WHO NEEDS A PLANE WHEN THERE’S SNAKES IN A DRAWER
Snakes seem to pop up in the strangest of places.
In Melbourne, Australia, a reptile wrangler was called after a woman found one of the world’s most venomous snakes in her three-year-old son’s underwear drawer.
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Mark Pelley, also known as the “Snake Hunter,” said he was called after a woman found a five-foot eastern brown snake in the drawer.

“There it is. A brown snake in an underwear drawer. That’s not something you see every day,” said Pelley upon making the discovery. “That’s impressive, isn’t it?”
The snake wrangler said the second most venomous snake species in the world hid in some freshly washed clothes the mother had brought in from the clothes line a day before and had placed it in the drawer.
In a picture posted in the comments section of the video, it appears that Pelley safely removed the snake from the home. It’s safe to say the mother will closely check the clothing she brings in the next time she does laundry.

SNOW SHARK MAKING WAVES IN IOWA CITY
Why build a snowman in winter when you can make something much larger and cooler?
Iowa City sculptor Carlos Maldonado’s creation of a 5 1/2-foot-tall, 20-foot-long white shark out of snow has become a tourist attraction with schools of visitors swimming to its location for a picture.
Maldonado told Iowa’s News Now that he built the snow sculpture with the help of his two sons.
“I looked up snow sculptures; I didn’t really want to do anything plain,” said Maldonado. “When I saw a shark online, I figured I could do that. So I gave it a shot and this is what we ended up with.”

The sculptor said it took about 4 1/2 hours to create the shark and close to two hours to colour it with acrylic paint. Maldonado posted pictures of his creation online, which attracted visitors.
One visitor, Anastasia Morton, told Iowa’s News Now that she and her fiance had seen the shark on “Facebook and we just thought it was a really good idea to bring our kids out to be able to see what creativity and what they can really do with snow.”
“It will be a very good memory for my kids.”
