Wildlife release causes international incident


For the first time in 400 years, a family of beavers have been released into the Strait of Hormuz. The family set to work doing what beavers do and Greta Thunberg turned up with some little hard hats and copious supplies of black and yellow tape.


The beavers have now successfully dammed the Strait and shipping has been rerouted. As a result, prices have spiked around the world and shortages developed, particularly in the twig market.


The creatures are now frolicking in the shallows, blissfully unaware that they have rocked the foundations of global capitalism. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei said 'Aren't they cute? Just look at those little furry faces!'


US President Donald Trump remains unimpressed and has threatened to use force if the beavers won't open up.


Across the Strait, in Oman, people cleared their throats pointedly and said 'We have opinions too, you know, if anyone cares to ask... Hello?'
