Firefighters Bring Homeowner's 150-pound Tortoise Inside To Escape Freezing Temperatures

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX/Gray News) - Firefighters in Texas helped a homeowner get their longtime pet tortoise inside during some dangerous cold temperatures earlier this week.

On Monday, the College Station Fire Department was called to a house to help move Jack, a 150-pound, 24-year-old tortoise from his outside shed to inside the home.

The Adair family said they have had Jack since he was a baby and they have made improvements to his habitat over the years, but they wanted to get him inside as temperatures dipped below freezing.

"We made his shelter more winter-proof this time but just with it being so much colder than it usually is we wanted to move him inside," Laura Adair said.

With the help of a recycling bin, firefighters were able to load Jack up from his backyard pen and get him inside.

Adair added she'll probably rely on her boyfriend and his brother to get Jack back outside once it warms up.

The family said they are grateful for the firefighters taking the time to help them.

Yes, you read that right - and the side hustle has become so successful, Chas is now cashing in an astronomical £172k a year, all thanks to her cat and tortoise.

According to the travelling enthusiast, believed to be from the USA, she had created a social media page for every single one of her pets - and in just one year, these grew over a whopping 1million followers.

Looking to make some extra money in 2024? Here are Chas' top five tips to get you started...

Quality

According to the pet fanatic, one of the most ''impactful'' elements here is upping the quality game - this is key on social media platforms, such as Instagram.

She instructed in her informative clip: ''We're going to change your phone settings to 4K 60fps.

''You're always going to wipe your lens before filming and you're going to try to film in front of a window or natural lighting when you can.''

Chas explained that there's no need to fork out for ''the most expensive gear or the newest phone to do this'' - it's all about knowing these ''little'' yet effective tricks.

Find a purpose of the content

It's not just the quality that matters - according to Chas, figuring out the purpose of the videos is just as essential.

This can range from inspiring, entertaining or even educating.

''You're not just going to see me slap on audio a random video. If you scroll through my page, every single video that I post has some sort of purpose to it.''

Research & brainstorm

''Now, I'm not saying to just go and straight up copy someone cause that's really lame.

''But you can use it to help brainstorm some ideas.''

Sharing her advice, Chas added that she likes to keep notes in her phone, where she pens down anything she's come up with.

''Writing these ideas down will get easier over time.''

Post three times a week

According to Chas, posting every day - and even multiple times a day - can be ''very intimidating''.

And although you may think this will help the audience grow, it's the very opposite, she added, advising to stick to just three set days per week.

Pitch to brands

''You're not going to wait for brands to approach you,'' said Chas, instead advising to pitch and negotiate the ideas yourself.

''All of this money came from brand sponsorships - and pitching is easier than ever with CHATGPT.''

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a...

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m...
