CHINA

More than 1,000 cultural relics have been unearthed from the 1,000-year-old Wulong Palace, a ruin in central China’s Hubei Province, amid more than two years of excavation.

The recovered relics include pottery, porcelain, copper, iron, wood and ceramics.

“China has other ancient Taoism-inspired complexes, but this one is the most representative one since it was built deep in the mountains and so was largely left alone,” said Xu Yitao, an architectural archaeologist in Beijing.

A fisherman reeled in more than he bargained for after angling a 67.4 pound goldfish.

The monster fish was pulled out of the water of Champagne by Brit Andy Hackett.

The goldfish was already known to area locals as The Carrot. Photo and video of Hackett holding the fish immediately went viral on social media. Carrot, however, was not destined for the dinner plate and Hackett released him back into the wild.

AUSTRALIA

Australian snake wranglers in Brighton, Queensland, rescued a venomous snake trapped inside a beer can.

The red-bellied black snake did not seek out the can of Victoria Bitter for a drink, but a dead frog inside.

Rescuers from Brisbane North Snake Catchers and Relocation estimated the snake had been stuck in the can for a few days.

MEXICO
