Signs that read “Deer Crossing” and the like are going to continue to pop up throughout our country including Avon Lake, but who are these signs for? Deer cannot read, do not obey the law and probably will cross where they wish.

Dinosaurs may have wooed potential mates with flashy feathers, peacock style. Researchers have discovered lengthy wisps on a sexually mature adult, but absent in the toddler specimen of the same dinosaur species.
This illustration is just … too much. Side note: The name “Dinosaur Feathers” would automatically earn your band a Best New Music on Pitchfork.

Boulder’s famous ‘falling bear’ died after being hit by car on U.S. 36
The bear famously tranquilized on the University of Colorado campus last week, and immortalized in a viral photo by CU student Andy Duann, met a tragic death early Thursday in the Denver-bound lanes of U.S. 36.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said a 280-pound black bear that died on U.S. 36 after being hit by a car at about 5:40 a.m. Thursday was the same bear that became known worldwide last week after wandering onto the CU campus near the Williams Village dorm complex.

Poor guy. Reader sleepswithangels tipped us off to the plight his cousin’s dog, Andy Appleton, has been facing of late. “He was diagnosed with cancer this month and my cousins need help with vet bills,” he writes. “We’re in the early stages of fundraising and we’re relying a whole lot on the tumblr community for publicity.” If you’d like to learn how to give Andy a little help (and see some more photos of the little fella), head over this way.
We know how you feel, macaque. That must’ve been an awful 48 hours for you. :(

Animals are pretty good at escaping from zoos in New York: Yesterday, a peacock escaped from Central Park Zoo. It flew away, perched on this Fifth Avenue apartment window, and took a nap. After it woke up, it flew back to the zoo. Not exactly the next summer blockbuster, huh? source
