Lion wandering city streets in Pakistan

A gang of miscreants attempting to smuggle a lion through a Pakistani city saw their plan go up in smoke when the big cat escaped from their vehicle and wound up roaming the streets. The bizarre incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday evening during rush hour in Karachi. The normally bustling traffic in the city came to a screeching halt when motorists realized that they were sharing the streets with an out-of-place lion that had appeared out of nowhere. As one might imagine, the presence of the big cat sparked something of a panic among residents as one man was nearly attacked by the creature.

The lion managed to evade capture for approximately two hours until wildlife officials were able to drive the animal into a building where they finally subdued the beast. A subsequent investigation by police led them to five individuals who they determined had been responsible for the big cat being in Karachi that day. When questioned, they claimed that the creature was sick and that they were transporting it to a veterinarian when it somehow escaped from their truck. However, their alibi fell apart when cops noticed that their vehicle contained a distinctly different animal which cast considerable doubt upon their tale: an old tortoise.

The fact that the gang had been driving around Karachi with both a lion and a very large turtle in their truck led authorities to surmise that the men were in the midst of a smuggling scheme that went wildly awry when the big cat busted loose. Their assessment of the situation was seemingly confirmed when one of the suspected smugglers declared to authorities that “we do not want the lion. It can be handed over to anyone.” The big cat and its unlikely turtle companion have since been sent to the Karachi Zoo for safekeeping until wildlife officials determine how best to release them into the wild. The would-be smugglers, meanwhile, will likely be hit with significant fines if not jail time for the wild misadventure.

Incredibly Rare Spotless Giraffe Born at Tennessee Zoo

Aside Markozen.com Animals, Bizarre

An incredibly rare spotless giraffe was recently born at a zoo in Tennessee and the wondrous creature is believed to be the only one of its kind in the world. The remarkable animal was reportedly born in late July at Bright’s Zoo in the city of Limestone. In announcing the peculiar creature’s arrival on Monday, they marveled that “giraffe experts believe she is the only solid-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet.” The zoo’s founder, Tony Bright, recalled that the animal’s uniqueness was apparent from the moment of its birth as it clearly sported a coat of brown fur rather than the characteristic pattern of spots seen on nearly every other creature of its kind.

Following the arrival of the surprising-looking animal, zoo director David Bright said they began contacting other facilities “all over the country” to gauge just how unusual the creature might be and the response that they repeatedly received from seasoned professionals was that nobody had seen such a giraffe before. In fact, the only other record of a spotless version of the animal born in captivity occurred at a Japanese zoo in the 1970s. The zoo also performed blood work on the creature to ascertain if there might be some kind of illness that caused her curious condition, but the results indicated that it was perfectly healthy and no different from another giraffe that had been born at the facility a few weeks earlier.

Now standing a whopping six-feet-tall after just a few weeks, the spotless giraffe has seemingly seamlessly adjusted to life within her herd as the zoo indicated that the creature is “thriving.” The circumstances surrounding the animal’s birth are actually rather fortuitous, Tony Bright mused, as “in the wild, they use those spots for camouflage.” so the creature would have faced something of a perilous life had it been born in the wild. The zoo has yet to settle on a name for the animal and have opened up the process to the public by way of a vote on their Facebook page wherein people can choose among the four options of Kipekee, Firyali, Shakiri, and Jamella with the winner being announced on Labor Day.
