45 snakes found under US house
March 25, 2019
When a man’s cable service started acting up, he decided to crawl under his home in Texas to see if he find out what the problem was When he got under his house he thought he saw just a few rattlesnakes. As it turns out, there weren’t “just a few” snakes under the man’s house. There were 45. There were snakes piled up together snakes hanging from above snakes basically everywhere! One by one they were taken out safely. It took three bins and buckets to hold all 45 snakes, and once they’d all been secured, they were driven to a safe location where they wouldn’t be disturbed were released.

Champion pigeon sells for $2.1million

He has been dubbed the “Lewis Hamilton of pigeons” and the “best Belgian long-distance pigeon of all time”. (Lewis Hamilton is a champion race car driver). Before this sale, the record was €376,000 (NZ$670,000). And to put it in perspective the usual price for a racing pigeon is around €2,500 (NZ$4100). However, two buyers from China ended up in a bidding war, escalating the price up to €1.25m in just over an hour. But Armando is no usual pigeon. The last three races of his career were the 2018 Ace Pigeon championship, the 2019 Pigeon Olympiad and the Angoulême – and he won them all. The champ, who turns five this year, is now enjoying his retirement and has already fathered a number of chicks. Although Armando’s racing days are behind him, racing pigeons can carry on having chicks until they’re about 10, and live up to 20. So it’s likely his new owners will breed him.
