She doesn’t scare easily
Texas A&M graduate Makenzie Noland showed off her unusual graduation pictures on her Facebook page recently. The Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] says the photos show that she is ready, willing and able to use her newly acquired Wildlife & Fisheries Sciences degree to land her dream job at a zoo. They show her in cap-and-down romping with Big Tex, a nearly 14-foot alligator. She calls the gator “one of my best friends” at the local wildlife sanctuary where she has been interning.

You don’t want to mess with this nonagenarian. She’s 95-years-old and tough as nails, as she proved when she single-handedly bested a black bear that invaded her kitchen in British Columbia recently, not once but twice in the same day, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The second time the bear paid Anna Stady an unwelcome visit she told him off. “Well, now I was really cross with him, and I told him so. I said ‘I’m really angry with you. Go home and don’t come back.’ I guess he believed me, because as far as I know, he hasn’t been back,”
