Man goes for beer, finds Carpet python under fridge

PYTHON

Dennis of Australia encountered a roughly seven-foot Carpet python when he went to grab a beer from his bar fridge.

Reptile specialist Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 came to the rescue in order to capture the large snake so that Dennis could have his beer.

Mullet Mick and Adele of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 arrived onto the scene and wrangled up the Carpet python in a video posted to the company’s Facebook page on Tuesday.

The duo then set the snake free into the wilderness. The carpet python had leaped out of the bag it was placed in as it was eager to be free.

Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 previously helped an Australian family catch one of the world’s most venomous snakes from their swimming pool in February.

March 10 (UPI) — The crew of a New Hampshire fishing boat was dredging for scallops when they pulled up something unexpected: a 12,000-year-old woolly mammoth tooth.

The Portsmouth-based crew, known as the New England Fishmongers, said the 11-inch-long tooth was found off the coast of Newburyport, Mass. Advertisement

Tim Rider, captain and co-owner of the New England Fishmongers, took the 7-pound item to the University of New Hampshire, where experts identified it.

“I always love thinking about the landscape in New England,” UNH Geology Professor Will Clyde told NBC Boston. “With mammoths and mastodons walking around, and in terms of geological times, that wasn’t that long ago.”

Rider said he has decided to auction the tooth on eBay and donate the proceeds to World Central Kitchen, a charity working to provide hot meals to refugees from the violence in Ukraine.

“I’m a fisherman, but anytime you see families and children struggling in that type of situation, you really try to be thankful for what you have and do what you can to help,” Rider told Seacoastonline.
