0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm shunning Mack with five new stories. Congratulations to an Australian woman. Her bandicoots ravaged yard was dubbed the winner of the World's Ugliest Lawn competition. Kathleen, you are the winner. The town of Gotland, Sweden, started this contest two years ago to encourage locals to conserve water. The contest went global, with lawns in the US, Canada, Britain, Germany, France and Croatia competing for unesthetic honors. Kathleen's lawn features sparse patches of yellow grass, shrivel plants, and dry divits caused by local bandicoots. She tells The Guardian. The bandicoots love digging, That's how they find a favorite food. Now my backyard looks like a real life Hungry Hungry Hippo game. She was awarded a pre owned T shirt with the phrase proud owner of the World's Ugliest lawn, I might nominate some of my neighbors.
0:57 Did I say that I'm sorry? A New Brunswick couple teamed up with some peace officers to rescue a moose. You didn't think I was gonna say moose. You thought I I was gonna say, dog, didn't you No moose that fell into a river couldn't get back out. Joline and Claude were out for a drive they spotted a moose that had fallen through the ice into a river. Jolene told the CBC when she spotted us, she tried to get up, and all she could do was slip and fall back into the ice. She couldn't get a grip. We know if we didn't help her get out, she probably wouldn't be able to make it. She posted a series of videos on Facebook showing her husband venturing out to get on the ice and putting a strap around the moose's back leg. This is like, I mean, i'd call someone. I wouldn't be like, I'll get the moose out. Joline says that moose was eventually able to stand on its own. I don't know if she knew she was being rescued and it was gonna be a happy ending for her, but she was just super calm. All right, good news feel like cicadas. Now. When I was a kid, I couldn't stand cicadas. I lived in New York City and I don't know when I was like seven, the cicada noise would driving me nuts. Now I live in the suburbs, I love it. I can't get enough cicadas.
1:55 I find them so entertaining, especially when there's like lots of them and they're all over Well. This spring both brewed. Oh I got to do Roman numerals here. Let's say night brood nineteen and brood thirteen will both emerge this spring XIX and XIII, and catch you're curious. The last time the cicada showed up at the same time in the US, Thomas Jefferson was the president. If you're in the Midwest or the southeast, they'll be more plentiful than ever, at least since the Louisiana purchase. You see, the Northern Illinois brood is on a seventeen year cycle. The Great Southern brood is on a thirteen year cycle. If you miss it this spring, it'll be another two hundred and twenty one years before that math works out again. The cicadas will start to appear in late April. They will use their fore legs to tunnel out from the earth. Their beady red eye is looking for a spot where they can peacefully finish maturing a few days is later, the mails will start buzzing trying to find a mate. Doctor Floyd Shockley from the Entomology Collections Committee at the Smithsonian great name doctor Floyd Shockley. Doctor Schlockley says the dual emergence will result in more than one trillion cicadas appearing in the roughly sixteenth state area.
3:04 Were you to put one trillion cicadas in a line end to end, it would cover fifteen million, seven hundred and eighty two eight and twenty eight miles. Now, if you're wondering how long that is, doctor Shockley tells us that cicada train would reach to the moon and back thirty three times. A four year old giraffe named Benito is at his new home and a large animal park in central Mexico. Benito was transferred following pressure from animal advocates. He had spent the last year totally alone at a dusty city park in siadad Horez. He was transferred on a crate in the back of a flatbed truck. Frank Camacho is the director of the Safari Park and says he's been alone for a long time. It's going to take a few days to introduce him to the rest of the herd. But even so, we believe this is a very stable herd and they'll accept him. It all depends on Benito how he interacts with the herd. And I'll leave you with this one. A woman was kind of surprised grandma passed away and was cremated, and the mortician said, do you want her breast implants? You didn't think I was gonna say that, did you know? You didn't think that at all. Normally, non metal materials are not removed before cremation, but the funeral home decided to take them out anyway. The woman said farewell to Grandma, and then a team member from the funeral home took her side was like, do you want the breast implants? The woman updated on TikTok and said, my aunt has them now in the box they put them in. An expert on cremation on TikTok said, if a female's breast implants, they're not removed. Eventually the body decomposes and becomes a skeleton with fake boobs. And that's your five good news stories today. Hope you enjoyed this show. This was a fun
