Hamster Killing

What if we told you there was a hamster who has been trading cryptocurrencies since June — and recently was doing better than Warren Buffett and the S&P 500?

It might be beneficial to keep an eye on the little guy.

 

 

Lizards Not Leaping In Florida

Low temperatures have prompted bizarre warnings about potential injuries from 'falling iguanas' in Florida.

Weather warnings have been issued to warn shocked locals that they may be hit by an iguana as temperatures plummet.

Iguanas, which are cold-blooded reptiles, can get so cold that their bodies become rigid, making them unable to cling to whichever branch they're on, causing them to fall to the ground.

It's not a shock to locals when the temperatures fall; it's the visitors who may need the warning.

The lizards usually recover just fine as they warm up.

 

 

 

Hong Kong Hamsters

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong authorities said Tuesday that they will kill about 2,000 small animals, including hamsters, after several tested positive for the coronavirus at a pet store where an employee was also infected.

The city will also stop the sale of hamsters and the import of small mammals, according to officials from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The pet shop employee tested positive for the delta variant on Monday, and several hamsters imported from the Netherlands at the store tested positive as well.

It appears that they have no plans to kill the employee, at the moment.

Minks are the only known animals to have caught the virus from people and spread it back, according to Dr. Scott Weese at Ontario Veterinary College.

Land Of Dog Bones

10,000 years ago, people in America paid respect to their canine companions.

 

Crappy Jobs

There is a dog in Washington state named Tucker, and he can smell orca poop that is floating on the choppy waters of the Puget Sound from more than a mile away.

This is invaluable to the University of Washington biologists who work with the black lab mix, because the feces can tell them about killer whales’ hormone levels, diet and toxins, and that information can help them understand why the region’s killer whale population has dropped. But orca poo floats for just minutes, so people don’t stand a chance to locate it alone.

The nose knows where killer whales go.

 

Pig-Hearted

In a medical first, doctors transplanted a pig heart into a patient in a last-ditch effort to save his life and a Maryland hospital said Monday that he’s doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery.

While it’s too soon to know if the operation really will work, it marks a step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants. Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center say the transplant showed that a heart from a genetically modified animal can function in the human body without immediate rejection.

GMO may save a life.

No word on whether he eats bacon.

 

Welcome To The Mootrix

Cows cooped up for the winter are being fitted with virtual reality goggles — so they think they are outside in a summer field.

And the bamboozled bovines appear to be happier and producing more milk.

Weirdness works overtime.

 

Fork-Tender Around The Tire-Tread Marks?

Pennsylvania police pulled over a suspected drunken driver around midnight on Thursday and discovered a live deer in the back of the vehicle.

It had apparently been briefly knocked out when it was struck by a previous vehicle, so when the occupants of this vehicle saw it, they stopped and loaded it into the trunk of their car. Everything was going great until the animal regained consciousness.

One Two Three, Doing The Batty-Bat

U.S. health officials are urging people to take precautions and seek treatment when coming in contact with bats after five people died from rabies last year.

Bats, maybe. Leftists, assuredly. Best advice: stay away.

Both will kill you.

 

Catlink

Looks like SpaceX’s Starlink — Elon Musk’s bid to establish his space company as a heavyweight internet service provider using constellations of small satellites — receiver dishes are attracting local cats on cold days. In a recent Starlink customer’s tweet, we counted at least five cats cuddled up on one of the dishes, apparently to stay warm and take advantage of the heat it produces.

“Starlink works great until the cats find out that the dish gives off a little heat on cold days,” Twitter user Aaron Taylor tweeted on New Year’s Eve.

Maybe if they didn't just set the receiver on the ground....
