Alligator Wins Lottery and Jumps for Joy

This swampy critter is really happy. He went into town last week, bought a lottery ticket and won. No more searching for morsels in the muddy waters. Now he plans to move into the local hotel, live there and have food brought to him. Maybe he can have a go on the slot machines and win some more cash.

Elephants Play Football

Not only humans enjoy a game of soccer. Elephants have a good time playing it too. Despite their size they are very fast and agile.

The fifth annual Chitwan festival in Nepal organized a soccer match for elephants in the region. Competition was rough with masters and elephants playing hard. The Wai Wai noodles team won the event. They dominated the final against the Hotel Association winning 3-0.

Riders sit on the backs of elephants while the animals really kick the ball around. An international elephant race has been included to bring more people (and elephants) to the festival.
