Arrested Croc

German police were called to make an unusual arrest, seizing a crocodile peacefully going about its business on the streets of the small town of Gross-Rohrheim.Police received a call at around 2am from a worried resident swearing there was a crocodile in the street. Initially suspicious of a hoax, police who went to investigate were surprised to find that the reports were accurate.
"It is true that the officers were not especially well trained to catch crocodiles, but they were gutsy," police said in a statement.
"With a great deal of finesse – according to the officers' report – they managed to outsmart the reptile, temporarily bind up its jaws and take it into police custody," added the statement.
Suspicion quickly fell on a small circus that was visiting the town at the time. Police took the offending crocodile back to the circus and its grateful owners

Circus pig

This pig can get an entry to a circus anytime. Gwen Howell discovered her pet's hidden talent after leaving her on the family's trampoline in their garden. Scarlet, a Hungarian mangalitza, loves bouncing around the orchard of her home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Howell, 46, an estate agent, said the piglet took over the hobby from their other pet pig Percy after he got too fat. She and husband Steve, 43, had placed Percy, who is also Scarlet's father, on their eight year-old daughter Alex's trampoline several months ago when they discovered its unique circus skills.
