A man brings his turkey to the dentist

0:02 The Shark Deck. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Dave loves his turkey. No, not for lunch, it's his friend. He even brings the turkey to the dentist. Dave insists that the turkey is always very well behaved. Locals get confused when they're at a traffic light and they look over at the car next to them. You know you do that. Sometimes She's like, I wonder IF's sitting next to me. Oh, it's a guy with a turkey. Dave brings the turkey to the pub, where the turkey has cheese and onion crisps. Dave loves the turkey so much that he stopped eating turkey. Dave says, she's like my child. There's a mutual bond. She's good company and entertaining. Sometimes I even think she's part human. So you're wondering, all right, how did this all start?

0:46 Because I was curious too, like, how do you even get a turkey? Well, Dave was raising turkeys for their eggs, and one day this turkey's mother was sitting on a dozen eggs and the weather turned off all the first two that hatch died, so he was able to help the other eggs, but this one was the first one out, and I fed her for ten or eleven hours. She was on her own with me checking her out, and she must have thought I was her parent. The other turkeys went back underneath the mother quite easily, but not Tea Too. Is the name of the turkey ever since. She literally goes everywhere with me. I was at the dentist recently and I asked the receptionist if she could turkey sit for me. She thought it was a joke, but then I brought Tea two in. They all loved it. Most people think it's really strange, but it's actually a really good talking point. I agree on all that.

1:29 A seven year old girl had an awesome birthday. She found a two point ninety five carrot diamond on a hike in Arkansas. She was in Diamonds State Park. Well, that seems like a place where you might find a diamond. Diamond State Park is located on the site of an extinct diamond volcano. The diamond is about the size of a green pea. It's golden brown in color. Her dad said. The girl got hot and wanted to sit down for a minute, so she walked over to some big rocks by a fence. Next thing I know, she was running to me saying, dad, I found one. It's the second largest diamond found in the park this year, in case you're curious, might go from anywhere from twelve thousand to fifty thousand dollars. Happy birthday. There good news. If you're a Tasmanian tiger specimen. You're probably not listening because a tigers don't usually listen to podcasts and b you guys are extinct. But a team of Scandinavian researchers has recovered a messenger and micro RNA from a Tasmanian tiger specimen kept in a museum collection.

2:23 They've been extinct for one hundred and thirty years, but scientists are excited about the potential of bringing them back from the dead. It would immediately solve many problems facing the balance of the Tasmanian ecosystem, without the complexities of trying to replace the apex predator role with a non native animal. A scientist said, resurrecting the Tasmanian tiger, or the wooly mammoth for that matter, is not a trivial task and will require a deep knowledge of both the genome and transcriptome regulation of such renowned species. Good news. At the Oklahoma City Zoo, a clouded leopard mother named Rukai gave birth to a kitten. Clouded leopards are native to South and Southeast Asia, but have disappeared entirely from several nations like Vietnam and Taiwan. Clouded leopards have incredible dexterity. They can climb down trees headfirst and are able to hang from tree branches by bending their hind paws and tail around a tree limb. They can climb onto horizontal branches while hanging with their back to the ground like a monkey. Nice job by a skydiver in the UK he landed on an inflatable unicorn pool toy. Jan Zachel was among a handful of skydivers who participate an event who tried to land on the inflatable unicorn, which looks like it would normally be floating on a pool. See if you want to press me land on a unicorn floating in a pool, don't just put it on the ground. Hannah Parker of skydive Laninger was on the scene and told the BBC it's safe and it's just more of a slippery landing. It was only open to people who had done at least two hundred jumps previously. Those are the requirements. It goes very fast, it takes

3:55 a lot of accuracy. The unicorn was placed on a slip and slope style platform. The video shows zackal coming in at high speed before making a turn and lining up with the unicorn, and he added it on Facebook that making the perfect landing feels pretty darn good.
