0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Off the coast of Costa Rica, fishermen pulled in an orange shark. Yes, I said, orange shark. The fisherman caught something. Whatever it was, it was feisty. It took them half an hour to pull it to the surface. One of the fishermen, Garvins, said, we saw an orange globe below the water, and I said, what is this. The six foot nurse shark, which is mostly docile and their snouts have a hint of catfish to them, was orange. Researchers think it could be the first recorded case of an orange shark. Green biologist Daniel Naranjo Wait, his last name is Narnjo. No way. Now, despite my flawless accent, you may not know that naranjo translates to orange tree. Neuronja is the fruit, but nonjo is an orange tree the plant itself. I just found and that pretty coincidental there anyway. Mister Dermronjo, a marine biologist, said, I saw the photos. I was impressed. I was like, wow, this is something strange. He and his colleagues concluded the nurse shark's odd pigmentation, including the intense yellow orange on its body. Its ghostly white eyes with no visible iris, might be the result of two rare genetic conditions taking place at the same time, albinism and xanthism. Zan with an x. I'm not familiar with xanthism, but apparently it causes an excess of yellow pigments. The fishermen did let the shark go. They kissed its back, and they said

1:34 to the shark, thank you for making the strip such a happy experience. Thank you for being here at the exact right moment by my boat, Thank you for taking my bait. Thank you, We love you. A shopper was at a local charity shop, saw a jacket, was like, hey, this looks pretty cool. Went through the pockets and found a piece of paper. Posted on Reddit, found this in a pocket. Anyone know what it means? What it might have been there? The piece of paper was covered in Chinese characters. The Reddit poster said, I translated it online. The translation wasn't great, so it doesn't make sense. According to one user, it says, I want to have a boyfriend who loves me in a lot, cherishes me, and is very generous to me. He is very handsome and is above five to nine tall. I will feel very secure when I'm with him. I will be extremely lucky.

2:16 Praise the universe. I will meet such a man in November of twenty twenty three. Please yes, it was a stranger's boyfriend spell. Another Reddit poster said it's a Chinese New Year tradition. Often these are folded up, pretty and burnt, but this one wasn't. Another asked how much of the description matches you. Would it be funny if the manifesting spell worked on the jacket itself. I don't have the answer. I don't know how tall the new possessor of the jacket is, and I don't know if the original poster met their true love. But I like the story. Let's keep it weird. Today, in South Carolina, a mysterious sailboat It just washed up on the shore. A local said, this is a little unusual. I lived out here most of my life. I've never seen a sailboat dis close and washed up on the shore like this. Some witnesses said they saw it floating in the ocean hours before it became ashore. A salvage company was contacted. The US Coast Guard said they'll let us know more when they know more. Pretty cool looking sailboat and the owner is accounted for a mystery. Is that good news? John? I don't know, but I'll tell you what I've had it with these snakes on this train. Firefighters in a Chicago suburb were called to a commuter train to help capture a python that got loose for its owner and slithered into a control box panel. The Oak Park Fire Department said firefighters responded to a CTA Green Line train for assistance in securing a petball python snake Lucius. The snake had gotten away from its owner went into the control box.

3:43 The fire department said, we were able to open the box, secure the snake and returned Lucius to a very appreciative pirate his owner. In England, in the Flamingo habitat at the Zoo, they found an otter. The otter is named Mingo, only a few months old. Zoo officials found the otter snoring peacefully. They explained, Mingo was found early in the morning, curled up on the bank of the main lake out and they open fastest leap, snoring his head off. We gave him a few hours to see if mom, the otter would reappear. Knowing otters, it's odd behavior to see you pop out in the open like that. He seemed very strong and was very vocal when awake. One of the staffers at the zoo said were still baffled as to how Mingo ended up in the flamingo habitat. It's a total mystery. Those are your five good news stories for today.
