THIS GUY IS CHILLIN WITH THE LIONS


Jim Jablon will spend all of January inside an enclosure with two African lions as part of an effort to raise funds for a Florida wildlife rehabilitation center struggling to meet operating costs.

The cats -- a 2-year-old named Lea and a 1-year-old named Ed -- are young and playful, but they're also powerful and their caretaker sometimes feels over-matched.

"I'm still a toy to them," said Jablon, the longtime owner of Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando in Spring Hill, Fla. "They can be out cold and I'll sneak up between them and lay down, but as soon as they realize I'm there it's the battle of the bands.
Jablon, who does have a "lockout area" in which he can find refuge if things get too rough, countered that he doesn't feel threatened by the lions and pointed out that if the facility were to shut down, animals that were not accepted by other facilities probably would be put to death.

It costs about $75,000 annually to care for the 100 animals at the 14-acre center and Jablon says car washes and other small-scale fund-raisers are no longer sufficient. He hopes people visiting his website and watching the streaming video will feel motivated to make a donation. He expects to raise between $100,000 and $200,000.
I know he means well but I think he is still an idiont.

PAUL THE OCTO-PSYCHIC DIES


 Paul the Octopus, the tentacled tipster who fascinated football fans by correctly predicting results at this year’s World Cup, died Tuesday.

Paul had reached octopus old age of 2 1/2 years and died in his tank on Tuesday morning in an aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen, spokeswoman Ariane Vieregge said.
Paul seemed to be in good shape when he was checked late Monday, but he did not make it through the night. He died of natural causes, Vieregge added.
After rising to global prominence during the World Cup in South Africa in June and July, Paul retired from the predictions business after the final between Spain and the Netherlands—the result of which he also forecast correctly—and returned to his prime role of making children happy.
He would probably make a lot of people happy being fried and served on a dish, but hoew do you prepare octopus?

CHECK OUT THE REAL CROCODILE HUNTER


Chito rescued Pocho the crocodile nearly 20 years ago in Costa Rica after finding him on the side of the road with a gunshot wound to the eye. Chito cared for the animal until it was healthy again, but when he tried to release Pocho back into the wild, the croc wouldn't have it. Apparently, Chito's affections won over the massive reptile, as it followed him back home, and has been with him in the two decades since.

3 PEOPLE KILLED DURING BULLFIGHT


Colombian tradition turned tragic on Sunday when a bullfight spun out of control, leaving three people dead and at least 37 injured.

The local bullfight in the Andean community of Sabanalarga is known as the "corraleja", bringing together bulls and local residents in a party-like atmosphere.
Sunday's event, however, took a violent turn as onlookers spilled into the ring and found themselves being chased and gored by bulls.
A 20-year-old man was killed during the event, but the other two fatalities, both men in their forties, occurred in the hospital as a result of their injuries.

You must be cazy to step in the ring with a bull. Hey if it's not on my plate I ain't wrestling with it.

WOMAN THROWS CAT IN DUMPSTER


The cruel act was caught on camera in Brayâs Lane, Stoke, where the kitten's owners Stephanie and Darryl Mann have CCTV outside their home for security. After hearing cries from Lola the cat, who is not yet a year old, they found her trapped in the bin and replayed the video footage expecting to see teenagers or drunken hooligans committing the act in the middle of the night. But to their horror, they watched a middle-aged woman stop and pet Lola in broad daylight before dropping her in the bin and shutting the lid, leaving the cat trapped for 16 hours. Kinda funny but sad at the same time.

Dramatic video footage captured a bison attacking a Utah woman at Yellowstone National Park.

Cathy Hayes, 49, of Farr West, injured July 19 while filming bison near Biscuit Basin near Old Faithful, according to the Billings Gazette. Hayes estimated she got as close as 10 yards to film the video when the bison charged, the paper said.
CBS said the video shows the animal was apparently provoked when it was hit on the back with a stick.
Hayes, who was filming with her brother-in-law, told CBS' "Early Show" co-anchor Chris Wragge the bison "flipped me end-over-end like a rag doll, in the air."
CBS said Hayes injured her knee while her brother-in-law broke his shoulder trying to escape. Hayes' husband, who was in their car, was not hurt. This is funny people should know not to mess with wild animals
