Photo via djandzoya It seemed like a plan just sinister enough to work: ship in a bunch of rat-eating opossums to combat Brooklyn’s rodent problem . But as opposed of doing their job and dying off as city officials had planned, the opossums proved to be poor rat-killers, preferring instead to settle down in buildings and neighborhood parks. Now community leaders are fed up with the marauding animals rummaging through trashcans, hanging out in yards, and feeding themselves from local

Swans may be regarded as symbols of love and harmony , but sometimes they too can be downright mean — and one such bird in Wales may be the meanest of them all. Aptly named ‘Hannibal’, this bird has been on a rampage since the beginning of the year, killing 15 of his pond-mates and attacking dozens more. “I’ve never come across such an aggressive bird,” said one wildlife worker, who describes Hannibal as a “horrible swan.” But it may not be entirely his fault.

Image courtesy of the US Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Laboratory When the eastern gray squirrel was introduced to the UK during the 19th and 20th centuries, it quickly found a niche—outpacing the smaller, weaker, and generally less fit native red squirrel throughout England.
