Weddings, animals, and oops . . .


From India comes this report of pachydermic pandemonium.

An elephant hired for a Hindu wedding in India caused over £200,000 [almost US $300,000] in damage after trying to reach an in-heat female.

The turned-on mammal crushed 20 limos trying to get to the female in a nearby sugar cane field in the Indian capital New Delhi.

He then mounted and attempted to mate with a truck, and smashed through a shopping mall in a 15-hour rampage, reports the Metro.

Wildlife experts managed to finally bring him down with a tranquilliser gun to end the elephant's chaotic adventure.

One expert said: "It is a very powerful urge."


No s***, Sherlock!!!

Two randy young men in Mozambique have a somewhat different wedding-animal problem . . . how to avoid ending up hitched to the critter in question!

TWO young men accused of having sex with a goat in central Mozambique were facing criminal charges, and the goat's owner was demanding they make traditional wedding arrangements, state media said today.

The young men, whose names and ages were not released, were caught in the act by police and arrested outside the rural town of Mbucuta in central Mozambique, the website of the state broadcaster said.

"One of the young men was naked and holding the goat's head, and the other was having sex with the animal," witness Mario Creva told Radio Mozambique.

District prosecutor Leonides Mapasse said the two would face trial for simple larceny.

The goat's owner may also file a civil suit against them, he said.

The owner was demanding the young men pay him damages and initiate a traditional wedding ceremony by paying "lobolo," a dowry, a family member told Radio Mozambique.


Hmm . . . at least they don't have to pay the bride price for an elephant!
