Hunters kill record-breaking alligator after all-night battle
Hunters and the alligator
Hunters have killed the longest alligator ever found in Mississippi – more than 4.3m (14ft 3in) and weighing 364kg (57 stone).
The local wildlife department said the male was “harvested” on the Yazoo River and that its length was a state record.
It congratulated the four men who hunted the animal, Tanner White, Don Woods, Will Thomas and Joey Clark.
Pictures on Facebook show them measuring the alligator with the animal’s huge head turned towards to the camera.
Mr Woods said the battle to capture and kill the alligator began at 9pm and lasted seven hours through the night, resulting in multiple broken fishing lines.
“He dictated everything we did. It was exhausting, but your adrenaline is going so you don’t notice it,” Mr Woods told the Clarion Ledger.
“It was more mentally exhausting than anything because he kept getting off.”
The animal was caught at the weekend – at the start of Mississippi’s hunting season – a 10-day window during which permit holders can hunt a specified number of alligators in each area. -Sky News
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
