Hello and welcome back ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we have a great post about
At 7.67 meters (25' 2") long, Medusa, a Reticulated Python owned by Full Moon Productions in Kansas City, Missouri, is the longest snake ever kept in captivity. The 8-year-old, 158.8 k (350 lb) reptile is primarily kept coiled up in a nook in a haunted house attraction (The Edge of Hell) with its cavernous turn-of-the-century brick warehouse. Medusa's primary diet consists of a combination of rabbits, hogs, and deer served to her every two weeks.
It took five men to bring the errant animal to the rescue center. The poor sheep who was nicknamed "Chris" could barely walk under what appeared to be at least seven years of fleece growth. RSPCA officials knew that to ensure the animal's well-being, they should relieve him of his thick coat as soon as possible. That's because Chris could be harboring some serious infections under the wool and it could also be impeding his need to go to the bathroom.
The world records of Animals
Longest Human Tunnel Traversed By A Skateboarding Dog
An English Bulldog named Otto set a new world record for the “longest human tunnel travelled through by a skateboarding dog.” Otto, we salute you! The 3-year-old pooch valiantly skated through the legs of 30 humans, who all faced the same direction and stood with their feet apart to allow Otto to pass freely through without being led or touched.

On September 2nd, Canberra's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) received news of a woolly creature roaming around in the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve on the outskirts of the city. When the officials arrived to investigate, they discovered a barely visible ram buried under a giant ball of beautiful merino wool.
It took five men to bring the errant animal to the rescue center. The poor sheep who was nicknamed "Chris" could barely walk under what appeared to be at least seven years of fleece growth. RSPCA officials knew that to ensure the animal's well-being, they should relieve him of his thick coat as soon as possible. That's because Chris could be harboring some serious infections under the wool and it could also be impeding his need to go to the bathroom.
However, the shearing had to be approached carefully. That's because Chris had not been subjected to it for many years and just the process could lead to shock and death. To minimize his trauma, the rescuers decided to mildly sedate the animal. They also enlisted the help of experienced shearer Ian Elkins for the job.
The Canberra resident who has over 35 years of experience and been named "Australian Shearer of the Year" six times, said he had never seen anything like this before. It took the expert and his team of five almost 42 minutes to peel off the 40.45 kilograms of wool - the equivalent of about 30 sweaters
I hoped you liked this post and felt sorry for chris and as always have a chilled day from thee Viking.
