A pesky pet pig is running hog wild in Adams County. At almost 200 pounds, Kevin Bacon the pig has been hard to catch.
A deer that was struggling in the waters of southeast Alaska’s famed Inside Passage, on Oct. 10, 2023, near Ketchikan, Alaska.ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Two deer struggling in the waters of southeast Alaska’s famed Inside Passage finally made it to land, thanks to two Alaska Wildlife Troopers who gave the deer a lift in their boat.
The deer were about 4 miles from any island in the channel, which is favored by large cruise ships taking tourists in summer months to locations such as Ketchikan and Juneau. “Out in the middle of Clarence, they’re in rough shape, like on their last leg,” Finses said on a video he shot with his phone and that the troopers posted to social media.
When the deer reached the boat, they butted their heads against it, then swam right up the swim step, at which point the troopers helped them get the rest of the way onboard. Once in the boat, the deer shivered from their time in the cold water. The average temperature of the water in Ketchikan in October is 50.4 degrees Fahrenheit , according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
