The Dallas-area influencer who had her spider monkey taken from her Saturday after a drunk driving crash is under investigation after the monkey was determined to be malnourished, officials said Friday. Brandi Botello's spider monkey, named Jorgie Boy, was taken from her following the crash in which Dallas police arrested the driver on a charge of driving while intoxicated. She told the station she was drunk and asleep in the passenger seat while holding Jorgie Boy when the crash happened. Jorgie Boy is the size of a 1-year-old monkey even though he will turn 3 in February. It might take over a year to get Jorgie Boy to a point where he is strong enough to play with other monkeys again, Johns said.

The zebra was one of four that escaped on April 28 from a trailer near North Bend in Washington state, Regional Animal Services of King County said in a media release. While the other three zebras were captured within a few hours, a mare remained on the loose. The mare “was safely rescued on Friday evening in the Riverbend neighborhood after being on the run for nearly six days,” animal services said. Shug’s owner reportedly had stopped just off Interstate 90 in the North Bend area to fix an issue with the trailer when the animals escaped, animal services said. The zebra’s days-long escape spawned memes and jokes, with local government agencies pitching in with edited images of the zebra around the state.

Vorbim despre un câine fără stăpân din Statele Unite, care a furat de cinci ori o jucărie din pluș în formă de unicorn, dintr-un magazin din Kenansville, un orășel din Carolina de Nord. Doar că agenta care a venit să aresteze infractorul recidivist a fost atât de fermecată de hoțul patruped, încât i-a cumpărat jucăria înainte de a-l aduce la adăpost. Acolo, hoțul vagabond s-a acomodat imediat, încântat că-l are alături de el pe prietenul unicorn. Botezat Sisu, simpaticul cățel a devenit rapid celebru pe pagina de internet a adăpostului, de unde a și fost adoptat a doua zi și a plecat spre noua lui casă, împreună cu unicornul din pluș.
