I remember reading about this last year.....

Drunk West Virginia raccoons: Animals that ate fermented crab-apples spark rabies scare

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

November 14 at 2:42 PM

Rabid animals are, of course, no laughing matter. The rabies virus can infect the central nervous system, resulting in disease and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But that happens after a host of increasingly scary symptoms: partial paralysis, agitation, hallucinations, hydrophobia. A British man and two children died in Morocco after they were bitten by a rabid cat.

So it was not surprising that when people in the city of Milton, W.Va., saw raccoons behaving weirdly, they involved the local police.

Officers staked out the area where the suspect animals were hanging out, looking for any signs of the masked perpetrators.

But when they caught two of them, they realized they were dealing with a different kind of issue.

The raccoons weren’t rabid. They were drunk.

The raccoons, apparently, had been feasting on crab apples that had fermented on the tree, causing the small animals to walk around “staggering and disoriented,” police said.

“Turns out they appear to be drunk on crab apples,” police said in their official statement to the community.

A brazen turkey is causing havoc in Rhode Island by blocking traffic, chasing people, and stopping them paying taxes

A wild turkey has been causing havoc in a Rhode Island town for six months, where it has been blocking traffic, chasing people, and stopping them paying taxes.

Three wild turkeys arrived in the town of Johnston in May, but one managed to evade permanent capture the entire time by deploying a number of tactics, including being able to recognise the animal control van, the Guardian reported.

The turkey has evaded town officials, halted traffic, and even interfered with people who were trying to enter the town hall to pay their taxes, the newspaper added.

It has also chased a fireman, attacked cars because it saw its reflection, and flown onto telephone poles and trees to evade capture in the past.

Officers caught two wild turkeys in Johnston, Rhode Island, in August, but one escapes and continues to wreak havoc in the town.

Officers have started to use an undercover vehicle and a launcher that can fire out nets to try to capture the turkey, Johnston mayor Joseph Polisena told the Guardian. But those attempts have been unsuccessful so far.

The turkey even managed to trap Polisena’s administrative assistant inside her car this August by going up to her window and refusing to move, the local Providence Journal reported.

Polisena described the bird as “like Al Capone and John Dillinger,” and admitted that it was smarter than the other two that had been captured.

“He’s unbelievably fast,” he added.

Polisena has also come up against the bird in politics – the turkey received 69 votes in the town’s mayoral elections in November, the Guardian reported.

A cow escaped the rodeo and disappeared into an Anchorage park. For 6 months, no one has been able to catch her.

Image
A rodeo cow named Betsy, pictured here on Dec. 26, 2018, has evaded capture for six months as she wanders the trails of Alaska's biggest city.


By Antonia Noori Farzan
January 16 at 6:45 AM

It was Father’s Day weekend last year when Betsy disappeared. Amid the bustle of Anchorage’s annual rodeo, the 3-year-old cow slipped out of her pen. Soon enough, she was headed for Far North Bicentennial Park, a 4,000-acre expanse of rugged forest at the outskirts of the city.

The real-life cowboys at the rodeo saddled up their horses and headed for the park, but it was too late: Betsy was gone. And six months later, she’s still on the run, having successfully evaded local law enforcement’s attempt to scour the area with a drone and her owner’s repeated efforts to track her down.

“I’m just totally exhausted from looking day in and day out,” Frank Koloski, Betsy’s owner, told The Washington Post on Tuesday night. “She’s a go-getter, that’s for sure.”

It’s not that Betsy has vanished altogether. In fact, Koloski estimates that he’s gotten dozens of tips from joggers, bikers, and cross-country skiers who have spotted the wayward cow calmly meandering down the park’s snow-covered trails. Often, he’ll wake up to a call from the Anchorage Police Department, letting him know that the residents of a nearby subdivision have reported a cow on the loose. But each time, it’s the same routine: “I go out there, I’m standing in her tracks and she’s nowhere to be found."

On Tuesday, officers from the Anchorage Police Department searched for the rogue cow with an infrared-equipped drone as part of a training exercise. But after two hours, they came back empty-handed.

Koloski, who works as a rodeo promoter, still isn’t sure exactly how Betsy managed to escape in the first place. He had purchased her the day before the Father’s Day rodeo began, anticipating that he would use her for educational demonstrations and also let kids ride her in the junior rodeo events that his company, Rodeo Alaska, puts on. Maybe she pushed her weight against a gate that hadn’t been closed all the way, or maybe someone accidentally let her out. All Koloski knows for certain is that she was in her pen one moment, and the next, she was gone.

The 47-year-old had a good sense of where Betsy might have headed. The rodeo was being held at an equestrian center just down the road from Far North Bicentennial Park, which is home to a recreational ski area and hundreds of miles of trails that are popular with cyclists on bikes equipped with fat off-road tires. Koloski and his co-workers set off in hot pursuit, traversing the slopes on horseback and on foot in the pouring rain. But they couldn’t catch up with Betsy.

In the fall, reports began circulating about a mystery cow that had somehow found its way into way into the park. “Almost got run over by a cow last night on moose meadow,” read a November post in the Anchorage Fat Bike Facebook group. “As in, cattle, not a bear or a moose. Wtf, am I crazy or has anyone else had a sighting in the area?” As it turned out, other cyclists had spotted Betsy wandering the trails, leading Koloski to theorize that snow-making operations at the ski hill had prompted her to migrate to a different part of the park.

Anchorage is home to all kinds of wildlife, but its sub-arctic climate is not exactly the type of place where you expect to see cattle roaming around. At first, local blogger Craig Medred recently noted, people who reported spotting a cow on the loose were told by other locals that they must be hallucinating, and a story about the strange cow that was broadcast by Alaska Public Media was met with skepticism. Last week, Koloski finally solved the mystery by joining the Anchorage Fat Bike group to ask for help locating his missing cow. In a Monday article in the Anchorage Daily News, he asked anyone who spotted Betsy to pin the coordinates and call his cellphone immediately.

"This whole entire city has been phenomenal with the support and with getting the word out to help bring my Betsy home,” Koloski told The Post. But so far, despite all the sightings, no one has been able to catch her. The cyclists and backcountry skiers who come across Betsy deep in the woods aren’t “the type that run around with the cowboys,” he pointed out, and lassoing a wary cow isn’t an easy task. Likewise, attempts to lure Betsy with food have been unsuccessful.

Elephant Seals Took Over a Beach During the Shutdown and They’re Not Giving it Back

Just keep it.


by Sarah Emerson Jan 30 2019

During the government shutdown, while nobody was looking, a herd of elephant seals took over a popular California beach and forced authorities to close the area to visitors.

The opportunistic animals are iconic residents of Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin County near San Francisco, where they can usually be seen lounging on the sand from afar.

But with National Park Service employees furloughed, and no one around to wrangle them, 50 to 60 seals moved into Drakes Beach, known by locals for its expansive shoreline and pristine views.

Had the shutdown not occurred, “we probably would have tried to move the seals further away from the parking area,” John Dell’Osso, chief of interpretation and resource education at Point Reyes National Seashore, told Motherboard in an email.

“This would be done by a standard practice of using tarps and waving them at the seals to the point where they turn around and go further down the beach,” Dell’Osso explained.

A mid-January storm, coupled with extreme tides called “king tides,” drove the seals away from Chimney Rock, a secluded point on the peninsula where the animals tend to congregate, Dell’Osso theorized.

The herd then moved north to Drakes Beach, knocking down a fence and colonizing the parking lot of the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center, SFGate reported on Tuesday.

At least two adult bulls, which can weigh up to 4,500 pounds, were spotted in the parking lot.
“One underneath a picnic table and one on the accessible ramp to the visitor center,” Dell’Osso said.

Staff closed the beach access road when the government reopened after President Trump announced on Friday that he’d pause the shutdown for three weeks. Some of the female seals are pregnant, and at least 35 pups have been born on the beach in the past two weeks, Dell’Osso said.

Elephant seals are perennial residents of Point Reyes National Seashore. The animals breed and pup in winter, which is followed by molting season and hauling-out, when the seals will spend much of their time on land (most of their lives are spent underwater).

The species was nearly hunted to extinction for its blubber during the 20th century.
Elephant seals disappeared from the Point Reyes Headlands for more than 150 years but returned in the early 1970s. Government protection and hunting bans have allowed their populations to recover, though colonies are still threatened by habitat loss.

The park, which is part of the National Park System, receives millions of visitors each year, many of whom are there to see the seals. During the 35-day-long shutdown, access to Point Reyes National Seashore was limited due to human waste and safety concerns.

Staff are still considering how to manage the beach now that seals have taken over. Guided tours of the new colony could be one solution, Dell’Osso told SFGate.

“On the weekends when we are at our busiest, we have docents and park rangers on the beach to make sure [tourists] do not get too close to the seals, for the safety of people and the protection of the resources.”

Russian islands declare emergency after mass invasion of polar bears

Experts deployed to remove dozens of hungry bears besieging Novaya Zemlya


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sigRLPxywjM

Russian environmental authorities have deployed a team of specialists to a remote Arctic region to sedate and remove dozens of hungry polar bears that have besieged the people living there.

The move came after officials in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, with a population of about 3,000 people, appealed for help.

“There’s never been such a mass invasion of polar bears,” said Zhigansha Musin, the head of the local administration. “They have literally been chasing people.”

Alexander Minayev, the region’s deputy head, added: “People are scared, and afraid to leave their homes. Parents are unwilling to let their children go to school or nursery.” A state of emergency has been declared in the region.
Other footage shows the polar bears feeding on rubbish at a local dump. Attempts to scare off the polar bears using car horns and dogs have all failed, the Tass news agency said.

Russia classes polar bears as an endangered species and shooting them is prohibited by law. Officials warn, however, that a cull may be necessary to ensure the safety of the local population, if attempts to remove the animals fail.

In 2016, five Russian scientists were besieged by polar bears for nearly two weeks at a remote weather station on Troynoy Island, east of Novaya Zemlya.

A huge, strange-looking fish washed up on a California beach. Scientists say it's a first
This hoodwinker sunfish washed up on a California beach, far from where it's usually seen.
(CNN) — This is the extraordinary tale of how a massive, strange-looking fish wound up on a beach on the other side of the world from where it lives.

The seven-foot fish washed up at UC Santa Barbara's Coal Oil Point Reserve in Southern California last week. Researchers first thought it was a similar and more common species of sunfish -- until someone posted photos on a nature site and experts weighed in.

What transpired after that surprised researchers from California to Australia and New Zealand.

It turned out to be a species never seen before in North America. It's called the hoodwinker sunfish.

"When the clear pictures came through, I thought there was no doubt. This is totally a hoodwinker," said Marianne Nyegaard, a marine scientist who discovered the species in 2017. "I couldn't believe it. I nearly fell out of my chair."

How the hoodwinker got its name

The hoodwinker sunfish was found on a beach in California. The hoodwinker sunfish was found on a beach in California.
Nyegaard spent years chasing the hoodwinker sunfish before she located and named the fish. All cases of the big fish were found in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile, she said. Except for one time in the 1890s, when drawings and records documented the fish appearing in the Netherlands.

Scientists say there are five species of saltwater sunfish, and they come from different places. One enjoys tropical waters, another likes the subtropics and the hoodwinker prefers temperate water, Nyegaard told CNN. She works in the marine division at the Auckland War Memorial Museum in New Zealand.

"This is why it's so intriguing why it has turned up in California," she said. "We know it has the temperate distribution around here and off the coast of Chile, but then how did it cross the equator and turn up by you guys? It's intriguing what made this fish cross the equator."

The antics of this wayward fish are comical, especially considering how the species got its name.

As Nyegaard researched the fish, she realized some species of sunfish had been misidentified. One species that was thought to be rare was very common, while another fish thought to be common was misidentified, she said.

"It had gone unnoticed because no one really realized it looked different. There's a long history of confusion about the species in the sunfish family," Nyegaard said. "This fish had managed to stay out of sight and out of everybody's attention. It had been taken for mola mola (an ocean sunfish) so it was hoodwinking us all."

And a bit of hoodwinking is what it was doing to researchers in California, too.

Scientists first thought it was a different type of sunfish

Thomas Turner and his son posed with the fish for scale.

An intern at Coal Oil Point Reserve alerted conservation specialist Jessica Nielsen to the dead beached sunfish on February 19. When Nielsen first saw it, the unusual features of the fish caught her eye.

"This is certainly the most remarkable organism I have seen wash up on the beach in my four years at the reserve," Nielsen said in a UC Santa Barbara press release.

She posted some photos of the fish on the reserve's Facebook page. When colleague Thomas Turner saw the photos later that day, he rushed to the beach with his wife and young son.

Turner, an evolutionary biologist who is six feet tall, stretched out his arms to show the scale of the seven-foot-long fish. He snapped some photos of what he thought was an ocean sunfish, a rare sight up-close, he said.

"It's the most unusual fish you've ever seen," said the UC Santa Barbara associate professor. "It has no tail. All of its teeth are fused, so it doesn't have any teeth. It's just got this big round opening for a mouth."

The mouth of the fish has a unique look, said Turner.

Turner posted his photos on iNaturalist, a site where people post photos and sightings of plants and animals.

A fish biologist commented and alerted Ralph Foster, a fish scientist and the fish curator at the South Australian Museum. It was Foster who first said this may be a hoodwinker sunfish and not an ocean sunfish in the comments on iNaturalist.

Turner was stunned, he said. "To discover that it may be the first record in all of the Americas and only the second Northern Hemisphere record for the species, then I got very excited," he said.

Foster excitedly emailed Nyegaard, the woman who discovered the species, and told her what he was thinking.

"He sent me an email with links and said, do you reckon this is a hoodwinker?" Nyegaard said. "But the pictures weren't very clear. I was reluctant to settle on an identification because it was so far out of range."

Nyegaard and Foster asked to see more photos so they could make a more educated call.

Soon they confirmed its true identity

It had been two days since Nielsen had first seen the fish. When Turner and Nielsen went back to the beach, the creature was no longer there.

They started two miles apart from each other on the beach and kept looking, walking toward each other until they found the missing fish. It had refloated on the tide and washed up a few hundred yards away, Turner said.

The pair looked for physical markers that are common in the hoodwinker sunfish.

Where a fish normally has a tail, the hoodwinker only has a clavus -- a structure that looks like a rudder, Nyegaard said. All sunfish have a clavus, but the hoodwinker's has a shape that's distinctive.

Researchers measured the clavus, which is distinctive in the hoodwinker sunfish.

It's scale structure and the number of boney structures also are different from other species, she said.

All of the features in the photos matched up with the hoodwinker. When Nyegaard saw the photos, she knew she had a hoodwinker case on her hands.

But how did it get there?

No one is sure whether this lonely fish wandered far from home on its own or is part of a population of hoodwinkers in North America that's yet to be discovered.

Nyegaard said she wants to compare a genetic sample of the hoodwinker found in California with her samples of the fish from Australia and her region.

"It's not uncommon for sunfish to wander really far," Nyegaard said. "In the future, we will understand whether this fish occurs regularly off the coast of California or whether this is a one-off.

Researchers investigated the fish, and took measurements of it.

Both Nyegaard and Turner marveled at how social media and the iNaturalist site can help bring researchers closer to an answer.

"iNaturalist is brilliant because we can log the sightings and learn more about (the fish's) distribution," Nyegaard said. "We are living in a changing world and it's important for scientists to get input from everybody in what they see because we can't be out in the field every day all over the world."

Turner said it was exciting for him to help identify the first recorded sighting of a hoodwinker sunfish in North America -- and only the second in the Northern Hemisphere.

"I'm a professor, I'm a biologist but I didn't actually know what was special about this fish," Turner said. "I just posted a picture and that connected me with the world's expert and the discoverer of the species."

Bald Eagle Trio Paired for Life?

Image

Three bald eagles—two males and a female—are nesting amicably at the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge near Fulton, Illinois—again. The three parents share incubation responsibilities for the eggs—three this year—as they have in previous years. [/b]Like their relationship, their history is complicated. Male Valor 1 was young when he was spotted at the nest site in 2012. He is presumed father of that year’s two eggs, but he wasn’t helpful at incubation or feeding the young, and both eaglets died. In 2013, two males hung out at the nest, but Valor 2 apparently replaced Valor 1, and produced two young with female Hope. The next year, vegetation obscured the nest, but three adults appeared to be tending the young. In 2015, three adults were clearly seen tending the nest: Valor 1, Valor 2, and Hope. This was proving interesting, so Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge installed a nest camera, and in 2016, it was clearly documented that both males were copulating with Hope, and all three shared in incubation, nest maintenance, and feeding the young. Three eaglets fledged that year. But disaster struck in 2017: After two eggs hatched, two “foreign” adult bald eagles attacked the nest repeatedly for several consecutive days. Valor 1 and Valor 2 defended the nest, but Hope disappeared, never to return. Both dads raised the two eaglets to fledging. That September, a new young female turned up at the nest, and both Valor 1 and Valor 2 courted her. She laid two eggs in 2018, and all three adults tended them. Only one eaglet fledged, and the new female was named Starr. In 2019, she and her mates produced three eggs between February 18 and 24.

Bald eagles are normally monogamous for life, and highly territorial. These males have proven faithful to their nest—or to each other?—despite the loss of their mate.

Many bird species, including bluebirds and scrub jays, famously employ nest helpers. Usually such helpers are the unmated young of the previous year. Several bird species, most notably phalaropes, are polyandrous, in which a female has several male partners during a breeding season, and leaves incubation and care of the young to her mate. A nesting trio is a rare occurrence among bald eagles, but this is not the first such case. Bald eagle nesting trios have been documented in Alaska in 1977; in Minnesota in 1983; in California in 1992; and a few others. In those cases, though, it was not clear which or how many eagles were actual parents, and the third eagle was termed a “helper” for its role in incubating and feeding young. In the current situation in Illinois, it is clear that those eggs have two fathers, which may be unique.

Nunes Lawsuit Backfires: ‘Cow’ Account Soars To 300K Followers Overnight
By Nicole Lafond
March 20, 2019 11:02 am
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) stepped in it.

After filing a lawsuit against a fake Twitter account — which is named after his “cow” and posts farm-related insults about Nunes, like calling him “udderly useless” — to spotlight Twitter’s bias against conservatives, the account’s followers soared.


Before the suit was filed on Monday evening, the account, “@DevinCow,” had 1,200 followers. As of Wednesday morning, “Devin Nunes’ cow” had more than 360,000 followers, including journalists like Jennifer Rubin and Joy Reid to actors, such as Aubrey Plaza and Mark Hamill.

Massive, rare sunfish washes on shore of beach in South Australia

Image
A rare sunfish that can weigh more than a car when fully grown washed up at the Coorong National Park in South Australia.

Two fishermen discovered the giant sunfish on the shore over the weekend. Linette Grzelak posted pictures of their find and told The Guardian Australia that her partner thought the dead fish “was a piece of shipwreck at first.”


Ralph Foster, South Australia Museum’s fish collection manager, said this particular type of sunfish was rare.

Biblical plague strikes Florida homes

By Yucatan Times on March 25, 2019

Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. — A Florida suburb is being plagued by thousands of poisonous toads. Experts say the amphibians are a species known as bufo toads (aka cane toads). Residents in the infested Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood are deeply concerned about toxins secreted by the toads could harm their pets and children.
CBS affiliate WPEC-TV broadcast images of the small toads clogging pool filters, hopping en masse across driveways and sidewalks, and lurking in landscaped lawns.

“I just saw a massive amount of toads all over my property,” a homeowner told CBS Miami. “You can’t even walk through the grass without stepping on one; they’re covering people’s driveways.”

“It’s not hundreds, we’re talking thousands of these little baby frogs,” said resident Carollyn Rice.

Jenni Quasha, a resident of Palm Beach Gardens, contacted her homeowner’s association, but says she was told it is her responsibility to handle the problem.

Mark Holladay of the pest removal service Toad Busters told WPTV that recent rains coupled with warm temperatures sent the amphibians into a unsual massive breeding cycle. Holladay said even more toads are likely to spread throughout South Florida in the coming weeks.
