Mexican authorities arrest man smuggling 18 monkeys in his clothing

Mexican authorities have arrested a man who was trying to smuggle 18 small monkeys into the country by carrying them in his clothing. Roberto Sol Cabrera, a Mexican citizen, was stopped at a random check at Mexico City's international airport after arriving from Lima. In a statement, police said Mr Cabrera Zavaleta had been behaving "nervously". Once he was searched, it was discovered that he had hidden 18 titi monkeys in a girdle around his waist.

After his arrest, Mr Sol Cabrera confessed that the animals had travelled in his luggage, and that he had put them under his clothing "to protect them from X-rays" as he was going through customs. The animals had been put into socks, police explained, and two of them were dead at the time of confiscation. Many species of titi monkeys, a species from South America, are in an endangered animal list by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites).

The Mexican government recently restricted imports of primates and since Mr Sol Cabrera did not have any permits, he will remain in custody while more investigations take place. Mr Sol Cabrera says he had paid $30 (�19.70) for each specimen in Peru. According to estimates, monkeys like the ones confiscated in the airport could have been sold for between $775 (�509) and $1,550 (�1,018) in Mexico.

Adrian Reuter, local representative for Traffic - an international organization that monitors wildlife trade - said that animal trafficking is a serious problem in Mexico. "The reasons are two: one, because Mexico is an important route for those who want to smuggle animals into the US, and the other, because, as in other countries of Latin America, there is a deep-rooted tradition of having wild animals as pets," he said. The Sonora market, in the Mexican capital, is known to sell parrots, monkeys or reptiles for private owners. Mr Reuter recognizes that in the last few years, the Mexican government has improved efforts on fighting animal-trafficking criminal networks, rather than focusing on the citizens who want to have "a parrot for company", he says.

Man killed by branch while shooting squirrels

A Chico California ranch worker died on Monday when a branch apparently fell on his head after he shot at squirrels, according to the Butte County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to the 7000 block of Cana Highway at about 12:30 p.m. on a report of a "possible coroner's case." Joaquin Medina, a worker at the ranch, was found dead.

The Sheriff's Office said Medina was apparently shooting at squirrels and hit a large tree branch with a shotgun round.

The branch apparently broke, deputies said, and hit Medina on the head, causing head trauma. It's unknown if Medina was taken to a hospital, but officials said the trauma led to his death.

40-Ton Whale Lands On Yacht

The 40-ton whale crash-landed on their boat.

The pair were enjoying calm seas off the South African coast when the animal flipped into the air and smashed into their mast.

Ralph Mothes, 59, and Paloma Werner, 50, were helpless as the beast thrashed around on their 33ft vessel before slipping back into the water.

Miss Werner said: "It really was quite incredible but very scary. The whale was about the same size as the boat.

"We'd spotted it about 100 metres away and thought that was the end of it. Then suddenly it was right up beside us.

"I assumed it would go underneath the boat but instead it sprang out of the sea. We were very lucky to get through it, as the sheer weight of the thing was huge.

"There were bits of skin and blubber left behind, and the mast was wrecked. It brought down the rigging too.

"Thank goodness the hull was made of steel and not fibreglass or we could have been ruined."

Moments before the animal leapt it had pounded its tail on the surface of the water in a 'lob-tailing' ritual to communicate with other whales.

The shaken couple, who are experienced seafarers with the Cape Town Sailing Academy, used their engine to get back to shore in Table Bay.

Whales are a common sight in the Atlantic Ocean off the Western Cape coast at this time of year as they come near the shore to breed.

Thousands of tourists flock to the region's seaside resorts every year to spot the mammals during the South African winter from June to November.

Hermanus, a popular destination around 80 miles east of Cape Town, employs a 'whale crier' to walk through the town announcing where whales have been seen.

JOKE: a Texas oil magnate demanded that divorce proceedings begin at once

Storming into his lawyer's office, a Texas oil magnate demanded that divorce proceedings begin at once against his young bride. "What's the problem?"

"I want to hit that adulterin' bitch for breach of contract," snapped the oil man.

"I don't know if that will fly," said the lawyer. "I mean your wife isn't a piece of property, you don't own her!"

"Damn right," the tycoon rejoined, "but I sure as hell expect exclusive drillin' rights!"
