The skull of a baby gorilla was fractured when he got caught in the middle of a family brawl at a Washington state zoo.

Kitoko, 2 ¹/2 months, was bitten on the head when a female among the family went after his mother, Uzumma, at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle on Saturday. Kitoko underwent surgery and keepers hope for a full recovery.

Three Spider-Man-fan brothers in Bolivia provoked a spider into biting them in the hopes that they would gain superpower­s.

The siblings, aged 12, 10 and 8, found the bug while herding goats in Chayanta recently. They prodded it with a stick until it bit each of them in turn. They became sick and were released from a five-day stay in a hospital after being given a serum.

Lottery lightning strikes twice for an Australian man.

The unidentifi­ed player from Moonta won two $50,000 prizes in the Keno Spot 8 game in the span of two days last week. “I just couldn’t believe it. It was big surprise!” he told officials of his first win, adding, “You can imagine how I was feeling when I saw I’d won again!”

An Indian man murdered his wife with a highly venomous cobra — weeks after he failed with a viper, police allege.

The man identified only as Sooraj, 27, first planted a viper in his wife, Uthra’s room in Anchal on March 2, they said. She was bitten and hospitaliz­ed almost two months.

After she was discharged to her parents’ home, the husband got a cobra and threw it at her as she slept May 7, authoritie­s said. She died and he was charged Sunday.

A man hopped into a bear enclosure at a Polish zoo and wrestled with one of the bruins.

The unidentifi­ed 23-yearold was rescued by firefighte­rs after he pulled the stunt Thursday at the Warsaw Zoo.

He was arrested and charged with animal cruelty and for not wearing a face mask under Poland’s coronaviru­s restrictio­ns.
