Wild beasts
ENGLAND NEW boy, Theo Walcott, was given an unexpected opportunity to show off his speed (11.4 seconds over 100 metres) when threatened by a Doberman in a German restaurant. The 17-year-old decided discretion was the better part of valour as the hound made a b-line for him, and took off out of the doors. Meanwhile, authorities in Bavaria are worried that a loose bear, named Bruno, could provoke an embarrassing incident – the beast has so far killed dozens of chickens while evading hunters.
