WANTAGE, England, July 6 (UPI) -- A 54-year-old carpenter in Wantage, England, accidentally cut off his own penis while working with a saw, his mother says.

Stuart Keen's mother, Edna, told The Sunday Telegraph her son had been cutting wood for a cabinet when the saw inflicted the horrific injury. Surgeons were able to reattach the severed appendage, she said.

Stuart is a carpenter and uses sharp and sometimes dangerous tools, Keen's mother said. This was an unfortunate accident but these things happen all the time to people in his profession.

A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics found him bleeding in his bathtub.

I have spoken to him and he is quite embarrassed about the whole incident, Keen's mother told the Telegraph.

PETERBOROUGH, England, July 6 (UPI) -- A 38-year-old man says he has received offers of up to $815 for a rare coin he was given as his change for a drink purchase at a British pub.

Lloyd Hefferman told The Sunday Telegraph he discovered he was given a 20-pence coin missing a date when he recently purchased a pint at The Botolph Arms pub in Peterborough.

I had heard about the rare 20-pence pieces on the news that day, and was talking with my mates about how brilliant it would be to find one, Hefferman said. When I was given my change I thought I would have a look to see if I had one, not expecting to find it and then I just couldn't believe my eyes.

The coins created by the Royal Mint feature a new design where the date traditionally is found and that design is mismatched with the other side's old design.

The Telegraph said 200,000 of the coins have entered circulation and one has already been sold online for nearly $11,600.

SYDNEY, July 6 (UPI) -- A newborn elephant calf made a short-lived appearance at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney tucked between its mother's legs, a zoo representative says.

Zoo representative Mark Williams said the calf, which had not been named yet, appeared shy and tentative when it recently made a public appearance at the Australian tourist site, The Sydney Morning Herald reported in its Monday edition.

The keepers walked out first to show the elephant's mother, Thong Dee, it was all good and she came out a little way with the calf tucked in under her feet, Williams said. She thought about a bit more of a stroll but in the end just went back inside.

Williams told the Morning Herald the first elephant born in Australia has been accepted by the rest of its herd, a crucial accomplishment in the elephant world.

Elephants operate in a social structure, so the level of attention and affection from the other elephants is crucial to the success of the breeding program, the zoo official said.
