The other day on the news they were talking about some dude they arrested for keeping a selection of animals in his home. (and they were not well kept)
I can't find a link to any news articles.. but he had something along the line of... 5 alligators, a 3ft round tortoise in his bathtub, and electric eel, 2 or 3 gnu's .... and well a host of others. Dargonit, wish I had a link for ya.

Of course when I heard tortoise in the bathtub I immediatly thought of you.

The best link I could come uo with so far is "Panda bites man, man bites panda"
