Clarissa Eloise Snert passed away yesterday in New Hampshire USA. Heading up a team to research the Blue-headed Vireo, she apparently fell from a tightrope constructed across a ravine where the species breed. She would have celebrated her 101st birthday next month.
Police say that it took over two hours to gain entry into the hotel suite she was staying in as her lifelong companion. Slasher, a 15ft male Alligator only responded to her commands and had to be sedated. Upon reawakening to see his mistresses belongings being removed, Slasher was unconsolable and burst into a flood of Crocodile tears.
