He's been doing this for the last ten years or so. He shows up, takes a walk, and nobody knows who he is. Commenters on Reddit call him the thunder snow Chicken.

Resident Faith said, I thought you were talking about a small chicken.

0:45 Scientists have found the world's oldest platypus, a twenty three year old platypus found in a creek in Australia. Scientists found the male platypus in an area that had experienced nearly seven years of drought. Jeff Williams is a biologist at the austral Million Platypus a conservancy, who said, we're now getting a better idea of how they can live reasonable ages if the conditions are right. So I was curious here, how do you know how old he is? With the article tells it's the age of an adult platypus is difficult to tell when they're young, changes to their bodies and more noticeable. Scientists knew the age of this platypus because they had given it a tag way back in two thousand, when they determined it was about twelve and a half months old. Wow, this is actually the oldest platypus in the wild. The oldest known platypus recently turned thirty in a zoo in rural Victoria. The platypus has been living near a man made reservoir that's applied water to a local community in a suburb south of Melbourne, giving it a refuge during those long dry spells. Good job, platypus. A British woman who's reunited with her lost cat after seven years. The cat was found it'll be living in a factory three hundred yards from the house. Duke the cat didn't come home one day in twenty seventeen, Stephanie gave up after a few months. She was shocked when the vet showed up at her door and said, Hey, did you ever own a cat named Duke?

Rain or Shine Lands Corporal Harold Jones circles his garden thirty times every day in a matter of the weather, and has been doing so since twenty twenty. So far, he's taken his walker six hundred and sixty one miles equating to forty one thousand plus laps around his garden. He served on the British Army from nineteen forty two until forty seven.

Scientists have discovered a biological mechanism of hearing loss caused by loud noise, which helped them find a way to prevent it.

3:15 Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have discovered hearing loss stems from cellular damage in the inner ear that's associated with the excess of free floating zinc. Their experiments show the drugs that work as molecular sponges trapping excess zinc and help restore lost hearing. That's awesome. They tested this in some mice and they found that hours after mice are exposed to loud noise, their inner ear zinc level spikes, which ultimately leads to cellular damage and disrupts normal cell to cell communication. However, mice that were treated with a slow releasing compound that trapped excess free zinc were less prone to hearing loss. And I'm not sure this is good news, but it'll probably maybe possibly make you laugh. Some passengers were on a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, suddenly maggots rained down.
