A British antique collector paid $85,000 for a taxidermied head mislabeled as a fox, then confirmed through X-ray and CT scans that it belonged to a Tasmanian Tiger, an apex predator extinct since 1936. James Cranfield, a 38-year-old natural history relics dealer who specializes in collecting unusual fox heads, was scrolling an auction site when he spotted a listing for a "19th century fox head" consigned to Auctioneum, an auction house in Bristol, England. The image stopped him cold. The proportions were wrong. The teeth were wrong. Cranfield counted eight upper incisors in the photograph, two more than any fox has ever carried. He believed he was looking at the head of a thylacine, commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger, a carnivorous…Open

A large buck wandered into a St. Johns County, Florida, home on August 23, parked itself next to the toilet, took two dips in the backyard pool, and escaped through a fence before deputies could do much about it. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office shared video of the bizarre encounter on Facebook, showing the deer standing calmly beside the toilet bowl as deputies tried to figure out their next move. One deputy, audibly stunned, summed up the situation on camera. "First time I've had a deer in a house in 23 years of my profession." How the animal got inside remains unclear. No one in the household was named in the sheriff's office post, and the agency offered no explanation for the deer's point of entry. But the footage left little…Open
