 It’s easy to make excuses for animal thieves - poor hungry creatures in a cruel, cold world. But a starving animal wouldn’t be as choosy as the seagull who strolls into an English seaside shop to snatch packages of chips - but only one flavor, the cheese Doritos. Others take stuff they couldn’t possibly need, like the fox in Germany that stole a hundred shoes. And for some their special abilities almost result in the perfect crime: staff at a safari park had no idea where all the water in their hot tub was going night after night, till finally this photo revealed the culprit.
