World's Ugliest Shark on Camera, Zoo Animals Hosed Down in 40°C Heat Dome, Council Officer's Viral Threat, Fence Around Reflecting Pool & Artist's Birthday Party Hidden Camera Arrest | Daily Strange

Marine researchers film the so-called "world's ugliest shark" alive in its deep sea habitat for the very first time — thousands of feet below the surface, the rarely-seen creature is already a viral sensation. As the UK bakes under a 40°C heat dome, zookeepers across the country hose down elephants, parrots, hippos, and meerkats to keep them cool — and visitors are turning up just to watch. Council enforcement officer Joseph Fernandes, 38, goes viral after footage shows him threatening a 23-year-old member of the public with being "knocked out" and having his teeth ripped out — his subsequent apology video is widely dismissed as waffling and insincere. A new fence goes up around the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC after vandalism concerns — the move follows an activist being arrested in handcuffs for loudly berating military personnel at the site. And in California, well-known artist and former Cartoon Art Museum curator Andrew Farago is arrested after police discover he secretly installed a hidden camera in his bathroom during his own birthday party, with children and parents among those present — he faces twenty counts of invasion of privacy.Five stories. All real. All strange.The Daily Strange — where truth is always weirder than fiction.
