Beavers busy at the Mall at Turtle Creek

 

In his job as prosecuting attorney for the 2nd Judicial District, Scott Ellington helps take a bite out of crime every day.

But it wasn’t Ellington that took a bite out of this tree.

Instead, it was beavers.

The District Attorney snapped this photo of a tree snapped in two pieces behind Dillard’s at the Mall at Turtle Creek and shared it on his Twitter account (@Scott_Ellington).

Chris sent these photos of a baby white owl that had fallen out of its nest a few months ago.

Unusual visitor

Andrew Neighbors of Jonesboro had an unusual visitor to his home recently.

He tells Your Region 8 he spotted this "pink-eyed white beauty" one night in his backyard.

It's an albino raccoon.

Apparently the 'coon liked what he found in the Neighbors' yard, because he came back the next night!

Have an cool photo or video you would like to share with Your Region 8?

Send it along with the details, including where you live, to pdavis@kait8.com.
