorado - Bunnies have been wreaking havoc on cars parked at Denver International Airport - eating spark plug cables and other wiring. The furry creatures have already caused thousands of dollars in damage as wildlife officials work to solve the problem. "I see at least dozens every morning," airport shuttle driver Michelle Anderson told KCNC-TV. "They go hide under the cars and the cars are warm." A spokesperson from an automotive service centre said the rabbits are chewing on the insulator section of the vehicles` ignition cables, which can lead to hefty repair bills. More

Gorilla protects boy from other gorillas at zoo

Jambo was a gorilla housed at the Jersey Zoo between 1972 and 1992. While gorillas can often be unpredictable and sometimes violent, Jambo became famous for an act of protection. On August 31, 1986, five-year-old Levan Merritt fell into the gorilla enclosure at the Jersey Zoo. The fall caused him to lose consciousness amongst the giant gorillas. Jambo stood guard over the boy, placing himself between Merritt and other gorillas in the enclosure. Jambo proceeded to stroke the back of the unconscious boy. When Merritt regained consciousness, he began to cry. The gorillas, including Jambo retreated in panic. Jambo lead them into their house. Thankfully, an ambulanceman and two zookeepers were able to rescue Merritt. More

15,000 crocodiles escape from farm

South Africa – 15,000 crocodiles escaped from a farm in South Africa following heavy rain.
The crocodiles sprung from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in the far north of the country when owners were forced to open the gates to prevent a storm surge after the nearby Limpopo river rose.
A number have since been recaptured, but at least half remain on the loose, scattered far and wide.
“We’ve been recapturing them as and when the local farmers phone us to tell us that there are crocodiles on their property,” said Zane Langman, the son-in-law of Johan Boshoff, who owns Rakwena.
He added the most of the recapturing efforts were taking place at night.
Crocodiles are apparently easier to catch at night because their eyes shine red in the dark. More
