Acoording to Packard, he had intered the water when he felt a job and everything just went dark. At first he thought SHARK ATTACK but he didn't feel the teeth. Then it hit him - he was in a whale's mouth. It seemed that the whale was strying to swallow him. He was in the mouth for 30-40 seconds and because of his breathing equiopment, he was able to breath.

 A Giant Kesgrave Tortoise wandered in a town for a mile before being picked up by the police. It was named Titan after the race of mythical Greek Gods.  He was found in Kesgrave near Ipswich and weighed a gigantic 60 kg. It took 3 officers to lift into the van and drive it home to the dumbfounded owner. According to the owner Titan had not broken through his shelter so it is a mystery how the 35 year old tortoise got out. The owner once even thought that he teleported!!! Suffolk Police said they were called by a member of the public to reports of the giant tortoise on the loose in Dr Watson's Lane in the town, at about 14:25. Dr Watson's Lane  is around a mile from his own home. Maybes  he got his inner Titan power to do it for him Credit to Gregory Moine for the photo

They were jumping in and out of bushes in a homeowners garden in Bedfordshire who watched they whole scene.

There are further complications from having a chair attached to their backs. This chair rubs on their backs, causing blisters that can become infected. Wild elephants generally won't let humans ride on top of them. In order to tame a wild elephant, it is tortured as a baby to completely break its spirit. The process is called Phajaan, or “the crush”. Greyhound Dogs Killed for Being too Slow Another example of animal cruelty is when Greyhound’s race.
