A young woman had called in after finding what appeared to be a snake in her salad. The young woman called in after her mother found an “animal” in the wash basin as she cleaned some salad she had bought at the supermarket.
The animal was between five and six-cm long, able to swim and looked like a snake, said the caller. Unfortunately she couldn't send a picture as her internet connection was down.
The police sent a deployment out to the house to investigate further. After assessing the situation, the officers caught the animal, took it outside and released it into the wild. It turned out to be an ordinary garden worm.

This belongs in the category of "things people are no longer familiar with."
During the spring, when I mow my lawn, I try to leave the blooming flowers up, deliberately mowing around them. This is extra trouble, but I feel for the diminishing numbers of pollinators in my area. It probably also annoys the neighbors, to which I say, "Good!"
This year, e.g., I have seen exactly ONE bumblebee. And TWO butterflies.
I'm having a sad.
