"Tiger King" star Joe Exotic says he has "aggressive cancer"
CBSN
"Tiger King" star Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joesph Maldonado, has revealed he has an aggressive cancer. "Doctors called me in today to break the news that my prostate biopsy came back with an aggressive cancer, Carole Will have her own party over this!" his account tweeted, referring to fellow "Tiger King" alum Carole Baskin.
Maldonado is currently in prison for a murder-for-hire plot against rival Baskin, who, like him, raised big cats — the subject of the "Tiger King" docu-series. He was convicted in 2019 on 21 counts: Two for hiring hitmen to kill Baskin, and 19 counts of wildlife crimes. In 2020, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
He was re-sentenced earlier this year, which is the result of two charges being improperly separated, but the convictions still stand.

But in a warming world where spring conditions arrive sooner, climate change is messing with the bugs' internal alarm clocks.
