Britain teenager weighs 462 pounds

Food addict Georgia Davis has told how eating is a drug as deadly as heroin for her — and has driven her weight to a life-threatening 33 stones at age 15. The scared schoolgirl admitted: "Doctors have told me I could drop dead at any moment. "I can’t walk more than a few steps without getting out of breath and a few months ago I developed Type 2 diabetes. When I look in the mirror I feel sad and go to my bedroom and cry. I know it’s partly my fault. But it’s so hard to stop eating.
"It’s like a drug. Some people choose heroin but I’ve chosen food and it’s killing me."A typical daily intake includes processed ready-meals, several sandwiches, multi-packs of peanuts and crisps, sausages, pasties, chips, chocolate and chunks of cheese — washed down with litre bottles of Coke or pints of milk. It adds up to 13,538 calories a day. The average 15-year-old girl only needs 2,000 calories a day and should weigh 9st 4lb.

Golden retriever adopts tiger cubs at Kansas zoo
A dog at a southeast Kansas zoo has adopted three tiger cubs abandoned by their mother. Safari Zoological Park owner Tom Harvey said the tiger cubs were born on Sunday, but the mother had problems with them.
A day later, the mother stopped caring for them. Harvey said the cubs were wandering around, trying to find their birth mother, who wouldn't pay attention to them. That's when the cubs were put in the care of a golden retriever, Harvey said.
Harvey said it's unusual for dogs to care for tiger cubs, but it does happen. He said he has seen reports of pigs nursing cubs in China, and he actually got the golden retriever after his wife saw television accounts of dogs caring for tiger cubs.

Police Finds Baby Seal In Car During Traffic Stop
Even in a small town like Coupeville, Washington routine traffic stops usually don't make the news. But you could hardly call what happened routine.
"One of my officers stopped a vehicle on the streets here in town for failing to stop at a stop sign," said Town Marshall David Penrod.
Penrod says when his deputy walked up to the car, something caught his eye. "He looked in the back seat and noticed what he thought was a stuffed animal began to move around," said Penrod.
Staring up at him from behind the glass was a harbor seal pup just a few days old, scared and dehydrated. The deputy's investigation of a rolling stop was now an investigation of something very serious.
It's violation of federal law to capture a seal.

Shelter caters for 44-pound cat

Meet Princess Chunky - all 44 pounds of her and just two pounds shy of the 1987 Guinness World Record for overweight cats. Camden County Animal Control Officer Jim McCleery got the call on Friday. There was a stray cat prowling on a patio in the Ashley Run condominium development. "We picked him up and I knew from the get-go it wouldn't fit in the regular cat carrier, so we had to put him in a dog carrier ... it was a big cat, the biggest one this year," said McCleery, of the Camden County Joint Municipal Animal Control Program.

Addicted to Skateboarding

A pet dog in China is so hooked on skateboarding he has scrapped his daily walk so he can practice.
De Bao followed his owner's son around when he went skateboarding with his friends.
Mr Huang explains: "My son loves skateboarding, and after going out with him for a while, the dog became obsessed with the sport."
To avoid any friction between the pair Mr Huang made a skateboard especially for the dog, who was then seen practicing daily at People's Square in Guangzhou.
De Bao can speed up with his forelegs or hind legs, and is also good at changing directions and stopping.
"When he gets to a high speed, he puts his feet up on the board and enjoys coasting," said Huang's son.
