Those Whacky Animals!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Scientists are mystified at the carcass of a young beluga whale found in a river in central Alaska, nearly 1,000 miles from its natural ocean habitat. The first guess is the 8-foot-long whale, which often feed on fish in estuaries and the mouths of rivers, swam away from the ocean in search of food. "What are the alternatives?" asked Link Olson, curator of the University of Alaska Museum of the North.

Mystified? One alternative is that the whale is a dumb ass. Have you ever seen a homeless person wandering the streets in search of food? Of course you have. Why is it so hard to believe that a whale could be demented enough to not understand where he is? C'mon Link, think outside the box.

Meanwhile ... cats are going nuts...

When the bear climbed down, the cat chased it up another nearby tree. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat. The cat's owners called it away and the bear ran off. (AP Photo/Suzanne Giovanetti).

Now that Jack the Cat is finished with his bear chasing duties, I have another job for him. Find this grey-haired jackass and chase him up a tree...
