one of the happy raccoons.

interrupted when an osprey flew over and dropped a hammerhead
shark onto the hole that the disc golfers were playing
on on bird drops shark on disc golf, disc golfer. Yep,
so this won't happen in Michigan, so I guess we
could call it a pure Michigan moment. But yeah, the
osprey was just carrying its lunch over the disc golf
course and dropped it right onto the course. That's a

little guy, you know, A little hammerhead shark unfortunately did
not make it.

soak in a residence hot tub before removing the cushions
from an outdoor quote couch and taking a nap for
six hours. Personnel there used hazing techniques to encourage the
bear to leave the property ended up scaling a nearby
tree in a vacant lot, and that's when they were
able to lure it into the trap with the donuts.
