0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with five good news stories. This first headline confused me. It is New York City neighborhood is the first with turkey crossing signs. Now, I grew up in New York City, and I was like, what Turkey's New York City, huh. But it turns out it's on Roosevelt Island. If you're not familiar with the terrain, Manhattan is what most people think of as New York City. Just to the east of Manhattan is the East River, which isn't even a river. That's a story for another day, which separates Manhattan and Queens. In between those is a tiny place called Roosevelt Island where you can live. But Roosevelt Island is like not New York City at all in vibe anyway, Roosevelt Island will become the first neighborhood in New York City to put up turkey crossing signs and a bid to protect a turkey that has recently made the area of her home. The bright yellow signs will warn drivers and again on Roosevelt Island, you don't drive.

0:56 You kind of go across this bridge and put your car in a parking lot and you can walk the whole thing, but anyway, the yellow signs will warn drivers to keep their eyes peeled for Rosy the Turkey. Rosie the Turkey is first showed up in May. One of the locals, Judies, said, I worry because miss Turkey Rosie. She doesn't have a good sense of direction. She just walks the midll the street. She doesn't know any better. I think people realize she's a wild animal and should be respected. She should safely cross the streets of New York. Bryant is a spokesperson for Roosevet Island. He said, you know, it only took one visit for our father friend and realize Roosevelt Island is the place to be. Beautiful, green spaces, quiet streets, a friendly and welcoming community. It's no wonder why she decided to set up shop here and become a local celebrity. A student has built the world's smallest vacuum cleaner. It measures just one quarter inch at its shortest axis. To Palla spent about two hundred and thirty eight dollars transforming his pen into a vacuum. He says the tiny vacuum creates suction via a tiny rotating fan powered by a four vault vibration motor, and it picks up particles of dust that can then be emptied. Here's another one of those pets turning up after many miles and many years. Lost cat turns up two thousand miles from home after nearly three years. The Deacon Humane Society said a skinny stray cat was brought in by a member of the public. Staff members were left in disbelief when his microchip identified him as Shotto. Chotto was reported missing in Texas in January of twenty twenty two, somehow made it to Massachusetts. Shoto's owner, Carla said she was suspicious when a Massachusetts area came up on her phone.

2:28 She answered it and found out they found Shoto. She says, no one except for Shoto, we'll ever know how he got to Massachusetts, what the experience he who we met along the way. That adventure will forever remain his secret. Carla drove twenty six hours to go pick up Shoto. The shelter said, we're honored to have reunited this family after such a long time apart thanks to the amazing power of a microchip. Good news. If you're a gray wolf. You guys are coming back, baby. The last gray wolf in California was killed in nineteen twenty four. California went nearly a century without a gray wolf, but in twenty eleven, a gray wolf across the border from Oregon into California. Since then, their numbers are rising. Now they're over forty gray wolves in the state. Officials have reported a new pack of gray wolves. Wolves are a good thing. When forty one wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone, it was a benefit for plants and animals alike. Some ranchers are a little stressed, but California has a program to reimburse and help farmers. If you know, stuff happens. This is fun.

3:25 This comes up every year. Hotels dot Com revealed some of the most unusual items left behind at its hotels, including a pet lizard. The most common items left behind phone chargers and toiletries that make sense. Some unusual items left behind a rolex, a different watch worth six million dollars, oops, a car tire, an engagement ring, a tooth, two full leg casts, a pet lizard, and a chick. Hotels dot Com said the lizard and the chick were reunited with their owners what about the car tire. Nobody can about the car tire. Unusual service room requests include caviar, hot dog, fresh goat, milk, and and these are separate requests. This is not one crazy request. And four pounds of bananas and a high five from a team member to ensure their room service request was read. Dude, you are high maintenance.
