As to the habits of the animal there are a multitude

three years on the mountain, but few people ever

thaw in winter it appeared by its tracks to have

Togus Pond fish
By DOUG VANDERWEIDE
Staff Writer
AUGUSTA - It isn't a trout horribly
mutated by acid rain. It isn't a prehistoric
critter, in the Loch Ness mode, risen from the
dark depths of Togus Pond.
But the hideous-looking fish pulled from
Togus Pond certainly isn't anything that
belongs there, according to a state biologist: it's
a sea robin, a creature more at home on the
bottom of the Atlantic Ocean than tiny
Togus.
Department of Marine Resources biologist
Lewis Flagg confirmed on Tuesday that the
18-inch, 22-3 pound fish with a huge head and
humanlike skin is a sea robin, a fish native to
the Gulf of Maine.
The sea robin originally believed caught by
two young boys - was hooked by 17-year-old
Randy Sidelinger of Chelsea, who was fishing
with his 18-year-old brother Greg early Friday
evening.
"My brother saw it, then we put a worm
77
there and it took it, and we reeled it in,'
Randy said. "It wasn't even a fight."
"It was really ugly," he said.
a sea robin
They couldn't figure out what they had
caught, so they took the fish to nearby
Abbott's Market. A store clerk called in a local
fisherman, who later contacted Game Warden
Lloyd Perkins.
Perkins showed the fish to Flagg, who
identified it as a sea robin, a groundfish
commonly found in 250-500 feet of sea water.
Reddish-brown through gray in color, they use
their fins for walking on the bottom and are
scaleless. They are voracious eaters, and bury
themselves in bottom sand when threatened.
Although edible, the fish's unsightly
appearance makes them a poor food fish, and
those dragged up by trawlers are often sold as
lobster bait.
Flagg believes the fish may have been put in
Togus Pond a while back, and, because of cold
water, has been able to survive.
"I was told that it could (live in fresh water)
for a period of days, to maybe possibly several
weeks, depending on water temperatures,"
Flagg said. "In cold water their metabolism is
slower, so they might live longer."
The fish also could live in the shallow water
of lower Togus Pond because sea robins enter
shallow sea water at different times of the year,
Flagg said.
There have been reports that a second sea
robin was taken from the pond, according to
Perkins, but that rumor has not been
confirmed.
Randy Sidelinger said he knows some people
are claiming the incident is a hoax, but he's not
trying to pull a scam. He insists he hasn't fished
at the ocean before.
"All I know is, it was ugly," he said.
In any event, people need not worry about
Togus Pond becoming infested with ugly
seaborne fish, Flagg said. Their eggs are not
likely to gestate in fresh water, nor is the
geology of Togus at all similar to the sea
bottom.
"I'm not worried about getting a big run
emerging from the pond," Flagg said.

A mammoth problem taken in tow
MARATHON, Fla.-Marine Patrol officers have towed to sea the
decomposed body of an elephant found in a canal near this Florida Keys
town. How the elephant got there is a mystery. "We had no missing
elephant reports," said Capt. Mike Long.
The 12-foot carcass was spotted Saturday. Because of the health
hazard, a patrol boat put a noose around the elephant and towed it far out
to sea, where it eventually will sink.
Patrol officials said the animal might have died on a ship and been
thrown overboard.

Lounging lizard lassoed
BROOKTONDALE, N.Y- The 4-foot-long lizard snapped his
teeth and wagged his tongue at residents of this town, creating what
looked like an outtake from a "B" horror film.
"Apparently, this thing was not very happy and was trying to
bite everything in sight," Tompkins County sheriff's Deputy David
Sunday.
Bush said after the 5-pound, non-poisonous reptile was captured
Several Brooktondale residents spotted the lizard Saturday and
tried to catch it, but the animal quickly shredded the paper bag it
was stuffed into, said Gordon Gabaree, of the New York State De-
partment of Environmental Conservation. The lizard escaped and
apparently spent Saturday night in the woods.
"This is the kind of lizard they use in Hollywood movies with the
long waving tail, the claws to dig into the skin and the fork-shaped
tongue," said Kraig Adler, a Cornell University biology professor.
The lizard's now in Adler's custody while he looks for the owner.
If no one claims the lizard, Adler said, it will probably be donated to
the Burnet Park Zoo in Syracuse.

News from every state
Alabama: Montgomery - Some
rivers and swamps in Alabama are too
polluted for people to safely eat fish from
their waters. A survey of 34 water bodies
found that 17 of them contain potential-
ly dangerous levels of mercury, PCBs and
DDT. State toxicologist Neil Sass said
most of the waters, while still polluted,
are safe for swimming and are getting
cleaner.
Alaska: Anchorage - Walter Toolie,
74, spent two days in a snow cave before
being rescued. He got caught in a bliz-
zard and his snowmachine ran out of gas
as he was returning to the village of Sa-
voonga on St. Lawrence Island from a
whaling camp. He was a little dehydrat-
ed, but otherwise in good health, rescu-
ers said. Two rescue workers, who disap-
peared during the two-day search, were
found. One suffered frostbite.
Arizona: Phoenix - A bill to protect
people from unknowingly purchasing
vehicles that have been stripped of parts
is headed to the Senate. The House has
already passed the bill, which would re-
strict the ability of insurance companies
that recover stolen cars to obtain clean
titles instead of salvaged vehicle titles
before selling them at auction. Gov. Hull
hasn't stated his position on the bill.
Arkansas: Jonesboro - Despite
some protests, organizers say rapper Lu-
dacris' concert April 26 will go on as
planned at the Arkansas State Univer-
sity's convocation center. The center is
school property, but the concert is spon-
sored by a private promoter. The Ameri-
can Family Association asked promoters
to cancel the show after reviewing the
rapper's song lyrics.
California: San Luis Obispo - The
Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is
storing spent fuel safely and has taken
precautions against terrorist attacks,
federal officials said. A Nuclear Regula-
tory Commission official said at a public
hearing that the plant isn't a soft target
for a terrorist attack. The coastal plant is
between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Colorado: Pueblo - Rats, not cigars,

latest birth at the Pueblo Zoo. The rats
are for golden eagles Keesha and Kiya,

more than a new clean diesel bus. Metro
also has to come up with additional
funds to renovate a maintenance facility
for the new buses.

5 lions killed
in Arkansas town
QUITMAN, Ark. Lisa
Vaughan says her log cabin in
the woods was so peaceful that
sometimes the only sound that
could be heard was the trees
swaying in the wind.
Now she's listening for lions.
In the past week, four 600- to
800-pound African lions believed to
have some connection to a nearby
exotic animal farm have been
killed near this central Arkansas
town. And residents say the terror
may not be over, because no one
knows for sure whether more lions
are on the loose.
"I had a terrible headache
and my blood pressure has been
up. It's been a long ordeal,"
said Vaughan, whose husband,
Johnny, killed two of the lions
with his .30-06 rifle.
"Everybody is scared around
here," added neighbor Arvil
Skinner. "People have to sit out
with a high-powered rifle just to
let their kids play in the yard.
"That's just how serious it is.
It might be all right and it might
not. They might still be out
there. We just don't know."

Home, where the elephants
roam
African animal transplant proposed for Plains
By Joseph B. Verrengia
The Associated Press
DENVER - Lions stalking
deer in the stubble of a Ne-
braska corn field. Elephants
Colo-
trumpeting across
rado's high plains. Cheetahs
slouching through the West
Texas scrub.
Prominent ecologists are
floating an audacious plan to
transplant African wildlife to
the Great Plains of North
America.
Their proposal is being
greeted with gasps and
groans from other scientists
and conservationists who re-
call previous efforts to relo-
cate foreign species halfway
around the world, often with
disastrous results.
The authors contend it
could help save Africa's
poster species from extinc-
tion, where protection is
spotty and habitat is vanish-
ing. They also believe the re-
located animals could restore
biodiversity on this continent
to a condition closer to what
nature was like before hu-
mans overran the landscape.
They suggest starting with
zoo animals. The perimeters
of newly created reserves
would be fenced.
"We aren't backing a truck
up to some dump site in the
dark and turning lose a
said
bunch of elephants,"
Cornell University ecologist
Harry Greene, one of the
plan's authors.
While most modern Afri-
can species never lived on
the American prairie, the sci-
entists believe that today's
animals could duplicate the
natural roles played by their
departed, even larger cousins
mastodons, camels and sa-
ber-toothed cats
that
roamed for more than 1 mil-
lion years alongside antelope
and bison.
Relocating large animals
to ecological parks and re-
serves over the next century
would begin to restore the
balance, they said.
The scientists' plan ap-
pears in today's issue of the
journal Nature.
A similar park is being es-
tablished in Siberia. Scien-
tists are importing bison
from Canada to replace the
native variety that vanished
about 500 years ago.
Some ecologists said it is
important to try such a bold
plan. Otherwise, they said
hundreds more species are
likely to go extinct in coming
decades and entire ecosys-
tems like grasslands will fun-
damentally change.
The plan is triggering
thunderclaps of criticism,
with discouraging words like
"stupid" and "defeatist" rain-
ing down in torrents.
Scientists point to Aus-
tralia, which was overrun by
rabbits and poisonous cane
5A
toads after species reloca-
tions.
"It is not restoration to in-
troduce animals that were
never here," University of
Washington anthropologist
Donald Grayson said. "Why
introduce Old World camels
and lions when there are
North American species that
could benefit from the same
kind of effort?"
Given the continuing po-
the
litical struggle over
reintroduction of wolves in
the rural West, others won-
der how African lions would
be at home on the range.
"How many calves or
lambs would it take to feed a
family of lions for a month?"
said Steve Pilcher, executive
vice president of the Mon-
tana Stockgrowers Associa-
tion.
The renewed presence of
many large mammals might
turn back the ecological
clock in a variety of subtle
ways.
For example, elephants eat
woody plants that have over-
taken grasslands. Could they
act as Rototillers to restore
the prairie?
Lions would be a harder
sell, even if they would thin
elk herds.
"Lions eat people," said
co-author Josh Donlan of
Cornell. "There has to be a
pretty serious attitude shift
on how you view predators."

NATION/WORLD
Osama wants cohort's body
CAIRO, Egypt (AP)- Osama bin Laden
called on President Bush in an audiotape
released Friday to release the body of Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi and said Jordan should
allow the slain terrorist to be buried in his
homeland.
In the 19-minute message, bin Laden
paid tribute to al-Zarqawi and said the for-
mer al-Qaida in Iraq leader had been under
orders to kill Iraqis who supported U.S.
forces in the country. He also vowed more
attacks against the United States in the
Middle East and Africa.
"We will continue to fight you and your
allies everywhere, in Iraq, Afghanistan, So-
malia and Sudan to run down your re-
sources and kill your men until you return
defeated to your nation," he said, address-
ing Bush. His voice sounded breathy and
fatigued at times.
FDA OKs generic Zoloft
WASHINGTON (AP)- The first generic
versions of Zoloft, the top-selling brand-
name antidepressant in the United States,
received federal approval Friday.
Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries
Ltd. said it will make generic versions of
the drug, also known as sertraline, in 25-,
50- and 100-milligram tablets. Roxane Labo-
ratories Inc., based in Columbus, Ohio, will
make a liquid concentrate version of the
drug, the Food and Drug Administration
said.
Pfizer Inc.'s patent on Zoloft expires to-
day. The New York-based company is au-
thorizing its own generic version of the
drug to undercut its generic competitors.
There's a monkey in my yard
SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP)- Andrew
Padilla first saw the monkey in the back-
yard of his Palo Alto home, hanging out by
a fence. He thought it must be a squirrel.
It turned out to be a marmoset-and
one that was a long, long way from its na-
tive home in the rain forests of South and
Central America.
"I wanted to adopt him," Padilla said.
"He was so cute and friendly."
Padilla said he fed the stray monkey ba-
nanas and crackers before calling the
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA to re-
port him.
"We thought, 'Sure. What have you been
drinking?' But when our officer arrived,
there he was," said Scott Delucchi,
Spokesman for the animal care agency.
