Bulls, Cows, and Bears, oh my!
Some crazy things happened in December. From bulls taking a stroll, to mysterious mutilated cows, to fat bear season in Alaska, here’s some weird news.
The first story is about a 1,600 pound bull that decided to leave its trailer to explore for three hours. The bull stopped by a grassy plane next to Coppin State University.
The Maryland Zoo was called in and got the bull down after three rounds of tranquilizers.
"They could've shot that bull two hours ago and been done with it," Scott Barao, owner of the bull, said to The Baltimore Sun. “He's extremely valuable to us and we're just glad to have him alive,"
The bull is quite the adventure seeker, but what about those that seek the unknown? Especially about mysteriously mutilated cows in Oregon.
Five cows were drained of blood with body parts removed. The carcasses even stopped the crows from squawking at the sight.
The eerie area was elevated more so with this fact, none of the cows had been attacked by any creatures.
Many have claimed the deaths to be from creatures in outer space.
"A lot of people lean toward the aliens," said Harney County Sheriff's Deputy Dan Jenkins. "One caller had told us to look for basically a depression under the carcass. 'Cause he said that the alien ships will kinda beam the cow up and do whatever they are going to do with it. Then they just drop them from a great height,"
It wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, but it was Terry Anderson’s cows. He claimed that whatever you do has to leave tracks, but he found none with his cows.
"It's just left a really strange feeling with me since that day. You can't explain it," Anderson said. "And, you know, no one else has been able to explain it,"
Though the theory about the aliens has affected those who have the conspiracy about the space creatures. In Alaska, the aliens haven’t seemed to hurt their Fat Bear Brackets.
When the bears get ready for the winter season, it becomes March Madness but, it’s in October.
The Katmai National Park & Reserve have 2,000 bears on their acres of land.
Every year when the creatures go into hibernation, getting fatter for the winter time, people go online and pull up the park's Facebook page to randomly select who will be the fattest of them all.
Bear Number 747 is the largest of them all according to the article, and everyone has their eyes on him.
"He was so big he looked like he was ready to hibernate in July. He's the size of two bears," media ranger Naomi Boak said.
When October rolls around next year, go on the park’s page and vote for who you believe is most likely to win. Who you believe is the fattest of them all.
This isn't fat shaming, it is fat glorifying as the biggest bear has done the best job getting ready,” Boak said.
Hopefully no more wild bulls will go off on a trip, or any cows who will be abducted by aliens for a while.
