It s not everyday a pet dog encounters a lizard of similar size to themselves in their own backyard.
On Sunday evening, a pitbull/boxer cross in Willis, Texas experienced just that when she was let outside for a bathroom break. Her owner, Molly Doughtery is grateful that her dog is alive after the ordeal.
Doughtery left her beloved dog Nola with her parents for the weekend while she attended her birthday celebration in New Orleans. She received a call from her mother on Sunday evening as she was boarding her flight to return home, screaming that Nola has been attacked by a very large lizard, Doughtery told Fox26 in a video interview.

In the 6-second clip, a strange critter appears to dash across the yard as something trails behind it. Because the footage is so grainy, it s almost impossible to decipher what species the beast might actually be. But that hasn t stopped Ryan from coming up with her own theory.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/502510.html (Natural News) Scientists discovered that giant tortoises can remember skills that they learned a decade ago, exceeding their reputation as animals lacking in speed and cognitive ability. In their report, a research team from the
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology studied Galapagos and Seychelles tortoises at zoos in Vienna and Zurich for nine years.
For their experiment, they trained the tortoises to bite a colored ball at the end of a stick. Next, they moved one to two meters away from the tortoises to train them to move towards the colored ball and bite it. Lastly, they presented two balls with different colors on the end of two sticks and trained the tortoises to choose the correct colored ball that was used in the first two activities.
