Male Elks make a haunting, high pitched scream that is commonly misunderstood by newcomers to Arizona’s high country and the States city dwellers. The call is called Bugling and male Elks make this sound to attract females during mating season.

I guess it’s not surprising that some people might mistake this odd sound as that of humans in distress. One woman in Mesa Del ended up calling the Gila County Sheriff’s Office recently to report a fight with a lot of screaming which of course turned out to be a male Elk just trying to attract a female.

I’m sure the woman was relieved when she learned it was just the wildlife having a bit of fun!

A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.

The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?

Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.

The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.

Is this rabbit yawning, screaming or singing? Could be any of the choices couldn’t it? For some reason though, when I look at this picture I hear the rabbit singing … maybe Opera? LOL
