Operation tiger: 27 stone zoo animal requires police escort as surgeons remove rugby ball-sized tumour

By PAUL HARRIS

Out cold: Amba on the operating table


She tips the scales at 27st and she’s perfectly capable of biting your head off should she happen to get upset.

On top of that, she’d been feeling a bit tetchy lately due to a crippling pain in her gut. So here’s a question not many surgeons will face in their career: just how do you remove a tumour the size of a rugby ball from the belly of a sleeping tiger?
Answer: very carefully indeed.

That was the challenge facing animal and medical experts when they devised a plan to get Amba the 12-year-old tiger to the operating table from her home in a wildlife park ten miles away.

It involved a vet, a tailor-made steel cage, a heavily escorted trip up a motorway, plus armed guards and police on standby. Crucially, you may think, it also involved enough anaesthetic to guarantee she wouldn’t suddenly wake up wondering where she was.

But less than a week after the life-or-death surgery was completed, Amba came back... well... like a tiger.

The remarkable fusion of logistic and surgical operations was devised to investigate why Amba, a star attraction at Shepreth wildlife park and conservation centre in Hertfordshire, was beginning to look unusually large.

To mimic her natural diet, she is often bulk fed on up to around 3st of meat in one sitting, and can thus appear bloated. When the swelling failed to subside, however, it spelled trouble.

The park’s consultant vet, Peter Aylmer, enlisted the help of Cambridge University Veterinary School. Surgery seemed inevitable.


Full recovery: Amba is as playful as a kitten after recuperating from her operation


Now came a problem – how to get her there. Amba was encouraged into an enclosure at the park and allowed to rest. Then she was shot with a tranquilliser dart and carried into a specially commissioned steel crate, which was loaded into a van.

At Cambridge, Amba was lifted on to an operating table and spread out in roughly the same shape as a tiger-skin rug, if she’ll pardon the analogy.

The haggis-like object in the main picture is a weighted cushion placed to stop her rolling off the table. The machine and tubing at her head is the equipment supplying anaesthetic.

First job was to drain the fluid that had effectively put a tank in the tiger. There was more than 30 litres of it – nearly the same as the fuel capacity of a Fiat 500.

After borrowing a large X-ray plate from nearby Addenbrooke’s Hospital, it became clear that Amba had a massive tumour in her abdomen. It was causing the blockage that created the fluid, which, in turn, was stopping her from breathing properly. After two hours of surgery, it was removed.

Lead surgeon Jackie Demetriou admitted afterwards it was ‘certainly a challenge’.
Tiger anatomy is much the same as that of a domestic cat. The difference is that post-op after-care for a slightly sore tiger is clearly out of the question.

Yesterday, however, Amba was showing little sign of needing it. Reunited with her fellow hybrid Rana, who waited anxiously beside her as she recuperated, she appears to have made a full recovery.

Shepreth animal manager Rebecca Willers said: ‘She’s back to her normal size now – and running around like there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her.’

Teenager suspended from school for arriving dressed as a knight... and riding a HORSE

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

His owners says Pierre the horse wouldn't hurt a fly


A teenager was suspended from his Massachusetts school after he arrived on campus on horseback while dressed as a medieval knight..

Teachers failed to see the funny side when Dan Depaolis, 17, arrived for lessons at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School last Thursday on his family's steed Pierre.

According to the boy's father, the school's Vice Principal compared the severity of the incident to bringing a gun on to campus.


Dan is an experienced rider and he had the full support of his parents for his knight costume


'They likened it to bringing a loaded firearm to school, which I thought was a little bit overboard,' Ron Depaolis said.

The stunt was meant to celebrate 'medieval day' during the school's Spirit Week, during which students dress up in different themes and are awarded points for their costumes.

But while Dan's parents thought it would be an amusing stunt, the school deemed it dangerous and suspended the teenager for two days.

The costumed student 'squire' who accompanied Dan was given a one-day suspension and community service.

According to Ron, he told the Vice Principal that the horse was brought to the campus on a trailer, was on campus for five minutes and no one was in jeopardy, but the school disagreed.

Dan's mother Julie said she was stunned at the suspension because their 1100lb horse would not hurt a fly.

'Never in my wildest dreams did I think I was going to walk myself into a suspension,' she said.

'I was trying to let the kids have a laugh and bring morale up.
Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School has refused to comment on the incident, saying they do not discuss any aspect of school discipline.

Rupert the rampaging ram finally caught after terrorising town and evading capture for 100 days

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Waiting game: Rupert's captors sealed off part of the garden before pouncing


An escaped ram which terrorised a town after going on the rampage for nearly 100 days has finally been captured.

Rupert the rambling ram escaped from a farm near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in July after spotting a gap between a hedge and fence.

The Soay ram spent the next three months eating grass and flowers from neighbourhood gardens.

Although the RSPCA received scores of sightings from concerned residents, inspectors and police officers were unable to catch him - until now.

Rupert was finally cornered in the garden of a cul-de-sac on October 26 by a five-man team of RSPCA and council officers.

RSPCA inspector Will Rippon admitted the animal was 'quite difficult' to locate and was only apprehended 'after a lot of chasing and running'.


End of the road: It took a five-man team to get Rupert under control


'We are delighted to have finally been able to catch the ram after a number of attempts,' Mr Rippon said.

'I know RSPCA officers have made at least two previous attempts to capture him and I believe the police and council also tried to corner him.

'I'm not surprised he remained on the run for three months because he's very quick and extremely resourceful and canny.

'He seems to know exactly how to escape from every situation and we're all very relieved to have caught up with him at last.

'It is great that he is now being cared for in a safe place, where hopefully he can't get into any more mischief.

'He did prove quite difficult to catch, but we kept persevering and thankfully it paid off.'

It is not known where Rupert lived and slept during his months on the run but, apart from a minor leg injury, he appeared in good health.

The wandering mischief maker is now being cared for at an animal shelter in Huntingdon and is expected to be returned to pasture soon.



Stable condition: Rupert's ram-bling days are hopefully over after an animal sanctuary offered him a home

Luxury doggie day care: Pampered pooches are treated to massages, disco and filet mignon meals at VIP New York venue

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Modern oasis: A satisfied customer enjoys a low-stress blow dry and infra-red treatment at the Fetch Club for dogs in Manhattan, New York


Owners whose pooches are in need of a little extra TLC need look no further than a new doggie day care centre in New York where dogs receive the full VIP treatment.

Fetch Club provides its guests with a canine restaurant, fitness centre, style and photo studio, nightclub and even hotel.

Offering Reiki energy massages to the pampered pooches, Fetch Club has a 3,000 sq ft indoor grass lawn, a pool complete with purified mineral water and offers pedicures and manicures to Manhattan's barking elite.


Pampered pooch: A canine is stimulated with liver-scented bubbles during group playtime sessions


There is also a workout room, and photo studio for pet shoots with a stylist on hand.
Set inside a 13,000 sq ft warehouse near the heart of New York's Financial District, Fetch Club aims to be a modern oasis for the modern urban dog.

'We are here to take care of the mental, physical and spiritual needs of New York's urban canines,' said Peter Balestrieri, 52, who opened Fetch Club earlier this month with his girlfriend Janna Lee, 25.

'For £190 a year, a Fetch Club member can leave their dog with us for the day knowing that they will be cared for and most importantly entertained.

'Dependent on the needs of the parent of the dog we can place their pup on one of our two fitness treadmills where they can exercise while watching a video clip on a plasma screen of squirrels running or dogs playing.


Striking a pose: The club features a photo studio where owners can have their dogs professionally photographed


Fetch Club, a dog care spa in lower Manhattan, stimulates their canine clients with liver-scented bubbles during group playtime sessions


'While on the indoor lawn our six certified pet technicians will watch over up to our capacity of 90 dogs while our large projector screen plays some great dog movies like 'Lassie' or 'Scooby Doo'.

'If that is not enough for some of the more active dogs then they could take a dip in our well-being pool, which comes complete with running waterfall.


Labour of love: Fetch dog spa owners Janna Lee and Peter Balestrieri


'We are looking to freshen up dogs that are cooped up all day in skyscrapers and apartment blocks and awaken the puppy-aliveness that still lies within them.'

Fetch Club has been a labour of love for Peter and Janna, who decided to create a dog centre that they would be happy to leave their own pet in.

'One of the features we are most proud of is our doggie-disco, which is what the club becomes after 7pm,' said Peter.

'This is a members-only feature and allows us to pen off a dance area for dogs whose owners are working late or off to dinner.

'We have a working glitter ball and play all the greatest disco hits from the 70's through to the present day.

'And if one particular dog gets lucky on the dance floor, then they could make use of our hotel section, or even use our penthouse suite.'

A boutique in the club's entrance offers frilly outfits, leashes decorated with skulls and crossbones, blueberry-scented dog cologne and peanut butter-flavored Poochi Sushi.

A night in the hotel costs £49 for members and dogs in need of smartening up can receive a cut and colour for an extra £49.

All dogs must sit for temperament interviews before they can join the club, but Balestrieri said everyone has passed so far.

'I was thinking we got Godzilla here': Hunter tells of moment he caught recordbreaking 14ft3in alligator on Hallowe'en

By SOPHIE FREEMAN

Catch of the day: Tres Ammerman with the alligator he harpooned on Halloween night. The 14ft3.5ins beast - thought to be between 50 and 60-years-old has broken the Florida state record


One of the largest alligators in the world has been caught in Florida.

The gator, trapped by hunter Tres Ammerman on Halloween night, measures 14ft 3.5ins - breaking the state record.

It's believed the beast, which weighed 654 pounds is between 50 and 60-years-old.

The last state record was set back in 1997 and the alligator was just over 14ft.
Mr Ammerman's find, caught just west of Melbourne, is three inches longer.

The hunter is planning to sell his catch to a taxidermist at $1,000 a foot, netting him in excess of $14,000.

He said: 'I feel like I hit the lottery. I do, it's just amazing.'


Mammoth: The gator, which weighed 654 pounds, tugged and pulled for half an hour after Mr Ammerman harpooned it. It was too large to fit in the hunter's boat and had to be dragged behind the vessel


Mr Ammerman, originally from Yorkshire, England, was hunting with two friends on Sunday night in Lake Washington when he harpooned the reptile. The gator fought his line for 30 minutes before Mr Ammerman could work out how big the creature was.

'He was running, jumping, rolling, fighting and trying to bite up on my boat ... I was thinking we got Godzilla here,' Mr Ammerman said.

The gator was too large to fit into their boat, so they spent two hours dragging it behind them before hauling it into the back of their truck.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has confirmed that Mr Ammerman's catch is a new state record.

The largest alligator ever recorded was found in Louisiana and measured 19ft 2 ins.

Dying mountain bear forced to drink Coca-Cola to amuse cafe customers

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shocking footage has appeared showing a dying mountain bear being held captive in a filthy cage drinking from a Coca-Cola bottle for the amusement of cafe customers


Shocking footage has appeared showing a dying mountain bear being held captive in a filthy cage drinking from a Coca-Cola bottle for the amusement of customers in an Azerbaijan cafe.

The cruel spectacle has been branded 'a disgrace' by The International Fund for Animal Welfare.

The harrowing scenes show the malnourished bear gripping the plastic bottle with its paws in a cramped, squalid cage.

The pictures were taken last month in the city of Gabala by Daryl Willard a British sports coach who has worked in the former Soviet republic.

Gabala is where former England football captain Tony Adams currently lives and manages a team.

Mr Willard, 27, revealed that just a few days after his initial visit he returned to confront the cafe owner only to discover the bear had died and been replaced by another one.


Hunched: Days after the pictures were taken, the bear was dead and had been replaced by another one 'caught from the nearby mountains'


He told the Sun: 'People cheered and shouted as they watched the starving bear drink from the cola bottle and eat sandwich leftovers they threw.

'A few days after it died, there was a new one. They told me they catch a new one up in the mountains.'

The country's embassy claimed the cruelty was 'an isolated case'.

Prowling for a postman: The cat whose letterbox attacks prompted Royal Mail to ban deliveries

By ANDREW LEVY

Postman's nightmare: Royal Mail officials are refusing to put the White family's post through the letterbox after Lana the cat scratched a postman


To the family who own her, Lana the tortoiseshell cat is nothing but a big softie.
But to postman Andrew Goater, she is a vicious beast out for his blood.

Mr Goater was scratched by Lana’s claws when he put his hand through the letterbox.


Threat: Owner Carl White said, after Royal Mail threatened to suspend their service: 'I was shocked and thought someone was playing a joke. She's really docile, I can pick her up like a baby and she won't bat an eyelid'


In the wars: Postman Goater, right


As a result, Royal Mail has ordered Carl and Carol White to keep their pet away from the front door or face a ban on deliveries to their home in Portsmouth.

‘I was shocked and thought someone was playing a joke,’ said 36-year-old Mr White, a father of two. ‘She’s really docile. I can pick her up like a baby and she won’t bat an eyelid.’


The family have had Lana for 18 months. ‘Our letterbox is about six inches off the ground and she likes to sit behind it,’ said Mr White, a cleaner at the city’s dockyard.

‘The postman put the letters through the door and for some reason Lana scratched his hand. She wasn’t being vicious – I think she just saw the hand and was being playful.

‘A couple of weeks after the incident we got a letter from Royal Mail to say if we did not keep her away from the door then they will suspend our service. Now the postman knocks each morning to hand our post to us in case the cat is there.’

Postman Goater, 53, insisted the health-and-safety measures were necessary.
‘Normally you hear about postmen being attacked by the dog but this cat just came out of nowhere,’ he said. ‘It was a really vicious scratch. The cut was bleeding for two hours and customers complained their mail had blood on it.

‘I went to hospital and got a booster jab for tetanus. The staff said cats have more diseases than dogs, so you have to be careful.’

Royal Mail confirmed it had contacted the family to ensure its staff could ‘continue to safely deliver to the address in the future’.


Hazard: Lana loves being playful, but Royal Mail issued a stong-worded letter after the scratching incident

In the pink: The tiny flamingo snuggling up under his mother's wing

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Cute: The unnamed Chilean flamingo chick was born a month ago at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and has been snapped sheltering for cover under its mother's wing


With the winter nights drawing in, most people could be forgiven for wanting to snuggle under the duvet.

But this shy newborn has a hiding place all of its own - tucked cosily inside its mother's feathers.

The adorable baby Chilean flamingo can barely be seen sheltering inside the warm pink nest, only peeking out in time for dinner.


Snuggle: The tiny chick looks cosy tucked up in his mother's feathers


The fluffy chick chirped at its doting mother, who ducked her head gracefully to deliver crop milk - a dark red secretion similar to mammals' milk - to her offspring.

The chick is one of two babies born at Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, US, at the beginning of October, with three other eggs waiting to hatch.

The pair, who have not yet been named, are now practicing walking and balancing on one leg just like their parents.

New BBC film shows dolphins teaching younger animals how to hunt for the first time

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Newborn dolphin Samu with mother Puck in scenes following the early days of a newborn dolphin's life in a BBC documentary


Extraordinary scenes of the early days of a newborn dolphin's life have been caught on camera for the first time - including an apparent fishing lesson and a gathering of females to see the proud mum and baby.

The footage in a BBC2 documentary on Wednesday also shows a young female's attempt to kidnap the baby bottlenose dolphin, various hunting techniques employed by the mammals and a shark attack.

The makers of The Dolphins of Shark Bay used miniature cameras to capture the first hours of a calf's life and previously unseen sights that point to the animals' intelligence and complex relationships.

Scientists studying the dolphins off the coast of Australia are now planning to investigate further.

The film follows Puck and her eighth calf Samu, two of the bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, western Australia, which is the foremost site for research into the mammals.

Puck leads a group of dolphins nicknamed 'the Beachies' because of their hunting technique of driving fish across the shallows towards the shore.

Georgetown University professor Janet Mann, who leads the research into dolphins in the bay, said: 'I have followed Puck through her every pregnancy and birth over the last 20 years and we probably know more about Puck than any other wild dolphin.


The camera crew caught the baby dolphin being taught how to hunt


The Dolphins of Shark Bay documentary is the first TV programme to capture dolphins teaching life skills to younger animals


'The film not only lets others share the intricacies of dolphin social life, but also their prowess in hunting and other proofs of their extraordinary intelligence.

'For instance, in Shark Bay, we have the only dolphins in the world that use tools - marine sponges to protect their beaks while hunting along the seafloor.'

The documentary includes footage of an unusual gathering of unrelated females meeting baby Samu at a 'greet-the-newborn' social event and his family of dolphins working together to protect the youngster from a shark.

The film crew also captured footage of what appears to be an older calf giving the infant a lesson in how to fish.


Professor Janet Mann watching newborn dolphin Samu with mother Puck


Prof Mann said: 'Given the complexity of their hunting, we have long hoped to see behaviour that looks like 'teaching'.

'It is very hard to capture such rare events but the film shows Samu apparently being taught how to catch smaller fish by an older calf (Samu's niece) right at the time he was trying out his hunting skills and clearly needed help.'

Nick Stringer, director of the Big Wave Productions documentary for the BBC's Natural World series, said the film provided a 'rare window into the lives of these extraordinary creatures'.

'I'd never have guessed how intimate or complex their relationships are, nor how smart they are.

'There really is a very bright mind in the water, and I really hope we've captured a sense of this for viewers.'

How ostriches use their 'springy' legs to help them run faster and longer

Ostriches are able to hit high speeds and sustain them for long periods because of their energy stored in their tendons


Ostriches are able to run so fast over long distances because they use half as much energy as humans do to run at their top speed.

Scientists who compared ostriches and humans running discovered that the huge birds can store twice as much energy in their leg tendons as we can.

This reduces the effort needed to run at high speeds and explains why ostriches are able to run at up to 45mph for long periods of time.

Leader of the study, Professor Jonas Rubenson of the School of Sports Science, Exercise and Health at the University of Western Australia, said the aim of the research was to find out what mechanical adaptations were made by species able to run fast and efficiently.

He said that while lions and cheetahs can outrun the ostrich on short sprints, they use a great deal of energy, and other species such as ostriches, antelopes and horses, can run fast over long distances.

To find out how an ostrich runs the researches fitted reflective markers to the joints of five humans and five tame ostriches. They then carried out a detailed analysis of their gait and movements as they ran on a custom-built running track 50 metres long.

They also measured the forces applied to the ground during running.



Human legs (b and d) and ostrich legs (a and c) during running seen from side-on (top) and front-on (bottom)


The results demonstrated that both humans and ostriches need almost exactly the same amount of mechanical work to swing their limbs during running. But they found that the major difference was in the storage and release of energy by the tendons.



Ostriches were fitted with motion sensors


They calculated that the release of this elastic energy generated 83 per cent more power in the ostrich than in the human, which meant the ostrich uses less metabolic energy and is less fatigued.

'The difference lies in the elasticity of their joints,' Professor Rubenson told the BBC.

'Ostriches generate over twice as much power from recoil of elastic energy stored in tendons than humans, which means they need less muscle power to run at the same speed.

'Moving with elastic limbs is akin to bouncing on a pogo stick, where you don't have to work very hard to bounce along - so it's all in the spring of their step.'

The findings of the research, described in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, may enable engineers to design better prosthetic limbs by focusing on elastic propulsion.

They could also help robot researchers to design more agile robots. The results could also provide some insight into the evolution of bipedalism.
