The Story Of A Baby Fox Who Died On Lansdowne Street For No F-ing Reason

A baby fox was in the middle of the road Saturday night on Lansdowne street. Cars saw it and slowed down to avoid hitting it—as any normal, compassionate person would do. One did not, and in fact appeared to speed up, as you'll see in the Facebook post we screen-captured below from someone who witnessed it. And now, that baby fox is dead. Four words for the person driving that car: Karma is a bitch.

Quentin Might Be The Most Adorable Animal Ever

[UPDATE: Jim Moloney, Manager & Curator at the Zoo, tell us Quentin has finished his quarantine and is now on exhibit!]

ORIGINAL POST:

Meet Quentin, a recent arrival to the Riverview Park & Zoo from Assiniboine Park & Zoo in Winnipeg. Quentin, a rather bashful looking guy, is a Sichuan Takin—a subspecies of takin (goat-antelope). As a new arrival, he's in quarantine as a precaution but should be out in the next two or three weeks for the public to see, the zoo tells us. Get this dude a Twitter and Instagram account so he can take selfies!

The Only Thing Missing With Matilda The Peterborough Square Duck Is A Twitter Account

Too cute, and apparently this mall rat, er, duck, has been coming back for several years... She lives right outside the Dancing Blueberries, and lays her eggs here each year.

@Ptbo_Canada have you seen the duck at Peterborough Square? It looks like it has a nest started in a flower pot. pic.twitter.com/CPQqZ4eUb9

@ferrioinstereo @Ptbo_Canada Matilda! She's come back the last 3 years to nest in that planter.

R.I.P. The Chemong Moose

Photo Alex Bushell

We are devastated to report the Chemong Moose is dead. The moose that has endeared itself to so many this week and has become the talk of the town—and county—had to be put down by the MNR. The reasons why are explained in these tweets below from Examiner reporter Sarah Deeth.

The Chemong Rd. moose? It's dead. The MNR destroyed it after the moose displayed erratic, dangerous behaviour. RIP, Chemong Rd. Moose.

— Sarah Deeth (@SarahDeeth) May 2, 2014

MNR official said they made many attempts all day to force moose, which was covered in ticks & emaciated, back into the woods.

— Sarah Deeth (@SarahDeeth) May 2, 2014

Moose was unafraid of humans, traffic, appeared disoriented. MNR on scene apparently concerned it had brain worm.

The Peterborough Dog Owners Association Is Dissolving

 The Peterborough Dog Owners Association has announced that it is dissolving the corporation and donating the money to the city for an off-leash dog park. As they say in a statement:

The PDOA feels very proud of the fact that their organization pushed the envelope farther than any other group before them and that there are now Policies and Procedures for dog parks in the City of Peterborough. We hope that the new operators will honour all commitments from sponsors in terms of signage and recognition at the dog park. We wish to thank all who have given their support and donations over the last two years.

For more information, contact the group.  They will also be closing their Twitter account.
