News of the Weired, Animals

Mule Credited With Saving Woman in Fire
Lou the mule is being hailed as a hero for saving the life of his owner in McMinnville, Tenn. Jolene Solomon, 63, says she stepped outside her home on New Year's Day to see why Lou was braying and saw that her house was in flames. It burned to the ground, but she and Lou are safe.

Talk about avoiding a "cat"-astrophe! In an unusual operation Dec. 9, Boston veterinarians reattached Edgar the cat's face after the feline was severely injured in an accident. The feline crawled under the hood of a car, and was likely mangled by the fan belt. The kitty should be fine.

Who was hunting who? When Randy Goodman went hunting in Sedalia, Mo., in November, he shot a deer twice. But when he got close, the buck attacked him with its antlers and hooves, knocking him to the ground. Goodman shot and permanently killed the 240-pound animal as it was running away.
