DALBY, Australia- This part of the world has been hit by devastating floods and, now, to add insult to injury cold-blooded enemies are working together in frightening ways. Usually snakes eat frogs and vice versa but in tough times these two species are working together to take over the few areas that are left above water. "Dozens of snakes are ferrying frogs over to my barn. At first it was cute but now it's like a plague from the Bible, I've got frogs everywhere and they've eaten everything," said frustrated sheep farmer, Milton Calderra. "These snakes are like a skinny, evil trolley delivering pure hungry evil right to my barn."

KEEF BAY, Turks and Caicos- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richard's has employed guitar tech Pete Goodwine for decades to take care of the famed rocker's collection of instruments. And for the past 11 years Goodwine has brought his Golden Lab, Brown Sugar, with him to the islands for work. Brown Sugar, as a puppy, made friends with Macawber the dolphin and they have been playmates ever since. "Brownie will dash right to the beach as soon as we get out of the cab and bark and bark until Macawber shows up. Then they play and swim and carry on, it's such a joy to watch," said Goodwine. When asked why he thought these two species got along, Richards said, "Dolphins and dogs are the only two species that have ever been given their own TV shows, so all the Lassies and Flippers now get along."

MOSCOW, Russia- A wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun while he tried to finish the animal off with the butt of his rifle. The unnamed hunter, who had approached the fox after wounding it from a distance, was in the hospital with a leg wound, while the fox made its escape. "The fox played dead for awhile and then pulled the trigger with its paw," a witness was quoted as saying. "I don't know what my grandpa was thinking. Why finish something off with the butt of your rifle when that something you're trying to finish off is wild, has teeth, is angry at you, and you have lots more bullets!?"

SAN DIEGO, California- It's hard enough to get reluctant pandas to mate but what to do when the female so dislikes the male she tries to pick a lock to escape him presence? "We knew Lack Schmee was not going to give herself up easily but she dislikes Sing Sing so much we can't keep her away from the lock on her enclosure. She has seen us open and close it and figures this must be her way out. Poor Sing Sing tries but this date is not going well," said Mike Koste, Director of Zoo Breeding Programs.

POLONIA, Wisconsin- Florian Klasinski has worn the same watch since his 1968 tour of duty in Viet Nam. Through decades of hunting and fishing and farming he has never broken or lost his much loved timepiece. But then his bull, Rocky, stole it. "That dink grabbed that watch right off my wrist with his tongue. I was in Vegas once and a magician did the same thing with his hands but that was just part of the act. Eventually the Amazing What's-His-Face gave me the watch back. But Rocky is hanging on to it. I guess I have to keep checking. Might have to take a metal detector out to the pasture 'cuz I haven't given up on it."

HARLIGEN, Texas- Growing up, it was always said there wasn't a critter Tim Messina couldn't tame. And his pet boar, Ralph, seems to prove Messina still has that gift. His neighbors, on the other hand, are not happy at all and want nothing to do with the "gift." Sidney Dorfman recently told reporters, "I know this is Texas and everything, but, when you walk out to get the morning newspaper and see Ralph... it's just plain scary. Should I have to carry a cannon of a firearm just to feel safe in my own neighborhood? I mean, aren't some zoning laws being violated here?" Messina says Ralph is a real "pussycat that just wants to lay in the clover and have me scratch his ears." Texas Wildlife Authorities are considering the matter.

PORTAGE COUNTY, Wisconsin- When it comes to mass animal death in 2011, birds do it, fish do it, and now even cows do it. For a number of Christian theologians, it suggests the End of Days is near. After the Portage County Sheriff's Department discovered "numerous dead cows" in a field, some are certain the Biblical prophecy of The Rapture is at hand. Some Christians, including online theologian Paul Begley, believe the death of cows, birds and fish follow the prophecy set out in the Book of Hosea, and the result when man turns his back on God. "Unless these animals are trying to fool Christians by committing mass suicide, falsely suggesting the End of Days in near, I think it could be happening." Asked why animals would try to deceive Christians in that way, Begley said, "Why not? Satan couldn't be working through them? It's just something I think could happen."

BERING SEA, Alaska- The nuclear attack sub, the U.S.S. Vince Lombardi, faces many enemies when it is at sea. This latest era nuclear subs has myriad defense and offensive strike capabilities. But being attacked by a polar bear was not considered when the Lombardi was built. Damage to a docking cleat was easily repaired but crew members had a hard time believing their sub looked like the world's biggest walrus. "Why did that bear lunge at the conning tower? Can't say but even if we were a walrus, I wouldn't want to tangle with one our size," said Lt. Cmdr. James T. Cerck.

BISMARCK, South Dakota- Every parent wants their child to grow up in a happy home and provide for them in the best way possible. If only the books on child rearing included a passage saying "Close patio doors so mountain lions don't sneak in and take over your daughter's Fisher Price playground," Mary Holland might have avoided a disastrous holiday season. "On Christmas Day we were cooking and the house was heating up so I opened the sliding door to the sundeck and when I turned around a bit later there was a mountain lion in Cayla's (2 year old daughter) new playground thing. Thank god it took off when it saw us but Cayla won't go anywhere near that playground now, and that was her major Santa toy."

LARGE GAP, Oregon- Tom Bauman went hunting alone, and after a long day of tracking got his elk. Bauman then set up a camera on a stump to record his trophy kill. After the auto-timer and flash went off the jubilant hunter began the arduous task of dragging his elk back to the cabin. Days later, back at home, the still beaming hunter downloaded the photos he took of the hunt and noticed he was not alone when he posed with that trophy elk. In fact, right behind him was a trophy mountain lion that wanted Bauman's trophy elk for dinner. Or, perhaps, the hunter himself was to be dinner. "I have no idea why that cat left me alone but I think the flash must have scared him off," said the ex-elk hunter. "When you're in the woods posing next to a big hunk of meat, always use the flash," recommends Bauman.
