...and Let's Customers Wrestle Him
Dingo Berry did wrestle Giganto but didn't find him well-trained enough. "Hey man, I paid to wrestle a tame croc. This thing nearly took my leg off. Can you imagine how that would ruin your vacation? Giganto is not well-trained." Gespacho admits Berry had a bad experience but claims Giganto was just in a bad mood. "I think I fed him some bad chicken."
Man Punches Out Polar Bear

WHALE COVE, Canada- If a polar bear walks into your tent one thing that works is to punch it really hard in the nose. But you really have to commit according to Wes Werbowy, the 67-year-old wilderness guide who came face-to-face with a polar bear, while out camping in the far Canadian north, and survived. "He was just suddenly there in my tent. I've got a thousand pounds of bear, standing on my firearm, his face collapsing the screening of my tent right toward me, I'm still in my sleeping bag and this black nose is about two feet from my face." Werbowy says, in a flash he thought of two things-an Inuit elder who told him that for all their toughness polar bears have very sensitive noses and a nun who used to hit his hand with a ruler in grade school. The elder was right. With the fury of an angry nun Werbowy punched the bear with it all he had, walloped the furry white intruder straight in the kisser and the humbled beast took off bellowing into the night. "Sister Eloise even looked like that Inuit elder. If you put a fur collar on her habit, she'd look just like Nanuck."
Teenage Girl Hits Five Deer in a Year
CONRAD, Iowa- In the last 12 months, 17 year old Kacee Larson has hit five deer while driving her family's vehicles. Kacee's string of bad luck began last July when she hit her first deer and continued last week when she got number five. Kacee has flipped cars and minivans and killed a few and nicked a few other deer and now she is now known as "Deer Magnet Larson." After number four she was thinking, "'Why me, why me?' But now I know why. They hate me. Don't know what I did to them but they are out to get me so now I am to to get them." Kacee's mom just wishes the destruction would stop, saying, "The last car she destroyed was the only nice thing we had left."
Bimbo Bothers Bison
YELLOW STONE, Wyoming- A few tourists at Yellowstone National Park nearly got trampled by a charging bison. Cathy Hayes was taping a buffalo as her friend tried to get up close and personal with the beast. Footage from Hayes's camera shows how close they got before the bison got disturbed and started its charge. State Park official Cary Odes said, "Just because you have a video camera doesn't mean you have to tape yourself doing something stupid. The percentage of tourists who do dumb things like pet buffalo, feed bears, skinny dip in boiling hot springs has gone up exponentially since everyone has a video camera in their cell phone."
Whale Stalks Yachters And...
CAPE TOWN, South Africa- A South African couple have a whale of a story to tell after a whale leaped out of the water and landed on Paloma Werner and Ralph Mothes' 32-foot-boat. "We'd spotted it about 100 meters away and it seemed to be following us, playing, at first it was kind of cute," Werner said. "Then it just flew into the air and body slammed us. We were very lucky to get through it, the thing was huge."
Elk Ruin Kid's Swimmin' Hole
TINKEL CREEK, Wyoming- Howie Kline promised his kids that if they worked hard on the family ranch, which is miles from the nearest neighbor or town, he would build them a swimming pond. "They don't have friends to play with most days so I wanted to give them a place to swim and goof off," said the frustrated father. Kline built a spring fed pond for his kids to cool off after long days herding cattle but the first day after the spring had finally filled it a herd of elk settled in. "Did you know elk like to go number two in water? Well, we found out the hard way. Now, I'm told I have to drain the whole damn thing and shovel it out and start over," reports Kline.
Shark Says "Get Off My Beach"
SEASIDE, New Jersey- A 5-foot shark swam ashore at Seaside Park as swimmers were called out of the water, then stood around watching it in amazement. Eventually, the shark flopped back into the ocean and swam away. Swimmers returned to the water once it was deemed safe but not everyone was happy about it, especially Anthony "Tony" Tenor. "That shark came right up to my kids and I know it didn't make no noise, but it was like it was shoutin,' 'Hey youse' kids, get off my beach!' I do the same thing when the neighbor kids get in the yard so I recognized the attitude. That shark didn't like us being there. But it was hotter than hell back at the house so once the other kids got back in and didn't get eaten I let my kids go, too."
Skunk Bombs Away
COTTAGE GROVE, Oregon- Joe Raade has seen a lot in his 19 years in the emergency medical service business but until this week he never seen a turkey vulture drop a skunk onto a windshield, causing the driver to total their car. "This is a one in a zillion thing," said the astonished medic. The victim, Linda Shands said, "I saw the vulture coming at me like a plane aligning itself for a landing, then I saw the skunk's tail hanging and I thought, 'Oh, don't you dare drop that on me' but it did and after the windshield cracked and the air bags went off I hit the cliff." Her vehicle was totaled, and Shand cracked two ribs. Raade has offered to back up her story if Shand has trouble with the police or her insurance company. "You could see talon punctures on the skunk carcass and three of the vultures were perched on a cliff above us watching as we put her in the ambulance. The vultures seemed to know what was happening."
...Busts Their Boat
..."You should have seen the look in its eye as it flew past me onto the deck," said the shocked boater. "It looked angry. That was the sense I got. What a day! I was picking some potato salad off my shirt and suddenly a whale just misses my head."
Deer Suspected in Shooting

SALEM TOWNSHIP, Pennyslvania- State Police are trying to piece together the puzzling death of a motorcyclist from Westmoreland County. "I've never seen an accident like this," Chief Deputy Coroner Paul Cycak told reporters. Cycak said troopers saw a dead deer on Route 819 in Salem Township, and a wrecked bike with a man underneath it, and assumed the man died from injuries he suffered in a crash with the deer. But when they lifted the motorcyle off the body, they found a gun and discovered a bullet wound in the back of his head. While a self-inflicted wound is possible, the coroner said it isn't common for such a gunshot to happen in the rear of the head, especially while driving a motorcycle. So, who shot the cyclist? Is it possible the driver went down after colliding with the animal and tried to use his weapon to finish it off, but then had the gun turned on himself by the deer? "We're leaving it up to the coroner but that theory is in play," said State Trooper Cass Pulaski.
