Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. Did you see this emergency butterfly wing transplant?
It was watched by millions on social media. That's right.
A nature center in New York took care of a
butterfly with a broken wing. A woman in Deer Park,
New York, was walking along and saw this butterfly with
a broken wing. She brought it to the Sweetbriar Nature
Center in Smithtown. There she met Jeanine, who was the
director of wildlife Rehab. Jeanine doesn't have many monarch butterflies
in the vivarium and wondered maybe she could find a
dead one and transplant its wing onto the injured one.
Sure enough, there was a dead butterfly. Now I love
going to butterfly houses. They apparently don't live long. They
live like three weeks, so it's not like crazy sad
if you were to find a dead butterfly. That's just
how long they live. Janine told CBS it was so
intricate because this butterfly could fall apart if I pressed
too hard. We used contact. We had cornstarchs, a little
piece of wire that we could hold the butterfly down
with The One easy part was that butterflies have no
nerve endings in their upper wings. There are no blood
vessels either, and it was a success. That is amazing. Meanwhile,
an antique dealer who bought a stained glass window in
a Scottish thrist shop for twenty five dollars says it
belonged to King Robert I from the thirteen hundreds. Yeah,
Richard was out there in Scotland. We saw the glass
was for sale. He said it was discovered in an
old house in the area which had been abandoned for years.
They removed decades of Greece and they found the stained
glass that depicts what is believed to be a night
with a Latin inscription around the edges, which roughly translates
to Robert Bruce, King of the Scots. Richard said, I
cleaned it off with a brush that I could see it,
said Robert Rex Scotorum. That's when I thought this is
going to be interesting. It could be priceless if it's
proven to be of that period. It's a massive historical
find for Scotland. He's hoping it can go into a museum. Meanwhile,
Scott was walking down the beach. He picked up what
looked like a rock. Then he realized, hey, this could
be a fossil. These are what are called cannonball nodules
because they look like canniball. Sometimes they have something inside,
sometimes they don't. More often they don't. He split it
open with a hammer. What was inside? He said, Oh,
no way, look at that. That's insane, all right. What
was it inside was a perfectly formed fossil, a one
hundred and ninety million year old fossil called elegantserras. It
swam in the ocean back when the dinosaurs were around.
He says, anybody can go out and do it and
get lucky, but most will find obvious looking ones. It's
very difficult to find things when there are no obvious
signs on the outside. And that's what I seem to
excel at X ray vision. Okay, good news for a jaguar.
It was seen struggling to swim in a Brazilian river,
was rescued by authorities and taken to a clinic where
it was treated for gunshot wounds. Military police and wildlife
experts created an improvised flotation device. The vets found the
jaguar had been shot and had bullet fragments under its skin.
The jaguar underwent surgery and is now recovering and will
be returned to the wild. I've got a world record
for you. I've gotten bored with the people that are,
you know, every week, making some ridiculous things. I'm trying
to get away from that and just do world records
that are more interesting, such as Dynamic Derek. Congratulations to
Dynamic Derek, the tallest living donkey in the world, five
feet five inches from hoof to withers now. Dynamic Derek
lives with Bamboo, the donkey who has the longest ears
on a living donkey. Those ears are one foot one inch.
They live at the Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary. The owner of
the sanctuary, Tracy Toild, the New York Post. No one
could believe he's a donkey. They all think he's a
mule because he's so big. I saw a picture of
this donkey. It does look like a mule. And those
are your five good news stories for today. You have
an awesome day, You tall donkey
