The Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust said 5,583 votes were cast for Fish of the Year 2025, a sharp increase from 1,021 in 2024.

Deputies cornered the duck to keep her from being injured by the razor wire on the perimeter fence.

"She could not tell us where she came from or how she got here, but we did notice she had an injured foot," the post said. "We were able to call for backup and after a lengthy standoff involving two agencies, we were able to take her into custody."

Polk County Animal Control assisted with the capture of the jail trespasser.

The ducked, dubbed Bernice, was transported to a new home on Derek Tilley's farm, the sheriff's office said.

Goldin said the Cheeto was discovered and preserved by sports memorabilia company 1st & Goal Collectibles sometime between 2018 and 2022. Images of the snack went viral on social media in 2024.

"OK, this is a $19 strawberry from Erewhon, so we're gonna eat it," Antoci says in the video. "Apparently it's like the best-tasting strawberry in the entire world."

The influencer declares the snack to be the "best strawberry I've ever had in my life."

Photos from the scene show rescuers climbing into the small crawlspace under the house to reach the well where the canine was trapped.

The post said the dog was "shaken, but unharmed."

"We are beyond grateful to these everyday heroes for not only saving the dog's life, but to one of his rescuers that has chosen to adopt him in the case an owner can not be located," the post said.

"The hardest part wasn't just the juggling or the balancing -- it was the combination of both, along with the added challenge of the bowling ball's weight and the board's instability," Rush wrote online.

Rush said there was an added challenge of not being able to use the balance board he practiced with, as it was too large for easy travel.

"Every time I caught the bowling ball, the board would slide across the rolling rock or the floor, creating a super slippery surface. It felt like I was juggling on ice," he said.

Despite the challenges, Rush managed to set the record with 243 catches.

New rules took effect in 2019 banning raccoon dogs from being bred or sold in Britain. Raccoon dogs that were already being kept as pets when the rules went into place were allowed to remain.

The RSPCA said the animals are considered invasive and could pose a danger to native wildlife.

Natural Resources Wales is asking members of the public to report any sightings and warning residents not to approach the animal if spotted.

"Following advice from the National Weather Service and in consultation with local public officials, we must make the safest decision for our fans, artists, and staff, and cancel tomorrow's Lovers & Friends Festival," the message continued. "This was an incredibly heartbreaking decision to make as we are aware that fans have traveled from all over the world to enjoy this incredible lineup of superstars and have been looking forward to this event for several months. We've worked hard to create an amazing event for you, and we are just as disappointed as you are."

She matched all five numbers: 2-9-4-2-3.

Berland's beginner's luck earned her a $50,000 prize. She said she will use her winnings to help pay for her sister's college tuition.

The ticket, purchased 10 weeks after her previous win, earned her another $1 million prize.

Wilson said she spent some of the winnings from her first ticket on a new SUV. She said her latest prize will go into savings.

The goatee, like the rest of the passenger, was made of plastic.

"The driver was subsequently issued a citation for multiple carpool violations," the post said.

Other out-of-place items found among the sewage included wallets, keys, cutlery and car tires.

Grant Mitchell, head of sewer blockages for Severn Trent, said its "anyone's guess" how some of the larger items came to be in the sewer, but "it makes the job pretty entertaining for everyone."

"Although we see items like this at times, the thing we see the most that cause blockages are wet wipes and other 'unflushable' items such as nappies and sanitary products. We would urge everyone to keep in mind that only the three P's should be put down the toilet -- pee, poo and paper -- and bin everything else," he said.

They searched the neighborhood, put up flyers and posted notices on Facebook lost pet pages in Lehi, Utah.

“Not knowing what had happened to her was pretty excruciating,” Clark said, “I cried my eyes out for seven days trying to figure out what had happened.” Clark also ran through all the worst-case scenarios, wondering if the cat could have gotten out of the house and been nabbed by a predator or run over by a vehicle.

Clark’s husband had ordered several pairs of boots, kept one and returned the rest in a large box on April 10.

“We realized that that our sweet kitty must have jumped into that box without us knowing,” she said.

"I was stunned," he said. "At first I saw the jackpot went back down to $100,000 so I knew someone hit it. I had no idea it was me."

"He was hollering so much it scared the cat," his wife, Cherie, said.

After taxes, he took home $598,591. He said he plans to donate some of the money to his church and pay bills.

They opted to call in Matt Hilton, branch manager at the local Blue Sky Pest Control office.

One of those fans sported a custom T-shirt, which he wrote on to keep track of his consumed hot dog and beer tally. The shirt read "bad day to be a glizzy" -- referring to the nickname for a hot dog.

The man also wore a hot dog hat, in honor of the frank feast.

Mets officials did not respond to a request for comment about the incident.

Several fans who claimed to be at the game said they were also hit by hot dogs and that the tosses could be seen from the other side of the stadium. The man who was removed from the stadium was later seen riding on a subway train, while still wearing his hot dog hat.

In Europe, concerns over tourists overcrowding historic cities led Venice last week to launch a pilot program to charge day-trippers a 5-euro ($5.35) entry fee. Authorities hope it will discourage visitors from arriving on peak days and make the city more livable for its dwindling residents.

Fujikawaguchiko has tried other methods: signs urging visitors not to run into the road and to use the designated crosswalk in English, Chinese, Thai and Korean, and even hiring a security guard as crowd control. None worked.

"I went to his barn, trailer in tow, and picked up Sweetie," Formisano said. "She hopped right in the trailer and the rest is history."

Sweetie's tail first reached the ground in 2012, and it has been growing ever since.

"Faithful Grandmother" picked up lottery tickets on April 22 while waiting for her order of chicken at Maryland chain Royal Farms. She didn't find out she won until she was home.

Her daughter, who went with her to collect her jackpot, said, "She called me and said, 'I think I won the progressive jackpot. She was so calm."

She went over to her mother's to doublecheck the $10 Casino Royale Slots ticket and saw that she did indeed win.

"Faithful Grandmother" isn't sure what she will do with her winnings.

2024 will mark the 50th anniversary of the American Music Awards. The AMA nominees and winners are chosen by fans using metrics album sales, song sales, radio airplay and Billboard charts.

Metrics now factor in streaming play too.

A total $878,000 in prizes are being distributed to 366 winners for the drawing.

The drawing has a top prize of $5,000 for matching all four numbers, with smaller prizes ranging from $100 to $2,500.

She brought it to the animal hospital the next day, concerned that it hadn't "moved or pooped all night," veterinarian Janet Kotze told The Independent.

Veterinarians then informed the woman that she had actually rescued the pom pom from the top of a beanie hat.

"She was an older lady, maybe sixties or seventies, well-spoken and well-meaning," Kotze said. "She said she could see something on the roadside that looked like a hedgehog."

"From a distance you take it at face value. She didn't handle it at all -- she scooped it in a box with some cat food and left it alone in a warm, dark place. She did everything so well. She barely peeked at it because she didn't want to stress it out," Kotze said.

It's crucial to understand that the presence of viral fragments of H5N1 doesn't indicate the presence of intact virus particles that could cause disease.

The commercial milk supply maintains safety through two critical measures:

The viral fragments were detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction testing, which is known for its exceptional sensitivity in detecting even trace amounts of viral genetic material. These fragments are only evidence that the virus was present in the milk. They aren't evidence that the virus is biologically active.
