68 year old John Mason was nearly killed when he stepped on an Eastern Brown Snake. The bite brought on 2 minor heart attacks as well as causing problems with his kidneys. Doctors stated that it can take up to 6 month for Mr Mason to fully recover from the bite.
A 14 year old Crocodile is the only thing in the world that loves Nokia cell phones. In fact she loves them so much that she ate one. The phone was dropped in the water by a careless viewer where it was promptly eaten by the Croc. Caretakers for the croc in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk didn’t believe the claims until the called the phone and heard it ringing in the belly of the animal. The croc has been refusing food however surgical intervention will not be done unless she continues to refuse food for another week. At press time there is no word as to weather the phone was insured.
A dead crocodile was found in a plane passenger’s luggage at an airport in Poland.
The three foot stuffed reptile was discovered by customs officials in Warsaw who were conducting a routine bag search.
Under European Union (EU) law it is illegal to transport the remains of protected species without official paperwork.
But the 19 year old who was travelling from Vietnam to the Ukraine with the dead animal insists he didn’t break any law because he was in transit from and to countries outside EU jurisdiction.
One customs officer said: “Prosecutors are deciding if any laws were breached and if they weren’t he can have his crocodile back. It seems a lot of trouble for something that is very nearly luggage itself.”
Well some of you may remember Keven Kibble who was accused of killing a snake do to neglect. Yep that’s right he has walked away because prosecutors attempted to charge him under the wrong law and the judge determined that he “unintentionally – rather than deliberately – omitted to provide adequate care” No word yet if they will retry the case.
