BREAKING: Ferret Escapes From Alligator Jaws

A ferret has leapt to safety from the jaws of a ravenous alligator, escaping what would surely have been a gruesome death.

Authorities on the scene report no injuries, and the alligator has been taken into cust…

UPDATE: The Fluffington Post has received word that it is in fact a plush alligator, and that the ferret willingly entered the jaws because it “seems cozy in there,” according to eye-witnesses.

We regret this error, and retract our previous report.

New Chevy Impalas Use 100% Less Gasoline

According to a company press release, Chevrolet’s latest Impala sedans will use 100% less gasoline than previous models of the vehicle.  The new cars will mostly be powered by grasses, fruit and leaves, and require about 1-2 hours of grazing time each day to stay fully charged. 

Critics are praising Chevrolet’s innovative approach to greening its fleet, but complain that the ride is a bit bumpy and that the new model tops out at about 30mph.  Chevy claims the 2013 Impalas are clearly not for highway driving, but are perfectly suited for local transportation needs.

Baby Kangaroo Travels in Style

Sources tell The Fluffington Post that a baby kangaroo in a wildlife preserve in New South Wales, Australia has been spotted traveling around in his mother’s front pocket.  Initial reports were met with skepticism by the mainstream media, yet photographic evidence lends credence to this interesting phenomenon.  

Naturalists, however, claim that the pocket is actually called a “pouch” and all baby kangaroos are toted around by their mothers in this manner.  It’s actually rather unspectacular.  Ah well.

Monkey Effortlessly Embodies Windblown Look

The Javan langur is one of the most stylish primates.  Known for their trademark golden fur and effortless windblow hair, the langurs are one of the few high fashion, Old World monkeys left.  "They make it look easy,“ says monkey stylist Omar Legler, "but trust me: it’s anything but.  It takes literally years of training at a Javan fashion school to look that good.”

Baby Bear Diagnosed With Social Anxiety

Baby Bear Diagnosed With Social Anxiety

Bear psychologists have diagnosed a local cub with social anxiety disorder after he exhibited extreme shyness around others.

“Sometimes cubbies can be a little awkward around their peers, but most will grow out of it,” says Dr. Jane Camping.  "But a bear with social anxiety may have setbacks – he won’t be able to eat at the cool kids table, or will be too shy to ask a girl to the Spring Fling dance. So it’s good to diagnose that early on.“
