'Despicable' Peterborough fiancé beat partner, 18, and killed her hamster after Xbox row
A teenager who told his fiancée he would 'kill everything she loves' before slaughtering her pet hamster has been sentenced to 12 months in a young offenders' institution. Max Roberts, 18, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough, tried to strangle his 18-year-old partner before kicking and beating her and smashing up her furniture. The attack began at 1.30pm on 25 November last year when the victim was playing Xbox, with Roberts next to her on the bed. He elbowed her in the face before grabbing her by the neck with both hands, gripping her so tightly it restricted her breathing. The assault continued as Roberts punched and kicked his victim, leaving her covered in blood with a broken nose. The court heard he killed one of her pet hamsters and kicked the cage of the other so violently it shattered. He told the victim he was killing everything she loved, before leaving the property with a warning he would "be back to finish her off". Roberts was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court after admitting intentional strangulation, criminal damage to property, failing to prevent the causing of unnecessary suffering to an animal and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. He was also issued with a restraining order not to contact the victim and not to visit any address where she may be staying or visiting. Det Con Joshua Crown said: 'Roberts behaved despicably, aiming to inflict the most emotional pain possible by killing the victim's hamster. 'To show this level of violence at such a young age is concerning, but I hope Roberts will reflect on his actions during his sentence and never behave this way again.'

Teen tried to strangle woman and killed hamster
A teenager who tried to strangle a woman and killed her pet hamster has been given a custodial sentence of nearly three years. Max Roberts, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough, attacked the woman while she was sitting on a bed playing Xbox. Police said the 18-year-old elbowed her to the face, attempted to strangle her, and chased her into the kitchen where he punched and kicked her face and body. At Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, he was given a 32-month term at a Young Offenders Institution. Det Cons Joshua Crown said: "Roberts behaved despicably, aiming to inflict the most emotional pain possible by killing the victim's hamster." Cambridgeshire Police said the victim was forced to hand over her mobile phone and keys to Roberts following the attack on 25 November. The force said that after targeting the hamster and kicking the cage of a second hamster - causing it to shatter - he then told her he would "kill everything she loves". He eventually left the property and sent a message claiming he would "be back to finish her off", police said. Roberts admitted intentional strangulation, causing criminal damage to property, failing to prevent the causing of unnecessary suffering to an animal and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. He was also issued with a restraining order not to contact the victim and not to visit any address where she may be staying or visiting.

Rattlesnakes begin to emerge from terrifying megaden holding more than 2,000 serpents
Rattlesnakes are beginning to emerge from hibernation as the springtime approaches, including up to 2,000 serpents from a mega den in a secret location in Colorado. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University have set up webcams near the secret spot in Colorado to record the serpents' behavior. The research is a part of Project RattleCam, which monitors rattlesnakes in Colorado and California. The webcams were placed last summer so scientists could learn more about the reptiles' daily behavior in the wild. A snake removal company called Central Coast Snake Services and Dickinson College in Pennsylvania are also involved in the project. Scientists made the live stream footage public so anyone can watch the snakes moving in real time. The footage captivated audiences as snakes have recently been observed leaving the mega den. Around 2.5 million people watched the live births of baby snakes, also known as pups, last year. Rattlesnakes hibernate in the winter and begin to emerge when the weather gets warm. Currently, there've only been a few snakes seen on camera, but scientists estimate that there will be thousands by the end of May. Some of the snakes pictured at the Colorado rockery are named Pirate, Loki, Scarly, Honeybee, and Olga. The prairie rattlesnake is are native to grassland, sandhills, semidesert shrubland, riparian zones, and montane woodland habitats, according to the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation. The rattlesnakes give birth at the end of the summer, for two weeks in late-August to early September. Contrary to popular belief, rattlesnakes give birth to their young and don't lay eggs. Max Roberts, a CalPoly graduate student researcher, told the Associated Press last year that rattlesnakes are pack-like creatures. Mothers care for the young together and protect the newborn pups with their body heat until they enter hibernation. 'We regularly see what we like to call "babysitting," pregnant females that we can visibly see have not given birth, yet are kind of guarding the newborn snakes,' Roberts said. The researchers are studying different aspects of the serpents' daily lives. Last year, Roberts focused on how temperature changes and ultraviolet sunlight affect the reptiles. Another graduate student studied the familial and social relationships of the rattlesnakes. 'We are interested in studying the natural behavior of rattlesnakes, free from human disturbance. What do rattlesnakes actually do when we're not there?' Roberts told AP. The webcam was turned off last fall since the snakes were in hibernation, but is live once again as they emerge from the infamous mega den. The live stream is on at all hours, but stops for 15 minutes at 7am and 7pm PST. Snake enthusiasts can also watch the California RattleCam from 7am to 8pm PST starting in July.
