A species of clam known only by the 28,000-year-old fossils it left behind has turned up alive and well on an American shoreline. The small, translucent bivalve, known as Cymatioa cooki, was recently discovered hiding in the rocky intertidal zone of southern California – a place carefully combed over by scientists for many, many years. “It’s not all that common to find alive a species first known from the fossil record, especially in a region as well-studied as Southern California,” says marine ecologist Jeff Goddard from the University of California Santa Barbara. Goddard himself has spent decades searching California’s shores for sea slugs,…

The shark still swims about in search of prey on the ocean floor despite losing half of its body. Scientists almost couldn’t believe their eyes after spotting a zombie shark hunting for food. Its body was eaten by almost half of it in the attack of other sharks. Dr Mario Lebrato believes that this is the shark he brought back to the waters off Spain. But shortly after returning to the ocean, it was attacked by a bull shark weighing up to 400kg. The black shark tenaciously fought back for 20 minutes to escape this brutal attack. National Geographic’s clip captures the…

Green anacondas are known to eat pigs and peccaries (which resemble pigs and can get to about the weight of a smaller mini-pig). Image Snakes have an incredible ability to stretch their jaws and stomachs (though contrary to popular belief they don’t actually unhinge their jaws, they just stretch them), so if they can eat animals several times wider than they are.

“Pancho eats the crickets and Lefty is vegetarian. He only eats greens,” says owner Todd Ray. Todd Ray doesn’t just won one two headed bearded dragon he owns two. His other bearded dragon is called Jeckyl and Hyde. Image “They’re about five months old,” says Ray. “They were born in San Diego and I heard about them, contacted their owner and they’ve been mine for about two months.” Jeckyl and Hyde have very different eating habits from Pancho and Lefty. “Jeckyl does all the eating and Hyde only drinks water,” Ray said. “I think Hyde ate crickets once. That’s it.”…
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was keen to praise one of his players in particular for their role in the 0-1 victory over Chelsea on Thursday night. City bounced back from a hugely disappointing first-half in West London to dictate play during the opening exchanges of the second-half, and ultimately take all three points through a single goal from Riyad Mahrez. The Algeria international combined well with fellow substitute Jack Grealish, to tap home at the back post and score the deciding goal in the fixture. While the aforementioned pair made the ultimate difference in the game, two other substitutes…
Prior to Tuesday’s round of Premier League fixtures, Manchester City have scored more goals than any other side in the league. With 44 league goals scored, the majority of those goals have come from their star summer signing Erling Haaland. Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £51m, the striker has scored 21 goals in 15 league appearances. Despite the Norwegian’s impressive goalscoring efforts, the Citizens have found themselves in second place for the majority of the campaign. Now that the January transfer window has opened, this could give Pep Guardiola the chance to refresh and strengthen his squad to make sure they don’t end up…
Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he doesn’t know if new Liverpool signing Cody Gakpo is 100 per cent fit right now. The Dutchman has begun training and is in contention to make his Liverpool debut against Wolves tomorrow. But speaking in his pre-match press conference today, Klopp admitted that he’s not completely sure exactly how fit Gakpo is. “It looks really good, looks really promising, he looks fit, that’s all good. Is he at 100 per cent fitness? I don’t know,” admitted the Liverpool boss. “He trained with us now two days with the team. I think the session you could see were very…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed today that star defender Virgil Van Dijk will be sidelined for more than a month after suffering an injury during the 3-1 defeat to Brentford. Their awful first half performance saw Klopp make three changes at half-time with Van Dijk, Tsimikas and Harvey Elliott all taken off at the break. But Klopp has since then confirmed that taking off the Dutchman was precautionary as they did not want to ‘take any risk’ with his hamstring problem which did not seem as serious at that time. However, unfortunately for Liverpool, the injury has since then…
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are due to announce a massive £275million deal that could anger Reds supporters, according to reports. FSG have long been criticised at Anfield for their lack of investment in the first team. Indeed, supporters feel that limited spending in the transfer market has left the side in a vulnerable position, after a brilliant past half-decade. An ageing squad in desperate need of rejuvenation has seen Klopp’s side stumble to sixth place in the league after 17 games. However, it seems the Americans, who are exploring the possibility of selling their stake in Liverpool, are not popular on…
Roy Keane has led the criticism into David de Gea’s bizarre goalkeeping error that allowed Everton to equalise against Manchester United in their FA Cup third-round tie. The Spanish goalkeeper was caught out at his near-post as the ball squirmed between his legs and crept into the path of Conor Coady who had an empty net to tap into to pull Everton level at 1-1. During ITV’s half-time coverage, Keane said it looked as though the Spanish keeper had ‘a few drinks’ due to his unusual mistake. David de Gea made a bizarre mistake during Manchester United’s FA Cup tie with Everton The Spanish keeper somehow let…
Manchester United laboured hard this evening to earn a 3-1 victory against Everton. The Red Devils had to dig deep at times when Frank Lampard’s men upped the pressure in search of an equalizer. However, an Antony goal, an own-goal from Conor Coady and a late penalty from Marcus Rashford were all enough to send United to the next round of the FA Cup. Antony produced a decent performance on his restoration to the starting XI. The Brazilian was back in action after he missed the Bournemouth game with an injury. The winger generally had a good performance, which got off to…
Manchester United are through to the next round after a hard-fought-for win against Everton. United at times had to weather the storm and did so brilliantly to emerge 3-1 winners against the Toffees. United got their goals through Antony, an own-goal from Conor Coady and a penalty from Marcus Rashford. Again, as in recent weeks, Rashford stole the show. Beyond his stoppage-time penalty, it was Rashford’s incredible contribution that forced United’s second goal. His powerful cross on the outside hit Coady to go past a helpless Jordan Pickford. Rashford predominantly played on the left before Alejandro Garnacho’s introduction which saw the Englishman moved…
Former England boss suggests Liverpool appoint Lionel Scaloni if Jurgen Klopp leaves Speaking to OLBG (h/t Liverpool Echo), former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has suggested Liverpool hire Lionel Scaloni as their next manager if Jurgen Klopp gets sacked. Scaloni has been one of the hits in football management since taking over the Argentina job in 2018. He led his country to a Copa America title in 2021. He followed that up by lifting the World Cup in Qatar last month. The former West Ham United player’s tactical ingenuity has been hailed by many because the South American side needed something special after losing their opening…
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will consider the FA Cup as a sterling opportunity to clinch a piece of major silverware in his debut season in charge of the prestigious club. With the Red Devils devoid of silverware since defeating Ajax Amsterdam in the 2016/17 Europa League final, and currently adrift of the expectation of Champions League football, finishing sixth in the division last term, Ten Hag is rekindling the fire at the club and giving impetus to the magnitude of playing on the Old Trafford turf. Currently fourth in the league after 17 matches with a game in hand on third-placed Newcastle United – with both sides on 35 points – Ten Hag…

The state of Washington is home to several beautiful forests that attract visitors and hikers each year, and while they are all wonderful, Hoh Rain Forest is especially unique. This forest is like no other in the United States, with its thick, towering greenery and moss-covered trees. In fact, it’s quite reminiscent of the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter. Chances are you probably won’t see any werewolves or unicorns in the area, but the astonishing natural beauty of Hoh Rain Forest is truly a fantasy of its own. In Hoh Rain Forest, cloudy and wet days are the norm. The…

A snorkeler in Australia hardly believed her eyes when she spotted a sand mullet fish with a wedding band wrapped around its neck. ShareWait, is that a fish wearing a wedding ring? Image credit: Susan Prior Norfolk Island local Susan Prior was swimming off the east coast of Australia when she beheld the strange site. Believing the ring might be of value, Prior put it up on the local Classifieds page in the hope she would find the owner, Newsweek reported. “I recalled that someone had posted on our local community social media pages about a large man’s wedding ring that had…
The wolffish has the face only a mother could love, but it’s surprisingly affectionate. And it produces antifreeze. ShareCould be a nightmare for a kid, but these guys actually make friends with humans. Source The only thing the Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) has common with wolves is that it has sharp teeth and a strong jaw to help it rip apart its prey. Its teeth are so prominent, in fact, that some even poke out of its mouth, giving it an appearance that is creepy and funny at the same time – at least by human standards. But those enormous chompers have a…

After seeing this snake with legs, many people felt extremely bewildered. The fact that most mutants do not have particular abilities does not make them any less interesting. Consider this snake, which was discovered recently in Southwest China. You should be able to tell what distinguishes this snake from others based on the image. Specifically, the strange clawed limb protruding from its side. Dean Qiongxiu, the woman who discovered the snake, said she found it attached to the wall of her bedroom. Qiongxiu, shocked and terrified, proceeded to beat the snake to death with her shoe before preserving the beast…
