Dead fish on Cornwall beach

More dead fish have washed up in Cornwall - on a different beach.

At the beginning of December, Pirate FM told you about thousands littering the shore at Pentewan.
Now more have beached at Marazion - and were discovered by a dog walker on Saturday.

David Hughes spotted them at low tide and strangely, revealed seagulls and his dog did not seem to want to go near them.

David said: "Just got back from a walk on the beach at Marazion, Cornwall and noticed thousands of fish which I believe to be Mackerel washed up on the beach at low tide.

"Interestingly, the seagulls were not interested in these fish even though they looked very fresh and our boxer dog did not even try to eat them?

"Would be interested if you hear of any reason this may have happened".

A Michigan woman on a snowmobiling trip captured video of a bizarre phenomenon: a disc of ice slowly rotating on the surface of a river.

Karla S. Dahms posted a video to Facebook showing the strange rotating ice circle she spotted in the Muskegon River, near the city of Houghton Lake.

Dahms said she had never seen anything like the ice disc in the river before.

Researchers determined the ice discs occur when cold air comes in contact with an eddy in the river and the ice forms into a circle, which rotates due to the current it creates by slowly melting.

A scary moment for Bowie Middle School in Odessa, a bobcat was spotted on their campus.

The animal was tranquilized twice after trying to attack an animal control officer and died.

"Our intent was not to kill the bobcat. The intent was to subdue the threat and relocate it," said Cpl. Steve LeSueur of the Odessa Police Department.

Police say they have had bobcat sightings in the past, mainly on the outskirts of town.

"It's not uncommon for them to come into the city limits, especially kind of on the outline areas, especially near Commanche Trail Park and other areas like that," said LeSueur.

"If you do see it in the daytime, like this one was, chances are, it could be rabid," said Midland County Game Warden Patrick Merriman.

Diver bitten by shark near Perth, Western Australia

A Scarborough diver recovering from what is believed to be a shark bite claims fishermen gutting fish on the beach are attracting sharks to the area.

Tim Roberts said he had noticed a big increase in the number of sharks and other dangerous sea life, including stingrays, because of the fish tails and guts that wash out to sea after fishermen gut them on shore.

Mr Roberts, 61, was diving 100m offshore on Wednesday when what he believes was a shark punctured his left foot four times through his fin.

"I swam like crazy after I felt that," he said. "I was waiting for the inevitable big bite, but it never happened."
