Think you've seen an unusual critter in the wild? The citizens of Stubbington, Hampshire(UK) probably did as well...until a purple colored squirrel was observed prowling the trees of this southern English town. Wildlife experts are, admittedly at a loss as to why the arboreal critter has purple fur: A Nut's Tale: Southern English town home to purple squirrel |

They say cats have nine lives. If that's the case then "Voodoo", a seven year old cat, has definitely used up one of his: this cat recently survived a 34 story fall, about three hundred feet, from a high rise apartment building in Queensland(Australia). Apparently some shrubbery broke the animal's fall enough and helped the animal escape more serious injuries, or death. The cat has been treated for minor injuries: Legends of the fall: cat survives 34 story plunge |

A 140 year old lobster named "George" has been freed from the confines of a New York city seafood restaurant lobster tank after PETA(People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) contacted City Crab And Seafood and formally requested the venerable crustacean's release. Lobsters are thought to live well past one hundred years by marine biologists and "George's" age is believed to be one hundred and forty years because of his weight, which is twenty pounds. This lobster is scheduled to be moved to an area off the coast of Maine where lobster trapping is prohibited: Pincer movement: venerable lobster freed from restaurant menu

In a dated story, butchers in Bucharest, Romania attempted to construct the world's largest sausage on Saturday, 12/27/08, the enormous sausage to be presented to the locals, and a representative of the Guinness Book Of World Records, during holiday festivities in the Romanian city. The sausage, called "wors" in Romania, was 392 meters long(1286 feet), weighed 330 lbs and took two weeks to make. The link(no pun intended)-- Not so missing link: largest sausage on Earth prepared in Romania A man in Denton, TX expecting a shipment of hand tools instead received a brick of marijuana. The contractor, understandably surprised to see the brick after opening the UPS delivered package, immediately contacted police. The marijuana brick had a street value of $10,000. There was, not surprisingly, no return address on the package: The grass is greener on the other side: Texas contractor awaiting tools in the mail gets weed instead

Some of the strangest news around the world involves animals and this story is certainly one of them: in Lagos, Nigeria local police have arrested and detained a goat for armed robbery. A street patrol of vigilantes spotted a group of men trying to steal cars and gave chase to the fleeing thieves. All of the thieves got away...until the patrol appeared in a local police station in possession of a black and white goat, and claiming one of the thieves used black magic to transform himself into the animal to avoid detention and arrest. ...no word as to whether the goat has hired an attorney. The link: Nigerian police detain goat for armed robbery
