Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

CONWAY, Ark. (AP) -- When a black bear climbed a tree in a central Arkansas city and refused to come down, authorities turned to unconventional rescue tools: bouncy houses and high pressure hoses.

Foster the Bear (who was named for the residential street where he holed himself up in a tree) straddled himself up in the branch of a tree and wouldn't budge.

Officials shot Foster with tranquilizer darts on Monday, causing him to fall asleep. They inflated two bouncy houses – the kind usually reserved for children's birthday parties – and set them up beneath the tree. After the bear fell asleep, firefighters let loose with water from a fire hose, knocking the bear from his perch. The edge of the inflatable houses broke Foster's fall.

Foster wasn't hurt and wildlife officials plan to release him back into the wild.

LARGO, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida man is charged with felony drunken driving and wildlife violations after police discovered a small monkey in his truck.

Largo Police say Eugene Kotelman was speeding when they stopped him Thursday. He was driving on a suspended license and had been previously charged numerous times with driving on a suspended license and DUI.
Officers noticed a "small monkey" in Kotelman's truck and released the primate to his friend.

After Kotelman was released on bond from the DUI charge, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers charged him with possession of wildlife and two counts of violating fish and wildlife rules. They took custody of the monkey.

TOKYO, Japan - A 64-year-old Tokyo woman is a big fan of birds as pets. She had lost a pet bird before and was determined to prevent it from happening again - so she taught her pet budgie Piko-chan to repeat where she lived, right down to the house number.

This came in handy when the baby-blue bird flew from its owner's home in Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, into a nearby hotel where it perched on the shoulder of a guest. After being caught by police, the bird stayed silent for three days before it started squawking its address. Using the bird’s language, the police were able to track down Piko-chan’s owner and return her home.
