WHAT'S IN THE NEWS

It seems that animals were very busy this November and some of them made the news. Here are some of the more popular ones.

Drunk Moose Invade Swedish Seniors Home By The Associated Press
Sat Nov 12

a retirement home in southern Sweden had to deal with both: A pair of intoxicated moose invaded the premises.

The moose — a cow and her calf — had become drunk over the weekend by eating fermented apples they found outside the home in Sibbhult, said employee Anna Karlsson.

Police managed to scare them off once, but the tipsy mammals returned to get more of the tempting fruits. This time the moose were drunk and aggressive, forcing police to send for a hunter with a dog to make them leave.




Let's go for a swim and try to sober up.

My all time favorite has got to be about the Giraffe.


Wanted: Mate for lovesick giraffe in Mexico park
Fri Nov 11


Keepers of a small menagerie at a Mexican park are looking for a mate for a lovesick giraffe after the 15-foot-tall beast tried to make love to a tree and a garden shed.

The director of Central Park in Ciudad Juarez, south of the border from El Paso, Texas, said on Friday they have been looking since last month for a mate for the five-year-old giraffe, named Modesto.

"He's driving us crazy," Juan Aragones told Reuters in a telephone interview. "He's mounted a tree, a fence and even a shed."

The giraffe, has never had a sexual partner.

If you can't provide a mate, then that animal should be returned back to Africa....

Keep that moose away from grain alcohol parties. That will really get you f-ed up fast! The giraffe story is the best though - I totally agree! That giraffe is going nuts from the lack of action. Quick, someone introduce him to a WNBA star to mate with. Ha-ha.
