BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota- The Mall of America has had great success with their SEALIFE adventure center offering certified divers a chance to swim with the sharks in their aquarium. But when a photo on the internet, showing sharks swimming near escalators, went viral MOA suffered a 37% drop in business over the weekend. The photo is certainly not from the Mall of America which did not have a catastrophic aquarium failure allowing sharks to wander around the mall and was probably not real in the first place but posts on social media sites claiming to have seen sharks in the hallways at MOA went viral and may have kept a lot of people away.

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota- The Buck and Mary Beth Holtz family never thought twice about leaving the patio door open because they lived so far out in the country they couldn't imagine it would ever be a problem. That is, until a mountain lion wandered in one day while Mary and the kids were watching cartoons. "Damn thing just came in like it owned the place. We were all sitting there with our jaws open, paralyzed, but All-Star (their cat) jumped on its head and started growling. My youngest picked up my phone and took a picture, like we were at the zoo, but this was a mountain lion in our house." According to Holtz, the cougar looked at Spongebob Squarepants for a few seconds, then headed back outside with All-Star still growling menacingly on its head. When All-Star returned he was rewarded with an entire tin of tuna fish.

HOPE, Arkansas- Although they are probably thought to be the cutest of the rodent family, at least one chipmunk is nothing but ugly for the Kyle Cooter family. "Every time we get in the pool that flippin' chippee comes out and goes after the drinks. Margaritas or gimlets, whatever is out on the table, it drinks, then staggers off, then everybody wants a new one 'cuz the little beast had its lips on it. Damn thing can put it away, too," said Carl Cooter.

PORT MACQUARIE, Australia- A hostile kangaroo launched a savage assault on a mother after spending two days stalking her-then attacked her husband as she recovered in the hospital. Kirrily McWilliams was left with a 12-inch scar following the brutal attack by the powerful grey kangaroo as she walked down her driveway. It was the third time Mrs. McWilliams had been confronted by the intimidating animal in her yard after it hopped over her fence. Before the third attack McWilliams saw the crazed kangaroo racing towards her at high speed and with nowhere to hide she decided the best course of action was to drop to the ground and curl up into a ball. She sustained a large gash and other scratches on her back. But it wasn't over. While Mrs. McWilliams recovered in hospital the animal faced up to Mr. McWilliams, who fortunately was able to fend it off with a shovel. "I could build a taller fence but then we'd be living in a prison yard. It looks like I'll be getting a gun. I just hope the damn thing sits still long enough for me to get a good shot. If I have to shoot while it's hopping... well, I just hope the neighbors aren't home," said the frightened McWilliams.

ZANTACHHI, Philippines- Enrique Dominquez has bonded with a giant golden-crowned flying fox, one of the world's largest bats. The two spend much time together near his home, where the bat, Grande Jorge as Dominquez named him, hangs out. Why would a giant golden-crowned flying fox leave the safety of the jungle for an urban environment? "My idiot husband feeds the stupid thing all the time. And because he gets hand fed while hanging upside down, the stupid bat has developed acid reflux so we had to take it to a vet and pay for that. This is insanity," said Enrique's frustrated wife, Gloria. "My kids won't bring friends over anymore because they are afraid the other kids will see their dad talking to a giant bat."

WAVERLY, Iowa- Anika Ramlo was so excited to have a big 12th birthday party she couldn't sleep for the two nights leading up the big event. She had told all her friends they would get to feed deer at the Happy Hooves deer park, which hosted the party. And for the three hours Anika and her friends were there not one of the deer budged from their spot or let the kids get close enough to pet them. Happy Hooves owner, Jake Lager, said, "We need to rethink a few things. We put the feeder where the deer can get at it all day and they just won't move away from it. When the kids come over to pet them the deer think they are after the food and chase them off. We've had a few close calls."

SUPERIOR, Wisconsin- On occasion everyone sees two different species of animals, other than humans and their pets or work animals, together. But even more rarely, do two species fly together. And yet, a young eagle and seagull have learned to fly and work together in Lake Superior. The gull finds the fish, bobbing on the surface, the eagle circles above, waiting for the signal to dive, and after the kill, the two fly off together to have lunch. "It's like they have an air force," said," Cmdr. Dick Rettler, of the US Coast Guard. "I see these two every day, they work together and then they share the booty. It's kind of sweet."

BOXFORD, Massachusetts- A group of partiers in Boxford were sent out to pasture when a bunch of bovines decided to drop by and have a couple of brews. “It started off with a call for loose cows on Foster Street,” Boxford police Lieutenant James Riter said. “On my way down Main Street, I did see evidence that cows were in the area.” That evidence, Riter said, was something you wouldn’t want to step in. Riter followed the trail and saw the bovine bunch standing in the frontyard of a home on Main Street, then bolt for the backyard, he said. “And that's when the screaming started. I could hear commotion back there and when I ran around I saw the cows chasing humans away from their beers and lapping it up with their tongues." The cows had a choice between Bud Light and Miller Lite. Riter said they seemed to prefer the Bud Light. “When they ran out one of them started to forage in the recycling to see if he could find any last drops in there,” Riter said. Kevin Spencer, whose daughter Lauren was hosting the gathering said he did not believe his daughter when she came in and said "Dad, there are cows in the backyard." Spencer just replied "Stop the party; you’ve all been drinking too much!” But once outside he saw his daughter was telling the truth. The cows owner was contacted and he told police “My cows probably heard the voices at the party and decided to join in. They’re very friendly.” He also said his son sometimes feeds the cows hops, an ingredient in beer. “They've never gone so far away before but seemed to enjoy themselves so much,” he said of the cows’ party time.

MOORHEAD, Minnesota- After becoming disoriented and wandering into the city of Moorhead, Minn., over the weekend, a herd of deer panicked and crashed into windows and doors at the local mall, police said. 911 was called when about six deer ran into the Moorhead Center Mall, with one dying after it crashed through a large window at the center. Another was accidentally run over by a minivan nearby. According to WDAY-TV, the driver took the dead deer home for dinner. Owner of the damaged minivan, Wally Florian said, "I came here to buy a couple pounds of ground chuck and came away with about 60 pounds of venison."

EKTAPOODEM, Sweden- As if gigantic golden eagles aren't menacing enough, at least one is carrying a knife. A butterfingered wildlife photographer in Sweden had been cutting meat to lure the birds in when he dropped the blade in the snow. The eagle in the photo took advantage of the fumble. "At least, I was happy with the unique picture," Dutch photographer Han Bouwmeester told the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "The eagle is holding it exactly as we [do]. What a crazy, once-in-a-lifetime moment this was." But Rolf Stockhausen, naturalist at a nearby raptor center, said "Let's sure hope the eagle doesn't learn how to use that knife like we do, as in, killing stuff it wants to kill."
