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”.
