Mon, 08/03/2015 - 14:33

Officers from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) have cited two men for allegedly stealing alligator eggs and violating other regulations while in a state refuge.

According to the agency, officers stopped Paul Canik, 47, and Christopher Trahan, 24, as the two men were leaving Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge on July 16. The men were leaving the marsh on an airboat and were hauling a large number of alligator eggs, which officials discovered were taken from a restricted section of the refuge. When officers arrived to seize their 14-foot airboat and an 18-foot flatboat, they also found a cache of 523 alligator eggs…

Video Captures Incredible Shark Attack on Angler’s Fish

Mon, 08/03/2015 - 14:30

We’ve seen a lot of videos that show opportunistic sharks making quick work of an angler’s catch, but this has to be one of the most incredible. Reportedly fishing in Australian waters, these anglers could only watch as a shark attacked their fish from below and viciously pulled it from the line. The video’s poor quality makes it hard to identify the species of fish or shark involved…

Missouri Man Shoots 14-foot Python, Larger 18-footer Captured in Florida

Fri, 07/31/2015 - 15:05

Two huge Burmese pythons were caught and killed recently, one by a homeowner in Missouri’s rural Warren County, and the other by a researcher in Florida’s Shark Valley. Burmese pythons are considered to be a highly invasive species across the American Southeast, especially in Everglades National Park, where the slithery creatures have started to colonize. Experts say the snakes threaten native wildlife species like ground-nesting birds, but it seems that the reptiles also have an appetite for domestic animals as well…

Houston police catch cobra at high-rise apartment complex

Thu, 07/30/2015 - 12:47

HOUSTON (AP) — An aggressive 2-foot-long cobra captured at a luxury high-rise apartment complex in Houston has been euthanized.

A licensed pest control company official said Thursday that the albino monocled cobra was very dangerous. Josie Moss with A All Animal Control in Houston says the snake’s venom can be deadly.

Houston police were summoned to the complex Saturday when some residents spotted the snake on the third floor. Police used a broom to corner and capture the cobra.

Authorities aren’t sure how the snake, which is native to Southeast Asia, ended up in the building or who owned it.

Moss says her company tried to find a home for the snake before euthanizing it, but didn’t find a lot of people interested due to the reptile’s aggression.

Nobody was hurt.
