Lion Kills Woman Having Sex In Bush
DOUWADIBBE, Zimbabwe- Sharai Mawera and an unidentified male were having sex in a bushy area of a Zimbabwe village when a lion attacked them. Mawera was mauled to death by the lion, but her boyfriend managed to escape wearing only a condom a source told AP news.

Deer and Cat Talk A Lot
ANTIGO, Wisconsin- Different species generally don't hang out together. Most species avoid each other. Except, of course, when they are trying to eat one another. But there is a cat and a deer who apparently love being together. Debbie White's cat, Dingers, thinks its best friend is a deer White has named PED. "It's the deer antler felt thing, Ray Lewis, all that... but Dingers and PED will play all day in the yard if I let them. Dingers wants PED to sleep inside. I'm tempted but it's crazy. I don't know what to do. Dingers whines all night for PED." Biologist Alex Montgomery says that would be a big mistake. "This cat and deer may be friendly but... one bad episode, a Pop Tart jumps out of the toaster and startles the deer, you could have a disaster."
Couch Potato Bear
AUBURN, California- Bears generally avoid contact with humans. At least one black bear not only seems comfortable being around humans but loves the things humans have, or used to have. Scott Farrell runs a land fill for Gangas Sanitation and says "I swear if I put a TV out there that bear would never get off the couch. We work around him all the time. He just sits there. He grunts sometimes and it used to scare me but now I think he is just asking to bring him a beer."
...Sinks...
PANAMA CITY, Panama- Captain Pepino Pequeno turned to see that the huge marlin was dragging his boat backwards and threw his vessel in reverse. Just then the marlin slacked off for a moment but then pulled hard causing Pequeno to fall off the fly bridge onto the deck. After the Captain got to his feet and climbed back up the fly bridge ladder the trophy fish slacked off and then pulled hard again and Pequeno...
Bear Totals SUV
MIGHTY RIVER, Montana- Ace Young loves to photograph wildlife. It now appears some of his subjects don't like having their picture taken. "I was taking some great shots of this grizzly that was getting closer and closer. He walks near me, stops, looks right at me, snorts, I thought I was done for, then he walks over to my Toyota, opens the door like he had been driving for years and started trashing it. Once he shredded everything, he got out, walked past me, snorted again and walked off. And the insurance company totaled it. I sure hope I sell these pictures," said the amateur lensman.
Dog and Cheetah Are Pals
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana- It's very common to have a dog as a pet, but not a cheetah. Sue and Pat McGuire have both. "These two just love each other. And as long as we feed Sandya (the cheetah) we are pretty certain Duke (the dog) is safe," said Sue McGuire. "They love to run together. We have let them go sometimes, out of the yard, but a few cats and dogs went missing from the neighborhood so now we keep them at home. But when these two are in the open field, man you should see them go."
Dolphins By The Millions Buzz San Diego
SAN DIEGO, California- Porpoises and dolphins travel in large groups called pods. Larger pods can grow to over 100 members. So, the tens of thousands of dolphins that flippered their way around San Diego could be described as the pod to end all pods. "Never seen anything like it," said harbormaster Jamie Raymond. "What they were doing out there, I don't know, but it made the Navy nervous. The fleet couldn't deploy for scheduled maneuvers for a couple of days while this mondo pod bottled the entrance to the harbor up. Kind of makes you wonder."
Fish...
PANAMA CITY, Panama- A group of sport fishermen went after a trophy catch on a once in a lifetime vacation trip and nearly didn't make it back. Cheers went up when one of the fishermen in the party landed what all could see was a humungous marlin.
...Fishermen
PANAMA CITY, Panama- ...slipped again, causing the captain to tumble in the fly bridge cockpit. In a fatal mistake, Pequeno accidentally grabbed the throttle as he fell and jammed it wipe open. The boat roared in reverse right into waves which came crashing over the transom and eventually sinking it. "The timing that fish had was incredible. He tugged hard twice at just the right time and down we went," said sport angler Bob Webber.
Baby Moose Ruins Snowmobiler's Season
ISHPEMING, Michigan- These days not every winter is good for snowmobilers so when enough white stuff is on the ground, riders are anxious to get out and make the most of it. Except when you are suddenly attacked by a baby moose. Then you may have a change of heart, like Stuart Hill, did. "I was minding my own business, going down the trail, suddenly this baby moose appears and I stop 'cuz it's cute and all and I don't want to hurt it and then runs up and attacks me, like really goes for me... it fractured my arm in 3 spots. I should have run the damn thing over."
