Nobody seems to like starlings and there are several good reasons why that is. It makes me kind of feel sorry for them
Ma'am, we've got some good news and we've got some bad news. The good news is we found out what happened to your baby.
This is a lime-green Golden Retriever pup that was born in March. The breeders said “It’s not unusual to have some minor green tinting or green spots that the mother cleans up right away or we wash right away, and it comes right off, But Shamrock wasn’t like that. She was deeply stained all over with the green pigment.” The cause of the green tinge is exposure to a type of bile salt in the womb called biliverdin that sometimes leaves a green stain on a puppy’s fur, though only very rarely does it stain the whole body as it did Shamrock’s. At 8 weeks, the green-stained hair has about grown out.
China zoo forced to admit the truth after one of their “pandas” started panting and barking. The Shanwei zoo admits they painted dogs white and black to make them look like pandas. The zoo initially tried claiming that the dogs were a unique breed of pandas called “panda dogs.” It was later discovered that the “pandas” were Chow Chows who were dyed with white and black paint.

I FOUND THIS ON A LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SITE. JAMESPORT, NY — A deformed turtle, who looked very much like a duck, was recently given a new lease at life — at 70 years old — in Jamesport. According to the Turtle Rescue of the Hamptons in Jamesport, on July 10, a family from New York City brought the "beloved pet of their recently deceased grandmother" to Turtle Manor, the medical hospital of Turtle Rescue of the Hamptons, TROTH representatives said. Bubbles, who is affectionately known as "Mr. Bubbles," is a 70-yea-r-old Eastern Box turtle that was purchased by their grandmother when she was a child, no one really knew how to care for native turtles and Bubbles lived on a diet that was not nutritionally appropriate for him. As a result, he developed physical deformities, including a beak that made him look more like a duck," TROTH said. When Bubbles arrived at the rescue facility, he was unable to eat, drink or walk on his own, TROTH said. His eyes were white instead of the normal red associated with his species, which was due to a severe anemic condition. The medical staff at TROTH began immediate treatment, trimming his beak and nails, which had grown into his flesh. Bubbles was given intravenous medications and vitamin and calcium infusions weekly to correct his nutritional deficiency, as well as physical therapy to work on developing muscles that had never been used, TROTH said. "The staff at TROTH are proud to say that nearly three months later, Bubbles is not only no longer in pain but is eating and drinking on his own," representatives said. "With daily physical therapy he is regaining some use of his appendages and there is a good chance he will one day walk unassisted."
