0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. It is a great time to be alive and Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Why is it such a great time? John Well, the world's tallest dog got to meet the world's shortest dog. Reginald is a great Deane and the Guinness World Record holder as the tallest dog three feet three inches tall, and Reggie towered over a four year old Pearl, the shortest dog in the world, who stands nine point one four centimeters. That's three point six inches. Now, if you're like, are they gonna get along? They did, Reggie's owner Sam says, obviously, bringing the smallest dog in the world with the tallest dog in the world, there was a little bit of anxiety.
0:47 I know, Reggie's very gentle and very very kind of Pearl as best as he could be. And then when he was done, he was done. Vanessa is Pearl's owner, and said, when Pearl meets bigger dog, she's really friendly. I think she has no idea she's a small dog. I think Reggie he was trying to be careful around here, so I think that might be the main reason he wanted to stay awake, because he was really you know, gentle with her. That's an amazing quality that talks a lot about how caring and loving he is. I think you could see through the photos and videos of the love we have for our pets. They're part of the family. Now, what's really interesting is Vanessa owned the previous shortest dog, Miracle Millie, who was nine point sixty five centimeters tall. Oh, Millie passed away in twenty twenty. But we also learned of Pearl that Pearl likes to bark in front of the various cafes until they give her some cream. She's intelligent, knows how to get noticed and get what she wants.
1:33 She has a very busy schedule and is a true diva character. Pearl hates sharing toys and food. Okay, why did it have to be snakes? We don't worry about that, Indiana Jones because a revolutionary new antidote neutralizes the venom of nineteen of the world's deadliest snakes, including the black mamba, the king cobra, and tiger snakes. Researchers used antibodies from a human donor with hyper immunity to develop the most broad effective anti venom to date. That's a real thing. I thought that only happened on Star Trek. Johnny Mack has learned how anti venom is made is not changed much over the previous hundred years. It usually involves immunizing horses or sheep with venom from a single snake species and collecting the antibodies. But then American researchers came across Tim Tim had self induced a hyperimmunity in himself. Doctor Jacob Glanville is one of the study authors and says that donor, for a period of nearly eighteen years, had undertaken hundreds of bites and self immunizations with escalating doses from sixteen species of very letal snakes that normally would kill a horse. Meanwhile, in Florida, be on the lookout.
2:40 There's a monkey on the loose. The Sullivan Ranch Neighborhood Homeowners' Association set to warning to area residents, reporting that some locals have seen a monkey. One local captured video of a monkey. Now I'm reading the article here and it tells us one resident quote captured video of a monkey while he was picking up his daughter. I assume that's the person with the camera and the monkey was not picking up the daughter. But the sentence is written a little unclear. We've also learned that monkeys are not native to Florida, but a population of Reese's monkeys have lived in the wild in the state for decades. Most of the monkeys live in and around Silver Spring State Park, love early dinners and love that there's no state tax.
3:23 Workers at the Museum of Natural History in Nova Scotia have helped a turtle walk more comfortably by building a customability aid out of Lego pieces. Root. The turtle has been at the museum since September. Staff noticed that the turtle's missing front right foot was causing his shell to drag when he walked. Heather is the museum's animal care specialist. She told CBC, because one leg is essentially shorter than the other one, we found that he was kind of clunking a shell down. There was somewhere on the shell. We didn't want it to get worse, so he needed something to lift him up. Tessa works at the museum and was inspired by a Lego exhibit at the facility and came up with a homemade solution. Tessa used a small dog harness, a Lego platform, and some Lego wheels to come up with some extra support for root the turtle's right side. Tess explains, we thought it'd be great because we know it's non toxic. We know we could replace the parts as we need, and should his shell change or grow, we can change the shape and size of that. It's very modular. When I snapped his harness on, it's like he hears that snap and he's ready to go.
4:22 And congratulations to Cooper. He is seagull boy. He has won his second consecutive title at the European Championship Goal Screeching Contest. That's right. Cooper, whose seagull screeching career began when he was bitten by a seagull, beat out seventy participants from thirteen countries. The judges analyze each contestant by criteria including your seagull call, your seagull garb, and your ability to emulate seagull behavior. Anna won the adult category donning white and yellow face paint, and an Italian group known as Gabiani Patrogiani or the Partisan Seagulls, they came in first in the colony category. You gotta love it and those are your five great news stories for today.
