Huge Pet Skunk Put On Strict Diet
09/30/09 - Odd Articles
“A pet skunk has been put on a crash diet after ballooning to double his size – by scoffing bacon butties. Mr Bumble tips the scales at nearly 15lbs – twice his recommended weight – after being fed up to two bacon sandwiches a day by his previous owners. They handed him over to the RSPCA because they were unable to control his weight gain and he is now on a strict diet of fruit and vegetables with two walks a day.” w/ photos
Little Bird Vs. Hawk
09/30/09 - Odd Articles
“How far would you go to get rid of an unwelcome visitor? This is the moment a tiny kingbird decided it was time to see off a potential predator circling his home. In a bold move, the aggressive little bird launched itself at the fearsome red-tailed hawk and sank its talons into the larger bird’s back. The feisty kingbird attacked the hawk as it ventured too near its nest, dive-bombing it relentlessly, before jumping on for a piggyback, clinging to it as it soared through the air. It enjoyed the ride for a few seconds before resuming the attack, pecking the hawk’s head in fury. The hawk, which is typically up to 50 times bigger than the kingbird, was powerless to shake its rider off and shrieked until it finally flew away to look for easier pickings elsewhere. The incredible moment was captured by amateur photographer Pat Gaines, 41, at Bonny Lake park in Colorado, United States.” w/ photos

“The typical winter hat poses a dilemma — put hair up, and endure your ticklish ponytail pressed against the back of your neck (not to mention the unflattering bump). Or keep hair down, and have it swing wildly across your face. We found a clever, comfortable solution in our women’s Go-Active Hat. Made out of water-repellent, non-itching Polartec Fleece, the Go-Active Hat lets you simply put hair up and pull it through — making it perfect for winter jogs or a day of skiing.” w/ photos
