Not a pretty way to go....
BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) -- A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.
"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.
Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.

Australian woman killed by pet camel
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- An Australian woman was killed by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present, police said Sunday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was killed Saturday at her family sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 350 miles west of the Queensland state capital Brisbane, state police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory said.
The 10-month-old male -- weighing about 330 pounds -- had knocked her to the ground then lay on top of her in what police suspect was mating behavior, Gregory said.
Camel expert Chris Hill agreed with Gregory.
Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20 years, said young camels are not aggressive but can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline.
The woman was given the hand-reared camel in March as a birthday present from her husband and daughter.
The fate of the camel is not known.
An autopsy of the woman will determine the precise cause of death within days.

| When I was a small girl, I went with my mom to the ZOO back home in my former country, and along one of the paths, they had a locked glass vitrine with a torn-up little girl's sweater. Apparently (as I was told) the little girl to whom it once belonged was with her parents in the ZOO one day when she fell into a cage with hyenas. The torn-up sweater in the display was the sweater she was supposedly wearing that day, and the ZOO authorities put it there later as a warning to the other people and children to see what could happen to them if they were careless and not paying enough attention to safety... I guess they thought it was poignant, cause you could see all these holes and bites and places where there was fabric torn out, so that kinda showed the brutality of the attack... I remember that when I was small (I guess I was only about four years old) and visiting the ZOO that day, my mother stopped by that glass display and was showing it to me and then telling me in a strict voice how I should be careful and not mischevious and whatnot, cause that's such a bad thing that could happen if I'm not... I couldn't fully understand the scope of the story back then, but it stuck in my memory ever since. |

In any case, hearing stories of people who get mauled, attacked, or killed by animals is not so uncommon.... But how about this:
| quote: | | During Ben's many years of observing his orphan [bears] growing and having families of their own, he also cites wonderful examples of friendship and favours granted outside the family unit. He recalls a well-documented historical account from Warren, New Hampshire: In June of 1873, a small girl, age three, wandered off into the woods. Neighbours searched for her for four days before beginning to lose hope. When they finally found her, she was unharmed but hungry, sleeping under a large pine tree, with bear tracks all around her. She said that a big black dog had found her and slept with her every night to keep her warm. |

Now that is something that I find amazing, or if you wanna put it in other words, very hard to believe... not that I doubt the credibility of the story, oh no, but it just seems so out of the ordinary... Like WOW! :eyespop: Man, that little girl sure must have been lucky... |

Thank you... :) That's a European red squirrel... I like Canadian squirrels too though - they are more tame and open to people, at least the ones that live in cities (which is sometimes not to their advantage I guess) and if they live in parks, you can go and feed them and they'll come hopping to you... my stepfather told me that many years ago, when he used to live in a house with a big garden, he would give the local squirrel peanuts and other food and then after she got used to him and came regularly, he once gave it a real unopened coconut - and then he amused himself watching how this squirrel was trying to manipulate the coconut to open it, or to carry it away... ha ha, of course it gave up eventually, but he said it was fun watching it that time. |

That is soooo awesome!! HAHAHAHA totally something id do or want to do.
One of my exs from public school, they had this squirrel that lost its tail (run over by a car) that hung out in the big maple tree in their front yard... it became pretty passive, they fed it all the tiem.
it would come right up to you to take food from ur hands, or atleast from rigth at ur feet if u threw it there.
i remember at one point in a family BBQ (so kids, parents, aunts, uncles, etc), it actually weaved through the throng of ppl in the back yard to come to the deck steps to get the peanuts we were putting out for it :D
That was awesome. The second anyone would go outside from her house, the squirrel would immedialtey perk up and come close to see if there was any food comeing for it :) :) |

Yeah, that kinda sounds a bit like one squirrel I used to feed in the park many years ago. After a few times of meeting it, it remembered me, and then it came running to me everytime it saw me. Of course, I always came ready with food supplies :-) and it was just the same as the one you mentioned, it was willing to take peanuts from my hands, but I was too afraid to hand them to it directly, so I always just threw them on the ground when the squirrel came within reach. But what's more, that squirrel seemed to be somehow dominant, cause when I was feeding it and the other squirrels saw that and they came over to have their share too, this one would actually charge at them and drive them away or even -rarely- attack them to get as much food as it could for itself. I don't know how it managed to remember me, cause I would be wearing different clothes on different days, but somehow it knew and always came running. It has to be pointed out though that from among the squrrel population in that particular park, this one was one of the more brave ones, less afraid of humans than many of the others were, so perhaps that's why it was mentally appropriating most of the peanut prize for itself. :)
Anyways... nice talking to ya ;) |
