So the “Three Little Pigs” was fiction?
What next? Little Red Riding Hood?

Trail cam captures a wolf protecting piglets. A farmer in Montana set up a trail camera near his property to keep an eye on wild pigs that had been roaming close to his fence line. One night, he heard panicked squeals and a roar echo through the trees. When he went out the next morning to check, he found a mountain lion lying dead near the brush. Confused, he wondered what could have possibly killed it, knowing the only animals in the area were wolves, and they’re not known to challenge mountain lions.
When he checked the footage, what he saw left him speechless.The camera showed a lone wolf stepping between three tiny piglets and the approaching lion, defending them with everything she had. Experts later confirmed it’s one of the rarest interactions ever caught on film, a wolf protecting another species. As one researcher put it, “Wolves aren’t supposed to do this… but maybe compassion isn’t something we can predict.”

Jeff Bezos sent me a snake grasper! Thanks Jeff! And he sent it all the way from China.
Now, next time a snake won’t move of its own volition I can first try pushing it from a safe distance, or pick it up to make the decision for it.

I am aware these are not as safe for the snake as just using a hook, but my fear limits me to these for now…..maybe in time I will feel the confidence to use the hook.

Maybe the cartoonist got this wrong?

AI Overview

+4
While it is debated whether cows understand their own impending death in the way humans do, they likely sense danger and distress, which can be triggered by the sights, sounds, and smells of a slaughterhouse. Evidence suggests they can become highly stressed in the environment and may react in ways that indicate fear and attempts to avoid the situation.

I was glad to see it was not a Gary Larson comic, as I think he knew animals pretty well.

I have heard from several old-time Tucsonans who met John Wayne when he was acting here, that he was a very polite and “real” person.

"John Wayne Saved a Stray Dog from Being Shot—And Kept Him by His Side for the Rest of the Film
While filming in Mexico, the crew came across a stray dog that had been badly injured—many thought the kindest thing would be to put it down.
But not John Wayne.
He stepped forward, picked the dog up gently, and said:
“If you shoot that dog, you’ll have to shoot me too.”
He took the dog to get medical care, named him Chico, and even gave him a few cameo moments in the film.
After filming wrapped, Wayne brought Chico home to the U.S.—and kept him as part of the family for the rest of the dog’s life.
A legend on screen. A hero off it."

One woman spent $200 on 40 lottery chances and landed one of the bear hunting permits for the south “Bear Harvest Zone.”

“It was worth it to me if I could save a bear's life."
