Chinese boat found with 270 illegal crocodiles
BEJING Chinese police tracking a suspicious vessel on a border river in southwest China got a shock when they found 270 crocodiles, a state news agency reported Monday.
Xinhua News Agency said the seizure was the largest this year in Guangxi region.
Border police noticed the boat trying to land on the Chinese side of the Beilun River,which marks the border with Vietnam, early on Sunday.
Xinhua said four people carried bags off the boat, but jumped into the river and swam away when they saw the police.
It said police found that the bags and other bags on the boat contained 270 crocodiles, which are on China's wildlife protection list.
Xinhua quoted the border police as saying the crocodiles eventually were destined for underground leather factories to be made into shoes and bags.

Colorado chihuahua fights rattlesnake — and lives
MASONVILLE, Colo. --- Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners'
1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.
Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the blites.
"She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather.
The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.
"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit," Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter Herald.

Pair tries to evade charge on horseback
CULPEPER, Va. — They weren't charged with drunken driving, but police said two people now charged with public drunkenness did try to evade capture on horseback.
They were caught when one was knocked off his horse after riding into a utility wire and the other fell off her horse, police said.
On Saturday night, witnesses asked a man to stop urinating on the side of a convenience store because children were nearby. said Culpeper police Sgt. Scott Jenkins.
When Officer Jeff Dodson arrived at the scene, witnesses told him the man and a woman had left on horseback, Jenkins said. Dodson caught up to them on a nearby street, but the riders fled through a backyard, he said. That was when they both fell off their horses.
