Animal escape news from the USA

From Harper’s Weekly Review:

In Ohio, two escaped police horses ran down the longest highway in the United States. “Go back to where you came from, please,” said a Texas police officer attempting to wrangle a herd of escaped goats.

From Harper’s Weekly Review:

A fish that measures no more than half an inch was found to produce a sound louder than an elephant, and a new species of sea slug was discovered off the coast of the United Kingdom. Two male humpback whales canoodled off the coast of Hawaii in the first instance of photographed humpback sex.

(Can you say “male whale sex” very fast maybe five times?)
