Meerkats like human feet Longleat Safari Park enclosure toe nails visitors warned of interest in feet

The creatures seem to be enjoying their new enclosure in Jungle Kingdom – an enclosure into which visitors can enter and walk among the meerkats – but their foot fascination has forced staff to put up warning signs about their keen interest in feet. Keepers have been kept on their toes and have been on alert over the past week, watching out for the 19 adventurous 'leerkats'. Keeper Catriona Carr said: 'We've had to keep an eye on anybody wearing sandals or flip-flops, especially if they have painted toenails.
'They seem to be more attracted to reds and blues for some reason. We're not entirely sure what it is about the feet. It might be the bright colours of the footwear and toenails, the movement of the toes or even the smell. 'As keepers it certainly keeps us on our toes to make sure the cheeky critters don't nibble any visitor feet!'

Wow-Bar busted for running mouse races


DES MOINES, Iowa - The owner of a tavern in a small town in the state of Iowa who said he ran mouse races on Sundays for fun, was cited by local police for allowing patrons to bet on the rodent running. “It’s a blast,” said Scott Beach, 49, who ran the mouse races at the Bucktail Lodge in Danville, a town of about 900 people, before being cited by the Des Moines County sheriff’s office. “The state’s taking the fun out of it,” he said, adding that he would be pleading not guilty. The sheriff’s office confirmed Friday that Scott Beach and his wife Jan Beach were cited for knowingly permitting criminal activity on licensed premises. Bar patrons pick a mouse for a dollar, and whoever picks the winning mouse gets the payout, Scott Beach explained. He said the tavern made no money out of the betting. Beach said he was told ignorance of the law was no excuse.
The mice run on an eight-foot-long (2.4 meter) flat track, with each mouse racing in its own lane. Asked if he needed to put cheese at the end of the run to tempt the mice forward, Beach said, “No, they’re in their cages all day. They’re ready to run.”
