Lost In The Alligator Infested Everglades

Florida - Going out on his own to hunt deer in the heart of the Everglades where he’d never been before was the “dumbest” thing he could have done, Jamey Mosch said. Mosch, 30, of North Fort Myers, recounted his fight for survival during four days he was lost in the swamp before he was rescued and hospitalized. During that time, Mosch lost most of his clothes except his underwear, plus his shotgun, cell phone and other belongings in the Big Cypress National Preserve.

Odd News - Baby whale seems to think yacht is its mother

SYDNEY, Australia - Australian media say a lost humpback whale calf has bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother.

The 1- to 2-month-old calf was first sighted Sunday in waters off north Sydney, and on Monday tried to suckle from a yacht, which it would not leave.

Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby, Australian Broadcasting Corp. and Channel 10 television news reported.

The calf appears exhausted but rescuers hope it will continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales.

"The outlook is not good, but we are giving the calf its only option. It can't be fed, and in fact we wouldn't know what to feed it" because it is not weaned, National Parks and Wildlife regional manager Chris McIntosh told ABC radio.
