Bear trapped using doughnuts after a soak in hot tub

A Florida bear seen enjoying a resident's hot tub and taking a long backyard nap was later captured and relocated with the help of doughnuts.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the bear was spotted in a Punta Gorda neighborhood on Sunday.

The bruin was caught on camera taking a soak in a resident's hot tub before removing the cushions from an outdoor couch and taking a six hour nap in the backyard.

FWC personnel used hazing techniques to encourage the bear to leave the property, and it ended up scaling a tree in a nearby vacant lot.

The bear descended from the tree Monday and was ensnared in a trap baited with doughnuts, the FWC said.

Wildlife officers said the bear was relocated to a state park near Punta Gorda.

World's largest game of red light, green light played in California

A fitness education group in California broke a Guinness World Record by gathering 1,423 people to play the playground game red light, green light.

CF Fitness Inc., an education-oriented group aimed at promoting physical fitness at schools, gathered students from the Anaheim Elementary School District and their families to play the record-breaking game at Yorbe Park in Anaheim.

The participants also included students who traveled in from other districts, as well as local firefighters, police officers and city officials.

The game ended up breaking the record with 1,423 participants.

"It was definitely an afternoon filled with lots of energy and I think my face hurt from smiling so much," Guinness Records Adjudicator Brittany Dunn said after the successful attempt.

"The children were all really great and so eager to participate. I loved that [they] all took the attempt so seriously, and one of the older police officers present decided he wanted to participate in the game as well, which made the children happy — and I thought was a great reminder that even adults need play in their lives, too," she said.

New York restaurant returns 110-year-old lobster to the sea

A 21-pound lobster estimated to be 110 years old was released back into the open sea by a New York seafood restaurant.

Butch Yamali, owner of Peter's Clam Bar in Hempstead, Long Island, said the lobster, named Lorenzo, has been living at the eatery for years.

"Lorenzo just kind of slipped through the cracks and ended up in our tank for years," Yamali told WPIX-TV.

He said freeing Lorenzo seemed like an appropriate way to celebrate National Lobster Day and Father's Day.

"Some of these lobsters just don't live that long, and this one did. So we figured what better way to celebrate Father's Day than by freeing Lorenzo. He became like a pet. People would come see him and take pictures with him, and he was just an object of the store," Yamali said.

Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti teamed up with Peter's Clam Bar to "pardon" Lorenzo prior to his release at the Atlantic Beach Reef.

"He's now living his best life — clawing his way to freedom and soaking up the salty breeze (instead of butter)," the restaurant said in a Facebook post.

Lemur at Scottish zoo named the world's oldest at 39

A ring-tailed lemur living at a zoo in Scotland was officially named the oldest in the world by Guinness World Records at the age of 39.

The lemur at Five Sisters Zoo in West Lothian was officially certified as the oldest living lemur in captivity this week.

The primate, named Stumpy as a result of his slightly shortened tail, was born in June 1986 in Surrey, England, and has lived at Five Sisters Zoo since 2005.

"Stumpy's birthday is a big event. He celebrates with his sons and enjoys a bit of birthday cake made from special primate pellet," Gemma Varley, senior animal keeper at the zoo, told Guinness World Records.

Stumpy has fathered 11 lemurs, and has 25 grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.

Lemurs in captivity typically live 20-25 years, officials said.
