The week of freaky animal stories continues.
Following the nightmarish report of the Indonesian man eaten by a python earlier this week, now we've got news about a badger burying an entire cow.
After scientists set up cameras to keep tabs on the behavior of scavenger animals in Utah, they were surprised to discover a badger buried a small cow carcass, according to a new study published Friday.
While badgers, which are small, omnivorous mammals, were known to scavenge and store small food items underground, this was the first evidence of the critter storing an animal carcass larger than itself, according to the study, which was led by undergraduate students from the University of Utah.
Florence would not discuss how the fire was started or why, saying those details would be released as the investigation progresses.
WXIA reported Bruner and Thomas were detained but not arrested.
Authorities believe the three are homeless and were living in the vicinity of the fire, Glen Allen, spokesman for the state Fire Marshal's Office, told WXIA.
There were no deaths or injuries in the explosion and fire, but the bridge collapse severed the vital roadway that runs north-south through downtown Atlanta. The interstate carries 250,000 vehicles daily, Georgia transportation commissioner Russell McMurry told USA TODAY.
The fire took place in a storage area underneath the bridge that crosses over Piedmont Road. Miles of the road will be shut down for months for repairs, prompting Gov. Nathan Deal to declare a state of emergency.
