A routine flight training session at the Minnesota Zoo turned tragic when a Eurasian eagle owl escaped its handler and landed in a tiger enclosure, where it was killed by one of the tigers, according to a U.S. Agriculture Department inspection report and zoo officials. The incident occurred on April 29 during a bird show training session at the zoo in Apple Valley, a suburb of the Twin Cities. The owl, which was in the early stages of its training, failed to return to its handler and instead flew into an outdoor enclosure housing tigers. The tiger in the enclosure preyed upon the owl before zoo staff could intervene, the inspection report stated.

The clock starts ticking as soon as you open your cat’s can of food. Feline wet food will grow bacteria, accumulate bacterial toxins, and spoil much faster than dry food.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
