Beware of dogs:
injuries from animals are on the rise in Australia
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...ship-australia
A new report released on Wednesday by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare links the rising number of animal-related hospitalisations to increased pet ownership since the pandemic.
The report found a 10% increase in hospitalisations from 2019-20 to 2020-21, which the authors noted corresponded with the increase in pet ownership throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a national survey carried out by Animal Medicines Australia.
The most common injuries were open wounds and fractures, while the commonest body parts injured (nearly half) were upper limbs including wrists and hands, the report found.
It found dogs were the most common animal leading to hospitalisations, with 40% of all injuries from contact with animals due to being bitten or struck by a dog.

python meat could soon be on the menu
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...be-on-the-menu
At the risk of sounding like a cliche, the reptile expert says the meat tastes just like chicken.
Dr Daniel Natusch has eaten python in almost every way imaginable.
“I’ve had it barbecued. I’ve had it in satay skewers. I’ve had it in curries. I’ve had it with Indigenous people in the wilds of the Malaysian jungle,” he said.
“I’ve even done it myself as biltong – uncooked meats that are dried with herbs.”

California mountain lion attacks
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ack-california
Statistics from California’s fish and wildlife department document only 22 mountain lion-on-human attacks in the state since 1986. Four of those cases involved mountain lions killing people, according to the stats, which were last updated in May 2022.
The most recent of those attacks was in 2004 in Orange county. In that instance, a mountain lion killed the competitive cyclist Mark Jeffrey Reynolds in Whiting Ranch wilderness park, the San Francisco Chroniclereported. The same mountain lion which killed Reynolds was suspected of injuring a second cyclist hours later before deputies shot the animal to death.
Meanwhile, CBS News’ affiliate in Sacramento reported that the last time a mountain lion killed a person in El Dorado county before Saturday was in 1994.
Mountain lions, also known as cougars, vary in size. But, typically, they can be about 30in (76cm) in height at the shoulder, 8ft (2.4 meters) in length, and 175lb (79kg) in weight.

missing dog found 2,000 miles from California
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...found-michigan
Nearly nine months after his disappearance, a dog that had gone missing in California was discovered more than 2,000 miles away in Michigan.
A resident in Harper Woods, a Detroit suburb, contacted police in late March to report a stray dog in her neighborhood. Police collected the terrier mix, named Mishka, and brought her to an animal welfare group.
Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society said it quickly discovered that the dog had an identity chip implanted in her with information about her owner.
Mehrad and Liz Houman live in San Diego but were traveling to Minneapolis to see relatives when the phone rang. Once the family landed in Minnesota, Mehrad drove 10 hours to Michigan to see Mishka, the adoption group said in a Facebook post with pictures and video documenting the reunion.

Fossil of ‘largest snake to have ever existed’ found in western India
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-western-india
Fossil vertebrae unearthed in a mine in western India are the remains of one of the largest snakes that ever lived, a monster estimated at up to 15 metres in length – longer than a T rex.
Scientists have recovered 27 vertebrae from the snake, including a few still in the same position as they would have been when the reptile was alive. They said the snake, which they named Vasuki indicus, would have looked like a large python and would not have been venomous.
Vasuki, named after the snake king associated with the Hindu deity Shiva, rivals in size another huge prehistoric snake called Titanoboa, whose fossils were discovered in a coalmine in northern Colombia in 2009. Titanoboa, estimated at 13 metres long and more than 1 tonne, lived between 58m and 60m years ago.

Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book
https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...-and-goat-book
“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”
Incredibly, Noem’s tale of slaughter is not finished.
Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”.

The world is his oyster:
Australia’s heaviest oyster
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...eaviest-oyster
Now almost 10 years old, Jill – an oyster that caught his eye nine years ago – weighs 3.01kg. That makes Jill Australia’s – and potentially the world’s – heaviest oyster, after it beat Big Boppa, at 2.44kg, and Keithy, 2.4kg, to win the title at Australia’s biggest oyster competition at the Narooma oyster festival on the New South Wales south coast on Saturday.
Connell bought Jill from a hatchery in Tasmania when the juvenile was the size of a match head. After relocating the baby oysters to his farm on the Clyde, he usually sells them when they are 10 months old, but occasionally finds a mollusc that is too promising to let go.
But the secret to Jill’s size, says Connell, is the purity of the Clyde’s water and the health of its algae. Pacific oysters eat 18 kinds of algae, feeding “all the time”, while the smaller native Sydney rock oysters feed on just three algae.

Family of bears cools off in California pool
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...les-california
A family of bears in Monrovia, about 30 minutes from Los Angeles, took a stroll through a backyard on Monday afternoon, exploring their surroundings and investigating a pool.
Video captured by the home’s occupant Rick Martinez showed a bear and her cubs roaming the property and scratching a tree. At one point the adult bear hopped into the pool and went for a swim while two tiny cubs watched on curiously.
“This is their land,” Martinez said. “They are used to coming through here. We have healthy boundaries with them. If they’re outside we stay inside. We let them do their thing, we admire them.

Great goat giveaway
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ar...doption-offers
Riccardo Gullo came up with the novel idea after a census estimated the number of feral goats on Alicudi, the smallest of Sicily’s Aeolian archipelago, was six times the island’s year-round human population of 100.
But as news of his “adopt a goat” initiative spread beyond Alicudi, he received a flurry of offers from around the world – not just from Europe, but also the US, and even from an animal-lover in Nigeria.
Alicudi’s goat dilemma began two decades ago, when a small number of the animals were brought to the island by farmers. But when the focus of the island’s economy shifted to tourism, the farmers left the goats to their own devices.
