1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: Callaroga shark media. Oh boy, a driver on a South 2 00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:13,480 African road captured a video of the moment a lion 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,039 escaped from a truck high I am Johnny Mack with 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,160 five good news stories. There was a video on social media. 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239 You see the lion riding on top of the truck 6 00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,160 after managing to escape through the roof hatch. Oh no, 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,839 the truck pulled over as one does. The lion jumped 8 00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,839 from the truck started walking down the road. Ants on 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,880 his event at the local animal hospital and so the 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,520 line was in transit to a game farm when it escaped. 11 00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:39,719 The lion was still under the influence of the tranquilizer 12 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,359 it had been given prior to transport, and it wound 13 00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,119 up just kind of chilling out under a tree. The 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,759 lion has arrived at the game farm safely. Meanwhile, scientists 15 00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,399 may have saved the lives of future generations of elephants. 16 00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,600 Immunologists in the United Kingdom have developed the first successful 17 00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:01,960 vaccine for EEHV, which is a deadly virus responsible for 18 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,359 more elephant deaths than any other cause, both in captivity 19 00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:08,920 and in the wild. The vaccine is a two dose vaccine. 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,519 The first dost has a harmless version of the virus. 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,200 The second boost the immune response. Professor Falco is with 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,799 the University of Surrey and says, this is a landmark 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,120 moment in our work. For the first time we've shown 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,040 an elephants that a vaccine can trigger the type of 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,840 immune response needed to protect them against EEHV. In Australia, 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,519 a man called for help but when a venomous tiger 27 00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:32,599 snake was crawling across his foot when he was a 28 00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:35,120 passenger in a car. Tanny said he was in his 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,799 friend's car he felt something touch his barefoot. He told 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,040 the ABC. I felt something on my feet. I looked down. 31 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:42,959 This large snake was across my feet. I yelled out 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,439 to my friend to stop the car, get the dog 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,079 and jump out and get me A hell of a fright. 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,400 Some snake rescuers were called to the scene. They were 35 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:51,959 able to remove the snake and identified it as a 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,560 five foot tiger snake. Malcolm, the snakehuner, said, we've pulled 37 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,760 snakes out of home and hidden behind furniture, but it's 38 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,280 our first car. It was a close call. There was 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,040 no hint of a snake biting. Was actually a pretty 40 00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,879 easy catch. Good news if you're an animal. In Los Angeles, 41 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,800 the first plants were planted. The Wallace Annaberg Wildlife Crossing 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,280 stretches across all ten lanes of the one oh one, 43 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,759 giving mountain lions, coyotes, deer another wildlife a safe path 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,360 between habitats and away from those pesky cars on the 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,879 one oh one. The plants are grown locally from more 46 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:24,719 than a million seeds. Together, they'll form a one acre 47 00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:28,240 greenway over the freeway. Beth is with the National Wildlife 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,199 Federation and said, this is a momentous occasion. We're standing 49 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,680 on top of the one oh one and you can 50 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:35,159 hear how quiet it is. But not all as well 51 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:37,719 on the California Highways, why we lay for Workshohn, Well, 52 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:39,639 you see, I was on my way to work and 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,240 then this California Highway Patrol told us of a berry 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,599 sticky situation. You see, a truck lost its load of 55 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,400 blueberries onto the highway. This was on southbound ninety nine 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,000 near the one eighty interchange, you know the spot. The 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,159 CHP shared photos of the berries on the road, as 58 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,039 well as the sticky purple mess caused by the berries 59 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,599 being run over by the California Department of Transportation say 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,599 they were summoned to the highway to clear the jam. 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,719 And those are your five good news stories for today. 62 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,319 I have a good one.
