A 61-year old illegal drug dealer,
Patricia Lynette Wright, came
unstuck this week, after
forgetting her bagged stash at a
ferry terminal in Picton, NZ.
The bag, containing 20 grams of
cannabis, was handed into police
by a member of the public shortly
after it was discovered abandoned.
Not long after arriving at the
police station, a phone inside the
bag began to ring.
Police told the male caller that
the lost bag was in police custody.
Arriving at the police station to
collect her belongings, Wright
had not bargained on the police
looking at the contents of the
bag, and was arrested within
minutes of admitting the
contents were hers.
STRESS can harm opossums too.
Heidi, the world’s most famous
opossum, who became a
worldwide sensation when
photos of her cross-eyed self
were placed on the internet, is set
to retire from the limelight.
According to Leipzig Zoo in
Germany where she lives, Heidi’s
high profile lifestyle, may in fact
be too stressful for her age.
During her public career Heidi
garnered thousands of Facebook
friends, and even helped to cohost
the Oscars via a live cross
into her enclosure.
Her concerned keepers however
have stepped in now that Heidi
has reached the ripe old age of
three and a half, saying the
showbiz doyen needs to withdraw
from the public eye for her
health’s sake.
Normally opossums in the wild
only live up to three years, but in
captivity they can live up to five.
To facilitate the diva’s long life,
keepers have even removed her
from her breeding partner Teddy,
so that he will not bother her
with any pesky procreation.
“We do not want to give her
any added stress,” keepers said.
