A cattle truck flipped over on an interstate ramp in the south suburbs, klling 16 cows. One cow escaped from the truck as crews were trying to upright it. The cow, which had a broken leg, charged at some of the workers. Illinois State Police say they were forced to shoot it to put it down. One of the cows fell on to the roof of a car on the interstate below. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Dozens of cows remained alive inside the turned over truck.

We all hear about those false zombie outbreaks over in Europe, but that deadly Egyptian cobra on the loose in New York is a hole another story. A venomous cobra escaped from the New York Bronx Zoo.

Snakes where? On a plane?

A venomous Egyptian cobra went missing from New York's Bronx Zoo. Zoo officials said they are confident the 20-inch-long snake is contained in a nonpublic, isolated area of the building.The Egyptian cobra is most commonly found in North Africa. The venom destroys nerve tissue and causes paralysis and death due to respiratory failure. It can kill a human in less than 15mins and a fully grown elephant in 3 hours.

James ~ be sure when summarizing, you summarize. I can see that you chose various facts/sentences throughout the article and what you chose was great in giving a short overview of the important parts of this article. Be sure, however, to always use your own words to retell what you read versus direct sentences from the source. Did I just see somewhere, too, that one escaped in California?
