Do your homework and be prepared to put with many surprises, if you consider an anteater as a pet. First of all, they don’t come cheap (up to $4,500) - and they need a special diet (unless you have an endless supply of ants, but even then, they need a supplement) Tamanduas are very loving, but just like cats, they tend to “let you” love them.
Could be the title of a bad movie, or Pancho, head of Miccosukee security.
Investigators said officers responded to reports of car break-ins at a Miccosukee Indian Reservation parking lot located at 500 S.W. 177th Ave. in Miami.
One of the men was quickly captured by officers during the incident last week but the other robbery suspect tried to elude officer by jumping into a large pond behind the facility, according to a WJXT-TV report.
During the swim, police said, an alligator attacked and killed the man. He was apparently bitten on the head several times.
The victim’s body was recovered at the bottom of the pond about a day after the reported break-ins.
Chemists have created a collection of molecules that may have effects superior to marijuana. They are hybrids of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in weed, and anandamide, the euphoria-causing chemical found in sea urchin eggs.
The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi died on Sunday after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.
SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.
Sounds like a fun night. God bless the Sheboygan Police Department.
A live chicken found in the man’s trunk when police searched the vehicle was taken to the Sheboygan County Humane Society. The man told police he got the chicken from a local fast-food restaurant.

Keep your pet happy with this climate-controlled pet carrier. They currently aren’t allowed on public planes, perhaps their biggest potential use.
Unfortunately those who leave their pets to die in hot cars likely aren’t the same folks that would purchase one of these.

With all the chickens I see around town, I figured Miami didn’t have a solution to it’s poultry problem. I knew Key West was dealing with this same problem. However, Miami is indeed on the issue and it’s answer is called ‘Chicken Busters’.
The three-man team is an offshoot of Miami’s Code Enforcement Department. Formed in April 2003, the Chicken Busters go out about twice a month to rid city streets of stray roosters, hens and chicks.
So far, they’ve taken about 8,000 birds off the street. The birds are sold to farms in South Miami-Dade, and the money — $15,000 to date, including donations — goes to city charities.
It’s illegal to keep chickens in Miami and residential neighborhoods in most municipalities. Still, some people keep them for religious traditions. A lot of the time, the fowl are simply homeless.
Here’s an amusing slideshow. The ‘busters’ look a little slow. What they need is a few of the Hmong ladies that used to buy chickens from my parent’s farm. They’d grab the biggest and meanest roosters by the feet and stuff them into a feed bag in a split second.

I have very similar covers, but they don’t have animal sounds printed on them! However they were about half the price. Anyway if you currently use foil or sara wrap each time you open a can of pet food, please switch to this reusable option.

Technically they are called cockscombs…and hens also have them. One brave foodie prepared them with risotto to the below result:
“They barely hinted of giblets, and tasted rather ho-hum? Borrowing from the culinary finesse that is Ducasse, I simmered the combs in chicken broth and nervetti (calf’s foot aspic) until tender, then finished them briefly in the style of mamma. To the risotto bianco I added mascarpone instead of heavy cream at the end. The finishing touch was a drizzle of truffle oil over all.”
Whatever you add, disgusting!
