Not A Gator

0:03 Calorogas shark media. Whoa good news It's not a ten foot alligator running around the neighborhood. High I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories you see. In Granite Falls, Washington, there were reports of a ten foot alligator on the loose. Relax, it's not an alligator, police investigated, it was just somebody's lizard. The Snawhomish County Sheriff's Office had issued an alert on social media with a greeny photo of a reptile that was identified as a ten foot alligator was seen heading towards the Pilchuck River. THEPD speculated on Facebook that the animal might be a crocodile. No, wait, did you think it was an alligator or a crocodile, because there's like a difference, right. Alligators are dark colored with a broad, rounded snout and usually found in freshwater. Crocodiles are grayish green and prefer coastal, brackish and saltwater habitats. Now'd be fair Snowhomish County does seem to be on the water there, so I guess it could have been a saltwater crocodile. Anyway, it's a lizard. Local resident Shanna saw the photo on social media and quickly realized wasn't a croc, not an alligator.

1:13 She wrote on Facebook, I think that's Tess, her lizard. I just checked his enclosure. He's not there. He's friendly to people and very loved, not dangerous. A search was launched for Tess, who, by the way, isn't ten feet long either. The Granite Falls Police Department updated its post to confirm Tess had been safely returned home. Good job by Chief Wigham and the rest of the PD out there. Meanwhile, in Florida, the Walton County Sheriff's offices reminding residents to steer clear of bears. Members of the public were seen trying to snap selfies with a quote depressed bear at the side of the highway. Not a good idea. As I record this today, there was a bear sighting on my block. I went out for a run. When I was out for the run, I saw my wife walking the dog. Said hi to my wife, continued my run, ran four miles, came home an hour later. She texted me, oh, by the way, when you're out for the run, you know those people in the corner. Yeah, there was a bear in the woods. Thanks for telling me. The Walton County Sheriff's Office said the bear was spotted on the north side of Highway ninety eight near County Road eighty three.

2:14 You know the spot, The post said. Famous last words. If not friend, why friend shaped? Because this black bear is stressed. A depressed lemon zest doesn't seem like a very official post. The Sheriff's office post added, the bear's clearly not in the mood for pictures. The bear has shown signs of severe stress. A representative from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission had responded to the scene, but the bear had wandered back into the woods. Officials remind you please do not approach black bears at any time. Nice job by a family owned restaurant in the Bronx at New York. They've been distributing over five hundred free meals a day to recently arrived immigrants. Natalie and Antonio were immigrants themselves. In nineteen ninety two, they rented a space in the Bronx. They opened a restaurant, La Morata.

2:58 During the pandemic, they started to make king root soup based on beats, carrots, potatoes, and anything else that grows underground. On the first day, the free soup meals were gone in an hour. Eventually they were making upwards of eight hundred meals a day, distributing five thousand in a week. The concept stuck. In addition to standard menu items including and Gelata's tacos, stuffed Chili's, nachosen more, Lamarada gives out more than five hundred meals for free every day to newly arrived immigrants in the city. Nasalia calls herself the mother to all those who were hungry. Good news, Gizmo the Chihuahua is back after nine years. Gizmo escaped from a backyard in the southwest Valley of Las Vegas as a young puppy. Gizmo was recently discovered and identified through his micro chip Always good to chip your dogs, My dogs are chipped. The dog's owner, Junith, received an unexpected email informing her of the discovery. She went to the Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson and the vets confirmed it's Gizmo. Judas says, they told me a lady, a good samaritan. It was a woman who dropped him off.

3:55 They said. The woman spent two months trying to catch him. She wanted him back afterward, but they told her she could them because he had a microchip you scan, and we were looking for him. So it's kind of interesting something I thought would have happened years ago. Gizmo is now eleven years old. Wonder what he's been doing all this time. That stuff's always amazing. And Johnny Mack, you haven't mentioned a Guinness record this week. Oh don't worry, I've got one. An Australian man pulled on multiple pairs of underpants. He was attempting to break his own Guinness World record for most pair of underpants pulled on in thirty seconds. He pulled on more than twenty pairs, but did not manage to beat the existing record of twenty three pairs. Luckily for him, that's his record too. He set that one in July of twenty twenty three. However, there is good news. He did manage to break the record for most people gathered in one place while wearing underwear on their heads. That record now stands at one twenty six people. I feel like if he put some effort into that one, you could break that one. Manning also holds Guinness World records for a fast It's time to put on ten pairs of underpants thirteen point zero three seconds and most underpants on in one minute. He did all this on America's Got Talent. He was eliminated.
