Weird news - Kid died in hot car, father charged

It is an accident, something that no parent would want to happen. At the same time, it would seem as a lot of common sense that a car will quickly get hot when left in the open, and anybody left in the car would quickly become uncomfortable in the vehicle and given enough time, suffocate in the heat. This is more problematic when a child is left in the car and because of their inability to help themselves, suffer the heat and some of them even die. In such cases, even if the parent would most likely have forgot the child in the car, the child died and this is a crime (link to article):

A Mississippi man has been charged with second-degree murder after he left his 8-month-old daughter in an overheated car while he went to work. Joshua Lewis Blunt left the child in the vehicle outside the restaurant where he works for “some period of time,” Grenada Deputy Police Chief George Douglas told the Clarion-Ledger.

Weird news - Alligator on the road

One of the animals that most people are scared of are large reptiles such as snakes and alligators. However, there are plenty of places where people do come into contact with such reptiles, especially when they live in a place where there are a large number of such predators. For people living in the Amazon rain forest, there is the potential to come into contact with wild animals; for people living in the Sunderbans, there is the ever present danger of coming into contact with a tiger. In the US, Florida is the place where people have the highest possibility of coming into contact with reptiles - for example, there are so many cases where house pools have found alligators in them which have then had to be removed. In this case, on the road, there is this large alligator and you would be scared seeing this pretty large alligator (especially if you were walking or cycling on the road) (link to article):

An unusually large alligator was found wandering on a road in Florida, USA, during the ongoing gator mating season. The Florida Highway Patrol said troopers received a surprise on Sunday morning when they spotted the massive reptile taking a stroll along a highway, next to a chain link fence. The alligator was spotted at the appropriately named Alligator Alley of Interstate 75 in Collier County. While writing about the incident on social media, officials quipped that the gator at least obeyed traffic rules. "Way to at least stay in the grass shoulder and out of the travel lanes," Florida Highway Patrol joked on Twitter while sharing a picture of the alligator looking up the fence.
