A tidy mouse, teddy bears take over the ice and no the stingray didn't hook up with a shark

A tidy mouse, teddy bears take over the ice and no the stingray didn't hook up with a shark

First up is Rodney's story, who discovered a mouse is cleaning his shed at night. The second story is about Chris Farley who managed to continue his streak of running a marathon under three hours thanks to friends. The third story is Haribo's achievement in setting a new world record by creating a 353.1 sq ft mosaic using over 150,000 gummy bear candies. The fourth story talks about the fans of the American Hockey League's Hershey Bears, who set a new record throwing 74,599 stuffed animals onto the ice. The fifth story is about Charlotte the Stingray, who, despite isolation for eight years, managed to have a miracle pregnancy known as parthenogenesis.

Caloroga Shark Media. I'm Johnnie Mack
with five good news stories. Good news

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.359
for Rodney. He no longer has
to clean up his shed at night.

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:16.879
He got someone to do it.
Well, who's doing it? John?

4
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.879
It's a mouse. Ronnie is a
wildlife photographer and retired mailman, and he

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.280
noticed that stuff was moving around in
his shed at night. So he set

6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.519
up a night vision camera and discovered
that a mouse was picking up nuts,

7
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.119
bolts, corks and other items and
putting the back in the box. He

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.679
tells the BBC that ninety nine times
out of one hundred, the mouse cleans

9
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.359
up during the night. He says, the mouse seems to have fun moving

10
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.119
the objects, and he himself doesn't
bother to tidy up. Now, I

11
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.560
leave things out of the box and
the mouse puts it back in its place

12
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.159
by the morning. I think he
would tidy my wife away if I left

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.039
her in there. Why don't you
try that and see what happens. It's

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.159
good, it's a nice, healthy
relationship, right. You don't want to

15
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.679
get rid of the mouse. He's
going to clean up. Chris Farley has

16
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.880
a streak of running a marathon in
under three hours. The forty seven year

17
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.840
old thought he had broken his twenty
year old streak in November when he finished

18
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.879
the New York Marathon in just over
three hours. I was in that race.

19
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.120
I finished several hours later. Congratulations, mister Farley. His friends didn't

20
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.519
want to see him end the streak, so two friends that owned the Charm

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.760
City Run in Baltimore organized a race
jiz for him. Farley spent the last

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.920
weeks of twenty twenty three training for
the Last Chance Marathon, and on December

23
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.920
twenty seventh, Charm City staffers and
other friends and family cheered him on two

24
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.159
hours, fifty seven minutes, thirty
five seconds. Yet around two fifty seven

25
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.400
You'll find me at mile fifteen.
Candy bren Harribo broke a record when it

26
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.519
used its gold Bear gummy candies to
create a three hundred and fifty three point

27
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.920
one square foot mosaic of the company's
mascot. This was over one hundred and

28
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.040
fifty thousand gummy bears to create an
image of the mascot, Goldbear. It

29
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.359
only took four hours, but three
hundred employees accompanied by friends, family members,

30
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.760
and members of the Boys and Girls
Club. The Guinness World's Judge was

31
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.040
there and confirmed it as the largest
jelly slash gummy candy mosaic. What do

32
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.200
you do with it? What it's
done? Do you eat it? Is

33
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.599
it on a piece of wooden?
Do you frame it? I don't know

34
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.960
what you do. Speaking of bears, Teddy Bears rained down in Hershey,

35
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:16.639
Pennsylvania as the American Hockey Leagues.
Hershey Bears broke their own record. Fans

36
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.840
through seventy four, five hundred and
ninety nine stuffed animals onto the ice.

37
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.960
We couldn't find one more after the
bear scored a goal against the Lehigh Valley

38
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.599
Phantoms. This year's toss broke the
previous record from twenty twenty three, which

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.800
was only sixty seven three hundred and
nine. The Bears will go to thirty

40
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.400
five local charities. They've been doing
this since two thousand and one. Congratulations

41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:46.039
to Charlotte the sting Ray. Charlotte's
been living alone for eight years and yet

42
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.919
got pregnant. This miracle is called
parthenogenesis. It's an asexual reproduction scene in

43
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.639
birds, reptiles, amphibians, and
fish, but not mammals. You see

44
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.319
what happens when you lack any genetic
material from a male to femaless egg with

45
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.840
another cell known as a polar body. It triggers cellular division and suddenly an

46
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.120
embryo appears. The staff at North
Carolina's Aquarium and Shark Lab noticed that Charlotte

47
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.199
was getting a little big that thought
maybe she was eating too much, but

48
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.120
an ultrasound revealed that she was pregnant. Brenda is the executive director, and

49
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.400
was like, shut the back door. There's no way. Don't usually say

50
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.159
shut the front door. Is that
just a lane from Seinfeld who says that

51
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.080
we thought we were overfeeding her,
but we were overfeeding her because she has

52
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.840
more mounts to feed. The staff
pointed out it would have been impossible for

53
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.159
Charlotte to get frisky with some of
the sharks that share her tank. Yeah,

54
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.000
I would think so, I'd be
weird. They point out. Despite

55
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.400
being closely related, sharks and rays
cannot interbreed, their DNA wouldn't match up,

56
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.439
and their anatomy less, so say
no more. Katie is a graduate

57
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.479
student of the aquarium Until the ABC
in Australia, life finds a way.

58
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.280
Yes it does, and those are
good news stories for today. If you

59
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.439
enjoy the program, tell a friend
about it. They might like it too.

60
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.280
Maybe share the episode with them and
you have an awesome day.
