Monkey Mischief and Elk Rescues

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Hey, good news. We figured out who triggered the alarm. Now there was a thief involved, but this is not your typical story. Teams from a security group in South Africa responded to a home where a panic alarm had been triggered by a monkey that had stolen the homeowner's security remote. The security company posted on social media that under the impression of the client must have been under distress. Several units were immediately dispatched to the home. Upon the first team's arrival, to client informed them that a monkey had gotten another home and after remote containing the petic button. They added, in an unusual turn of events, the client opted not to have our teams chase down the monkey and let them get away with the loot. Meanwhile, in Scotchtown, New York, they thought it was an old baseball.

0:53 It was not an old baseball. It was a tooth of a mastodon. Doctor Harris was going about his business in walks a married couple. They're carrying a cardboard box. They were excited to open it and show doctor Harris what was inside. Harris is an archaeologist and says more often than not, it's just a weird rock. You disappointed people because they thought it was something really cool and it's not. And they opened the box and it was too yellow teeth from a mastodon. Doctor Harris was quite excited. He said, I was crazy excited. It was the same old school excitement I felt when I got into this field in the first place. The couple discovered the mastodon jaw when something was poking out of the grass in their backyard. At first they thought it was a baseball, not a baseball. The mastodon went extinct in North America about ten thousand years ago. Pretty cool, well not for the mesdon you know me? And cool story, you know what I'm trying to say. Look, I didn't kill the maston.

1:41 Leave me alone. Now the world's largest hornet dubbed the murder hornet. Bad news for them. They're not going to like today's episode at all. Neither of the mastodon. The murder hornets have been eradicated in the US five years after being spotted for the first time in Washington State. Savin Spickager is a past program manager at the Washington State Department of agric Culture, and in a news conference he said, I gotta tell you, as an entomologist, I've been doing this for over twenty five years now. It's a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects. Murder hornets can be two inches long. They gained attention to twenty thirteen when they killed the forty two people in China and seriously injured over sixteen hundred. Scientists will remain on the lookout despite reporting the eradication. Meanwhile, the British Coast Guard have responded to a person shaped object in the water. You would assume the person shaped object would be a person. Nope, it was a training dummy.

2:30 The HM Coastguard Fleetwood set. A crew was called out to Cove Cafe where witness reported seeing something human like in the water. Coast Guard showed up. They said the object was suspiciously person shape, but clearly not a person. Upon closer inspection of a video taken by the informant, we immediately recognized it as the type of dummy used for man overboard drills. The coast Guard did retrieve the fake victim to prevent the dummy from causing more concern and confusion as it drifted up the shoreline and good news there were a bull elk. Wildlife officials and several climbers rescued the bull elk by lowering it down a cliff. After the bull elk had become entangled in a rope out of popular ice climbing area in Colorado, some ice climbers had found the elk. A biologist darted the elk with a tranquilizer and covered part of its head with a ski mask to protect its eyes. During the rescue, the team cut the rope away from the elk's antlers and then had to find a way to get the seven hundred pound elk down from the climbing wall. That's when the ice climbers helped. They helped the wildlife officers rica system that used two ropes, one under the elk's chest and another along its antlers to lower it to the base of the route. Once the elk was on level ground, the wildlife team reversed the effects of the tranquilizer, and about twelve minutes later, the elk woke up and ran away. Apparently, elk sometimes get their antlers entangled in man made hazards such as clotheslines, fencing, and hammocks Happy the elk cut out of this one, And those are your five good news stories for today again, unless you're a murder hornet and possibly amassed it on. Sorry guys, everybody else have a great day.
