Authorities closed schools and urged residents to stay in their homes last Wednesday as they tried to round up dangerous animals that escaped an Ohio farm. The animals escaped after their owner opened their cages and then committed suicide, officials said.
Lions, tigers, cheetahs and grizzly bears were among the 48 animals that ran loose last Tuesday near Zanesville in eastern Ohio.
Many of them were shot by authorities after a shoot-to-kill order was issued, but that order was lifted when daybreak came last Wednesday and hunters switched to tranquilizer guns.

Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lut said his deputies had shot dead about 25 animals. One of them was a bear that attacked a law enforcement officer, Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo, told ABC News.
The farm’s owner, Terry Thompson, was found dead on the ground when authorities went to the farm to check on him last Tuesday following reports of animals running free.

官員表示，當局上週三在企圖圍捕從俄亥俄州一座農場脫逃的危險動物的同時，關閉學校並呼籲居民待在家中。這些動物是在牠們的主人打開獸籠接著自殺之後脫逃。
包括獅子、老虎、獵豹與灰熊在內的四十八頭動物，上週二在俄亥俄州東部占茲維爾附近脫逃。
其中不少動物在當局下達格殺勿論令後已遭射殺，但該令在上週三白天解除，獵捕者也改用麻醉槍。
馬斯金岡姆郡警長麥特‧魯茲表示，他手下的警員殺死大約二十五隻動物。哥倫布動物園的榮譽園長傑克‧漢納告訴美國廣播公司新聞說，其中有一頭是攻擊執法人員的熊。
當局上週二接獲動物逃逸報案後趕往農場查看農場主人泰瑞‧湯普森的情況時，發現他已倒地死亡。

Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on. Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
