Viewed from the right angle, the spots of the extremely elusive clouded leopard create an amazing 3D optical illusion. Wow, those spots look so, well, three dimensional! Image credit: Charles Barilleaux Named for its cloud-like spots, recent genetic studies have shown that clouded leopards are nut simply a type of leopard, but a separate genus. They recently made headlines when rangers in Taiwan spotted a Formosan clouded leopard, a subspecies thought to be extinct and going unseen for over 30 years. But even before the hopeful news surfaced, professor Liu Chiung-hsi from the Department of Life Science at Taiwan’s National…

The extremely well-camouflaged mata mata turtle dresses like a piece of bark with spiky ridged scales, and sucks in prey by creating a vacuum. And it appears to be always smiling. With its disproportionately large head and elongated thick neck, the mata mata looks a bit odd, but always smiles nevertheless. Image credit: Per Se One of the largest freshwater turtles (their shell can grow to nearly 45 centimeters or 1.5 feet, and weigh about 17 kilograms or 38 pounds), the mata mata is a rather strange-looking animal, at least by human standards. It has a disproportionately large head and…
Botanical tattoos are a popular choice for body art because of their versatility and symbolism. Flowers, plants, and trees can represent different meanings and emotions, depending on their type, color, and design.

Are you topping that sandwich with a helping of hunger, high blood pressure, and weight gain? From toast in the morning to buns on that burger in the evening, bread is a major staple in many American diets. In fact, according to research from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average American consumes more than 100 percent of their recommended daily allowance (RDA) of grains in a single day. However, it’s not just the calories those slices of bread add to your diet that could be a problem for your health in the long run. There’s yet another surprising side effect of eating a…
One of the greatest NBA teams in NBA history may be the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Purple and Gold are unquestionably not acting like one during the 2022–23 NBA season. With the NBA All-Star weekend right around the corner, fans are waiting for the team to turn the season around. In hopes of doing so, general manager Rob Pelinka made a few trades around the NBA Trade Deadline to get more help around the organization’s duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

After returning last January after missing the first two and a half seasons due to a catastrophic injury, Klay Thompson has far surpassed even the most hopeful predictions. He not only helped the Golden State Warriors win a remarkable fourth title in eight years in June, but has risen his game to a higher level since early December, flashing vintage scoring and shot-making form while helping the defending champions stay afloat during another extended absence for Steph Curry. Among the most encouraging steps Thompson has taken since recovering from a torn ACL and ruptured Achilles, though, will come on Tuesday night against…
The Golden State Warriors are preparing to play their final game before the All-Star break against the Los Angeles Clippers at home. The hope is to enter the break on a high note, with a two-game winning streak and a little bit of a cushion between them and the teams outside of the play-in tournament. They’ll have one surprise player on the court as they attempt that goal, but they’ll also be down a player, too. On the positive front is Klay Thompson, who will be playing both sides of a back-to-back for the first time all season. Following Monday’s win over…
Marken For most of its history, Marken was separated from the Dutch mainland by the IJmeer sea until 1957 when it was connected to Noord-Holland by a causeway jutting out from Waterland. Even after becoming a peninsula — rather than an island — the village has maintained its historic charm and is renowned for its rustic wooden houses and picturesque harbour where dozens of fishing boats still berth everyday.

Kareem Abdul-friendship—or Jabbar’s lack thereof—with LeBron James has received a lot of attention lately. LeBron had himself said a while ago that the two don’t have much of a relationship, but they have since shared some big stages. When LeBron James broke the all-time scoring record, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was at hand to pass his mantle to the King. The Captain had some kind words to say about James after as well, acknowledging his greatness in being able to break the high bar that he had set decades ago. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has criticized LeBron James in the past, but he has also acknowledged his part in their…
Avoid these types of meats if your blood pressure is high, because they’ll only make it worse. It’s normal for blood pressure to rise and fall throughout the day. However, if it remains high for too long, it may damage your heart and cause other health problems. For example, having severe high blood pressure puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in the United States. If you want to avoid these risks, it’s important to keep your blood pressure in a safe range. Aside from medication, there are other ways to lower blood pressure,…
It is inaccurate to compare Andrew Wiggins to Kevin Durant he is not. He doesn’t have the same level of self-creation chops nor the three-level scoring ability — but that doesn’t mean he won’t be expected to be the second-leading scorer on most nights, or on occasion the leading scorer when others just don’t have it on a particular night (or aren’t present). Wiggins was just that against the Washington Wizards. He finished with 29 points on 22 shots (9-of-16 on twos, 3-of-6 on threes) and a 63.4 TS%. Wiggins largely didn’t settle for off-rhythm jumpers but instead mixed up his…
Las presas del águila suelen ser roedores de tamaño pequeño y mediano, pero en ocasiones también cazan cabras montesas. Un video que se volvió viral en las redes sociales recientemente capturó a las grandes águilas cazando cabras montesas. Se puede ver un águila manejando muy bien a una joven cabra montés. Con solo una zambullida, la cabra montés obtiene un “boleto” gratis para volar, y el águila promete una buena comida. La cacería transcurrió tan bien que otro de su tipo inmediatamente lanzó una cacería de seguimiento para capturar la cabra montés. Pero la segunda águila inició una…
