Strangest Aight: Crane Dance In Florida Sand-Hill Parade
Leva witnessed a sand-hill crane dance on the Indian River shores in Florida. Ten birds performed a quadrille like ritual with one master of ceremonies directing movements. The four-foot creature led, the other birds formed pairs, and even intruders were driven away by a wing flap. The spectacle, described as ghostlike and humorous, drew attention to its lead dancer and the birds’ leaden-gray war plumage.

Fields of Adventure in a Philadelphia Menagerie Incident
A Brazilian anaconda twenty eight feet long escaped a box in a Philadelphia dime museum. It wrapped around a trick pony and crushed the animal to death as watchman Samuel Mosher was dragged to safety with two broken ribs. The serpent was captured after attendants secured its head and tail, while the pony Bucephalanus acted bravely to aid Mosher. Andrew Cameron, a diver, recounted a separate near fatal encounter with a man eating shark off Vera Cruz, saving his life and vowing to undergo treatment in England. A five year old boy in Modoc County heroically steadied runaway horses, stopping the buggy after five miles and escaping serious harm.
