An escaped flamingo has been spotted 17 years after it flew away from zoo in Kansas. The flamingo, who has been nicknamed Pink Floyd, was seen at Rhodes Point, a cape located in the eastern part Calhoun County, Texas. It was walking on a strip of land in the cape’s Cox Bay, near Port Lavaca. Pink Floyd and another flamingo escaped from their enclosures after a storm hit their zoo in June 2005.
‘Magnetic turd’ could be used in humans
Scientists have created a “magnetic turd” that could be used in human digestive systems, according to the New Scientist.
