ALBERTVILLE, AL - Albertville Police arrested a woman and charged her with endangering the welfare of a child after a bizarre turn of events Saturday. Police say they found her driving on Highway 431 with a teenager riding in a box on top of her minivan.
Jackie Denise Knott, 37, of Goldkist Street, was taken to the Albertville City Jail. Police say someone called them about a minivan traveling on Highway 431 with a large cardboard box on the roof. A child was inside the box.
Officers stopped the van on Highway 431 near Tyson Foods. They found a 13-year-old girl inside the box. Police questioned Knott about why the child was inside the box, and she said "the box was too big to go inside the van and she would be able to hold it down if she was inside the box."
Police then asked Knott if they thought the child was safe in this position, on top of the minivan. She replied, saying "the box was tied to the van with a clothes hanger."
Police arrested Knott on the spot. The child is in the care of a relative. Police will notify the Marshall County Department of Human Resources about the incident.
Knott is now out of jail.

Got this in an email, don't know if it's real, but looks like it. 
In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to
the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one
species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zookeepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops??
Take a look........ you won't believe your eyes!!
