Ever wondered what the most special-looking shark species could be? Well, the tasseled wobbegong shark is definitely a good candidate. Sometimes referred to as carpet sharks, these animals have an extraordinary, flattened appearance, due to their characteristic, branched lobes that extend from their heads. Although these sharks were first described in 1867, they remain mysterious as we still really don’t know them. ShareA tasselled wobbegong. You definitely shouldn’t step on it! SourceUPDATE: Apparently, this isn’t a wobbegong but a type of anglerfish in the Lophiidae family. You still shouldn’t step on it though!

Phil Foden, Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker have not started any of Manchester City’s three games since the World Cup ended. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has hinted that bad “body language” in training is the reason for some of his first-team regulars not playing as much lately. City dropped two valuable points against Everton on New Year’s Eve with both Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo being unused substitutes. Guardiola has surprisingly opted with talented teenager Rico Lewis to start at right wing-back in all three of City’s games since the season resumed after the World Cup. Nathan Ake has also…
Neil Lennon believes Caomhin Kelleher needs to leave Liverpool to ‘fulfill his full potential’. The young shot stopper is Alisson Becker’s understudy at the moment but does feature for the Reds in domestic cup competitions. Although it’s hard to see the Ireland International replacing our No. 1 as first choice anytime soon, he is contracted to the club until 2026 and has clearly learnt a lot from the former AS Roma ‘keeper. “Kelleher will need to leave Liverpool to fulfill his full potential,” the former Celtic manager told Football Odds (via The Kop Times). “It will be difficult for him to displace Alisson…
Former manager Stuart Pearce ripped into Antony after his underwhelming performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Manchester United winger is not in the best of form and looks lost. He was relatively quiet throughout the game and did not offer much going forward. Pearce went on to state: “Antony has got no intention of tracking back, Wolves can get a lot of joy down that side.” Later on he said: “Antony has failed to make an impact – he’s given away the ball on far too many occasions.” “He irritates the life out of me. Every time he gets the ball he…
If a prize is being handed out for the world’s cutest creature, the Siberian flying squirrel is certainly in with a chance of winning. Squirrels are considered as furry lovely little critters that have the power to make one go “aaaaaaaw”. But these squirrels take the cuteness factor to a whole new level. Flying squirrels can be spotted from the Pacific coast to the Baltic Sea in Japan and Europe. These creatures are classified as Old World flying squirrels. Even though flying squirrels do not hibernate, they do sleep for many days at a time throughout the winter. A Siberian…
This tree is called “Majesty”. Majesty, the Fredville Oak, is seen by many tree lovers and experts as the most impressive oak in Great Britain. Some even think of it as the most impressive tree of any in the country. Also it is one of the biggest oaks in the UK. Most of the other super big oaks are (often ruined) pollards with a short trunk and a small crown, but this is a healthy maiden tree with a long trunk and still a substantial crown. In the early twentieth century the tree lost an enormous limb at 3 – 4…
Using a camera to explore the ocean floor — roughly 820 to 1,200 feet below the surface — off the coast of Puerto Rico last week, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists got a rare opportunity to observe something they hardly see: a live shark embryo. During the deep sea journey, researchers witnessed 12 different kinds of fish, from bigeye soldierfish to silk snappers with its remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer, the NOAA said in a news release. They also witnessed an array of colorful coral and sponges along Desecheo Island. But it was a tiny translucent egg case floating nearby that really caught…

Erling Haaland set another Premier League record for Manchester City against Everton, in a feisty New Year’s Eve clash. Erling Haaland admitted he was ‘p*****’ not to score more than two goals at Leeds, focussing more on the three efforts he missed rather than the two strikes that ultimately won Manchester City another three points. Pep Guardiola ominously said that Haaland can get even better, despite becoming the fastest player to reach 20 Premier League goals. His 21st, against Everton, saw him set yet another record as the player with the most goals in a Premier League season before the turn of the year. And he…
Gary Neville believes Darwin Nunez can become a “world class” striker for Liverpool as his form in front of goal continues to be criticised. Nunez is under mounting pressure at Liverpool following his £85m move from Benfica in June. The Uruguay international has shown promise since that move but has missed plenty of opportunities to improve a goal record which has seen him score five in 12 Premier League games. That tally pales in comparison to Erling Haaland, who joined fierce rivals Manchester City in the summer and already has 21 league goals to his name. But Neville is confident Nunez…

The quality of greatness in sport throws out a brilliant and alluring light that makes everyone in its orbit feel enriched by its presence. I sat for a while with Michael Jordan 25 years or so ago in the Chicago Bulls’ locker room before a regular season game against the Bucks in Milwaukee and still remember thinking that, even on a treatment couch, the man seemed like a force of nature. It was quite something, too, to be in the Lusail Stadium on the northern outskirts of Doha a fortnight ago to witness the genius of Lionel Messi leading Argentina to victory over France in the World…

Rio Ferdinand believers Harry Maguire should be immediately looking to leave Manchester United after Luke Shaw was selected ahead of him against Wolves. Maguire has missed United’s first two games back after the World Cup due to a bout of illness but was named among the substitutes for Saturday’s trip to Molineux.

Maguire, along with Victor Lindelof who has also struggled with illness, was only deemed fit enough for the bench against Wolves but…

A giant 140-year-old redwood tree at a National Trust park was obliterated by a lightning strike. The tree was “left in tatters” in Sheffield Park, east of Haywards Heath, after storms battered Sussex last week. Staff heard a “single, very loud lightning strike” on Wednesday night.

The Argus: It is hoped…
Along with up to 30 new marine species, scientists have found a 150-ft example of a siphonophore, a string-like deep-sea predator Siphonophores feed by dangling stinging tentacles in the water. Photograph: Courtesy of Schmidt Ocean Institute Scientists exploring the deep sea off Australia’s coast have discovered as many as 30 new marine species – and what may be the longest animal ever seen. The discoveries were the result of expeditions into Western Australia’s underwater canyons. One of the biggest discoveries was a siphonophore measuring an estimated 150 feet (46 metres). Siphonophores are deep-sea predators made up of many small clones that act together as one…
A new ecosystem has been discovered 1,640 feet (500 metres) down in the depths of the Indian Ocean, where hungry sharks go to feast on krill. Named ‘The Trapping Zone’, scientists have described it as an ‘oasis of life’ in the midst of a ‘very large ocean desert’ in the Maldives. Predators such as sharks and other large fish swarm to the area to feast on a hive of small organisms known as micronekton. These are marine organisms that can swim independently of the current, migrating to the ocean surface at night and diving back into the deep at dawn. However,…
A Russian fisherman who has become famous for his deep-sea creature finds has just revealed his latest find on social media – a weird “smiling” worm that is unquestionably the creepiest thing you’ll see today. The marine bristle worm that was discovered by Roman Fedortsov. Roman Fedortsov shared a video of the worm on Twitter, showing the odd monster in all its creepy glory. The worm, which appears to reside in the depths of the ocean where it receives little sunlight, appears to be smiling at first glance, with a sequence of dots that resemble the worm’s eyes and nose,…
Graeme Mitchley, 47-year-old Deputy Principle of Hurlyvale Primary School, discovered this exciting encounter while he was in the Kruger National Park ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to Lower Sabie.
