BRINGING WATER WILDLIFE HOME.
A couple of local London police found
themselves in a sticky situation after
discovering four three-metre West
African dwarf crocodiles in a semi-detached
house in the suburban town of
Croydon.
The police arrived at the house on an
unrelated matter, however their attention
was soon drawn to the quartet who were
stashed away in an upstairs bedroom.
According to wildlife experts West
African crocs are unlikely to kill humans,
but are very likely to take an arm or two
from anyone unfortunate close enough.
Following their discovery the crocs
were relocated to a nearby wildlife park.
WILL THIS MP BE JOINING A RUGBY CRUISE?
New Zealand MP, Clare Curren, was
given her marching orders from the
nation’s Parliament recently, after
turning up in her favourite Super 15
rugby team’s jersey.
The blue and gold Otago Highlanders
jersey caused contraversy when Curren
wore it into the NZ Parliament chamber,
in protest to the Highlander team’s
management decision to change the
club’s uniform.
According to reports, NZ Parliamentary
Speaker Lockwood Smith took umbrage
to the jersey, and had her ejected from
the chamber, saying her manner of dress
did not comply with Parliamentary dress
standards.
BLUE LOBSTER. A lucky lobster caught off the coast of Canada’s Prince Edward Island has managed to avoid the boiling pot, by the simple virtue of a genetic mutation which made it blue. Yes that’s right, a blue lobster. According to reports the mutation which turns lobsters blue only happens to around one in every million crustaceans, and is caused because of the overproduction of a certain protein.
