'Finally We Got Him!': 'Punk' Duck Nabbed After Terrorizing Florida Community
A Florida community can breathe easy now that a local rogue known for stalking and attacking residents has been apprehended. Jimmy, a Muscovy duck, was captured this week in the Cape Coral neighborhood he had held hostage by his acts of terror. Prior to being caught, Jimmy had attacked multiple people, local news station Fox 4 Now reported earlier this month. Neighborhood resident James Sepulveda described sitting on his porch, 'eyes closed,' when he suddenly 'felt a jab' on his hand and realized Jimmy had bitten him and drawn blood. In video footage from the news outlet, Sepulveda can be seen opening his door a crack to see Jimmy standing just outside. The man then says the duck is 'waiting' for him. Jimmy even chased Fox 4 reporter Bella Line while she attempted to report on his misdeeds. Muscovy ducks are native to Central and South America, Mexico and some parts of Texas. While the ducks are seen in the wild throughout Florida, they are a non-native species in the state. It's legal in Florida to capture 'nuisance' Muscovy ducks, but illegal to release them back to the wild because they can 'can transmit diseases to or interbreed with Florida's native waterfowl,' according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. After Jimmy's story went viral, animal rescuer Mark Quadrozzi of Remarkable Rescues stepped up with a solution that would work for humans and duck alike. This week, Quadrozzi managed to catch Jimmy and relocate him to his animal sanctuary more than 200 miles away in Ocala, where the bird can join a flock of other Muscovy ducks. Sepulveda was thrilled with the news. 'Finally we got him!' he said, per Fox 35 Orlando. The news outlet noted that it wasn't clear whether Jimmy was the only unruly duck in the area, or if others could remain. Quadrozzi believes that Jimmy, who is about 3 to 4 months old, was probably raised by people and abandoned. He also said the duck's age and sex explain a lot about his behavior. 'This is a young male,' Quadrozzi told Fox 4. 'Yes, and that's why he's being such a punk.'

Ricky Gervais admits that he always Googles his symptoms
The 63-year-old comedian confessed to researching his symptoms online and jumping to conclusions about the worst-case scenarios Ricky Gervais has spoken about his health woes, explaining that he's 'reminded every day' of his situation. The 63-year-old comedian said everything is 'sort of slower' and 'aches more', even when just walking downstairs. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, he also confessed to Googling his symptoms, often leading him to the worst-case scenario. "Now, this is as good as it will ever be, it's not like I'll get better, do you know what I mean?" he said to Jimmy. "Like they won't go, 'Oh, he's 70 now, he was terrible at 60,' but this is it... I'm reminded every day that I'm getting older. Everything is just sort of slower, aches more. "When I get up in the morning, right, when I walk downstairs, it's like I've got false legs. Do you know what I mean? Not like false legs today, bionic - like pirate legs. Stiff. It just hurts." He later added: "What happens is I wake up and I go, 'Oh I've got a lump or a pain' and I go to Jane, 'What do you think that is?' She goes, 'Go to the doctor' and I go 'What, do you think it's serious?' She goes 'No, I don't know'. "So I Google it, right? Whatever it is... put in the symptoms and the first few are all right. Could be stress, course, could be this, could be diet, and I go, 'Oh that's great, that's great, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.' And then I just push my luck and number seven [says] cancer. I go 'Jane, I'm dying'." Ricky certainly isn't alone in these habits. Figures suggest that Brits consulted 'Dr Google' almost 50 million times in 2022, according to Benenden Health. Although it's tempting to self-diagnose this way, experts suggest it may lead to an incorrect result while inducing more panic. In 2023, Cheryl Lythgoe, Matron at Benenden Health, said: "It's of little surprise to see that physical health is leading the way as one of the most search for health terms, as throughout the COVID-19 pandemic many people have become more conscious of their health. What's concerning is the apparent reliance on Google for this information, possibly leading to an incorrect self-diagnosis or panic. "When there's a long wait for doctor's appointments it's easy to get impatient and the ability to self-diagnose via the internet can for some be too tempting. If you are looking for advice online, I would recommend visiting trusted sources such as the NHS website as a first port of call to ensure the advice is from experts and more likely to be accurate. "However at the first signs of illness, it's always best to consult a pharmacist or a GP. This will ensure the correct treatment, if necessary, is sought." Despite his health fears, Ricky told Jimmy that going to a doctor feels like 'admin' and he'll only do it every 10 years when situations seem especially dire. In fact, he's previously taken matters into his own hands, once dangerously attempting to remove a skin tag from his eyelid at home. "You know those skin tags you get? ...I had one on my eyelid and it looked f*****, so I cut it off with a pair of nail scissors," he said. "I was gnawing through it with these little nail scissors, and it was bleeding. "I came downstairs, [I said], 'I'm bleeding,' and [Jane] said, 'What did you do?', I said 'I cut it off'. She went, 'Are you f***ing mad? You could get sepsis.' So, I just sort of got loads of Savlon everywhere."

Roadies XX's Yogesh Sharma Calls Rhea Chakraborty His ‘Favourite Gang' Leader
Last Updated: Kushal Tanwar, fondly known as Gullu, secured a direct spot in the finale by winning the crucial "Ticket to Finale" challenge Reality television favourite Roadies XX continues to grip viewers with its intense drama, surprise twists and powerful personal journeys. As the show races towards its much-anticipated grand finale, emotions are running high among contestants and fans alike. In a recent episode, Kushal Tanwar, fondly known as Gullu, secured a direct spot in the finale by winning the crucial 'Ticket to Finale" challenge. Meanwhile, the journey came to an emotional end for Yogesh Sharma and Jimmy, who were eliminated in a decision they called 'very unfair." In an interview with The Times of India, both evicted contestants opened up about their journey on Roadies XX, from building bonds with fellow participants and gang leaders to coping with the emotional highs and lows of the competition. Yogesh, in particular, spoke candidly about his unexpected elimination, pointing to the role of his gang leader, Rhea Chakraborty, as a pivotal factor in the outcome. 'Even though I wasn't very happy with Rhea ma'am's decision to send me and Jimmy home, she will still remain my favourite gang leader," he said. Yogesh recalled his earlier Roadies attempt, where things didn't go his way. 'Last season, Prince sir chose me, but I still couldn't go on the journey. But this time, I was a part of the journey because of Rhea ma'am, and hence she will remain my favourite gang leader." He also reflected on the moment he was evicted and expressed a deep sense of disappointment. 'When Rhea ma'am chose to evict me Jimmy, to save Rohit, I was very sad. I felt like why didn't she have faith in me and had to remove me from the game. It was a very sad moment for me and my close ones. I've a lot of respect for Rhea ma'am, but what happened with me was extremely unfair," Yogesh remarked. He went on to describe how his family reacted to watching his elimination. 'When my mom and dad watched the episode, they were very sad. However, in the previous season, Prince sir didn't choose me in the last round, and this time it was Rhea ma'am who took me on the journey, and I'm very grateful for that." Jimmy, who was also shown the door in the same episode, got emotional as he discussed the circumstances of his departure. Unlike his first elimination, which he described as deeply painful, this time his exit was an act of selflessness. 'The first time that I got evicted was really very sad for me, and I really wanted to go forward in the show. However, this time was different, as I sacrificed my journey with my own choice for Rohit," he explained. Jimmy also touched upon an emotional moment involving Rhea. 'I saw Rhea ma'am crying, and that was really tough to watch. I've no regrets, as I did what felt right in my heart." As Roadies XX inches closer to its explosive finale, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the remaining contestants fare in the last leg of the competition. With Gullu from Elvish's gang (formerly Gautam's gang) securing his place in the finale, the stage is set for more fierce battles, emotional highs, and perhaps a few more surprises before the winner is finally crowned.

Feisty duck relocated after ruffling feathers in Florida neighborhood
The Brief A young Muscovy duck known for aggressive behavior was removed from a Cape Coral neighborhood. Animal rescuers relocated the hand-raised duck, now named Jimmy, to an Ocala sanctuary. Locals expressed relief, calling the bird and others like it "vicious." OCALA, Fla. - A Muscovy duck that gained internet fame for terrorizing a Cape Coral neighborhood has found a new home in Central Florida. What we know A Muscovy duck that was reportedly harassing residents in a Cape Coral neighborhood has been safely captured and relocated to an animal sanctuary in Ocala. The duck, now named "Jimmy," was taken in by Mark Quadrozzi of Remarkable Rescues after gaining viral attention on social media for its aggressive behavior. Quadrozzi estimates Jimmy is three to four months old and was likely hand-raised. What we don't know It remains unclear who originally raised or released the duck in the Cape Coral neighborhood. Officials have not confirmed whether other aggressive ducks remain in the area or if any future wildlife removal plans are in place. The backstory Residents in the neighborhood had been dealing with the duck's hostile behavior for some time, with reports of people being pecked and chased. Male Muscovy ducks are known to be more aggressive than females, which may explain the confrontations. Once the story aired and video footage spread online, it attracted the attention of animal rescuers. Big picture view Though native to Central and South America, Muscovy ducks are commonly found in Florida, where their presence sometimes leads to friction with the locals. After a local news story aired and footage of the feisty duck spread on social media, an animal sanctuary in Ocala stepped in to relocate the bird. Mark Quadrozzi with Remarkable Rescues drove to Cape Coral and successfully captured the duck, which has since been named "Jimmy." "You're just kind of at the mercy of what they're going to do that day," Quadrozzi said of the unpredictable behavior of Muscovy ducks. "Even if somebody knows a particular animal's schedule from their observations, each day." It took more than an hour of searching before the young male duck, estimated to be about three to four months old, was safely taken into custody. Quadrozzi believes Jimmy was likely raised by humans. "When you have a duck that actually wants to make physical contact with a person like that, but in a way with its beak, that's more of a social thing, it's kind of a given that it was hand raised by someone," he said. Residents in the neighborhood have reported injuries and aggressive behavior, particularly from male Muscovy ducks, which Quadrozzi says are generally less gentle than females. Cape Coral resident James Sepulveda expressed relief over the removal. "Finally we got him!" he said. "But I'm happy they are getting rid of ducks in this area, because they are vicious." What's next The duck will take up residence among other Muscovy ducks at the Ocala sanctuary.
