Meet Chili: Lee Richardson Zoo welcomes giant anteater
GARDEN CITY, Kan. (KSNW) — A young giant anteater named Chili is the latest addition to Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City. The 3-year-old female, who arrived earlier this month from Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California, is slowly being introduced to her new surroundings and is expected to make her public debut later this week. Also known by her Spanish nickname 'Aji,' Chili has been behind the scenes in routine quarantine but was recently introduced to a holding area near her habitat. Zoo officials say she will make her public debut later this week, joining three greater rheas—two of which arrived last fall. Giant anteaters, native to Central and South America, are recognized for their long snouts and tongues used to feed on ants and termites. They lack teeth and rely on formic acid for digestion. Currently classified as Vulnerable, their populations are declining due to habitat loss, fires, and poaching. Doo-Dah Diner owners sell as they face health challenge Chili is part of a Species Survival Plan managed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. About 90 giant anteaters live in nearly 50 accredited zoos across North America. Zoo visitors are encouraged to stop by the South American exhibit to see Chili and learn more about this unique species. For more Kansas news, click here.

Arms deal: Thales and Zuma acquittal applications dismissed
The Pietermaritzburg High Court has dismissed the application for acquittal by former president Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales in the decades-long arms deal corruption case. The Witness reports that Judge Nkosinathi Chili also ruled that the court doesn't have authority to withdraw charges, adding that 'it would be incompetent for the court to grant the relief (permanent stay of prosecution) sought'. He said the state has the exclusive right to stop prosecution. Chili reserved his decision in April after hearing arguments from both parties. Zuma and Thales were seeking a permanent stay of prosecution, claiming that unreasonable delays had prejudiced their right to a fair trial. Thales argued that the deaths of two key witnesses — former company directors Pierre Moynot and Alain Thétard — had crippled its defence. Both men were central to the events surrounding the allegations and were the only Thales directors based in South Africa at the time of the deal. According to court papers, Thales became aware in late 2021 that Moynot had died on January 18, 2021, and that Thétard had died in Germany on September 7, 2022 — although confirmation was only received in 2024. Zuma joined Thales' application, arguing that the state's case against him is 'symbiotically conjoined' with that of Thales. His lawyer, Advocate Dali Mpofu, said the deaths of Moynot and Thétard also weaken Zuma's ability to challenge the evidence against him — particularly in relation to the controversial 'encrypted fax' at the heart of the allegations. In his ruling, Chili said he was not persuaded that Thales and Zuma would suffer irreparable prejudice or that their rights to a fair trial would be compromised if the matter proceeds. Mpofu said it was likely that Zuma would file an application for leave to appeal the ruling, which must be done by June 24. Zuma is accused of accepting bribes from Thales during his tenure as deputy president in the late 1990s. These payments were allegedly facilitated by his former financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, who was convicted of corruption in 2005. Chili agreed with National Prosecuting Authority Advocate Andrew Breitenbach, that the full extent of any potential prejudice could only be assessed once evidence is led at trial. The judge had previously dismissed Zuma's bid to remove lead prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer, as well as a subsequent application for leave to appeal that decision. Mpofu said today that Zuma has since filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Appeal to challenge Judge Chili's ruling. The matter has been adjourned to December 4.

Wendy's Fans Can't Believe the Restaurant Offers This Supersized Option on Menu Items: 'I Want It Soon!'
Wendy's, you've been holding out on us! Leave it to social media to bless us with a tip we would've never found out about on our own. Wendy's fans will be delighted to hear that there's a way to get a family-size portion of some of your favorite menu items from the restaurant. According to food influencer @snackbetch, the burger joint offers buckets of their nuggets, French fries and chili. Related: "Fun Fact: You can order a entire bucket of Wendy's Nuggets, French Fries, and Chili! Check your local restaurant but a ton of locations will do it if you ask for the family size nuggets or fries in the 'family bucket,'" they wrote. Before you rush out to your local Wendy's, it's worth noting that the family bucket option isn't available at every Wendy's. Regardless, fans are still pretty eager to get their hands on a bucket of nuggets, French fries or chili. "If my locations have these, i would totally get them and split it with my little brother," read one comment on Instagram. "Even though Wendys Messed up our orders the other day I'm down😂🔥," another person chimed in. Related: There does seem to be some concern from at least one person about the food in the buckets getting cold. "Hopefully they put a hothands heating packet at the bottom cuz my local Wendy's basically served their biggie bags with cold fries and nuggets," they wrote. Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but we can only imagine how amazing one of Wendy's chili buckets would be on a crisp fall day. But in the meantime, a bucket of French fries will do!
