The Celtics battled through injuries to Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, and Robert Williams in the second half to defeat the Raptors 106-104 and earn their ninth straight victory. Toronto’s 20-27 record is marked by poor shooting; they’re 28th in the league at three-point shooting percentage (and were without Fred Van Vleet) and subsequently, only average 23.1 assists per game. However, the Raptors are big across the board with Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, and Scottie Barnes filling out their wing rotation. The Raptors outscored the Celtics in the paint 54-to-36 and blocked 10 shots. The Raptors’ weaknesses, however, are the Celtics’…

After electing to sit every starter except one during Friday’s 120-114 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr came under fire. Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Stephen Curry were all out against the Cavaliers, leaving Kevon Looney as the lone starter. However, Dubs supporters will be relieved to see that their injury list for Saturday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets is much cleaner. Curry, Green, Thompson, and Wiggins have all been removed from the official injury list ahead of Saturday’s contest. This only means that the Dubs will be healthy — at least for…

Archaeologists have revealed a complex of hidden passageways and galleries deep inside the ancient Chavín de Huántar temple complex in the Peruvian Andes. The researchers think the network of chambers and galleries was used in religious rituals, possibly involving psychedelic drugs. It’s the first time in about 3,000 years that these particular hidden structures have been explored; some of the dark and isolated chambers may have been used for sensory deprivation, while some of the larger galleries seem to have been used for the worship of idols, said John Rick, a Stanford University archaeologist who is leading the research. “These…

There has been a huge increase in the number of elephants in Kenya, according to the country’s first wildlife census. The figures have risen since Kenya c.rac.ked down on p.oa.ching by organized cri.me networks. Poa.chi.ng is not a sport. It is an environmental crime that poses a major threat to animal populations. Kenya’s use of tracking, forensic science, and improved prosecutions has now led to a significant reduction in poa.chi.ng. The report shows an increase in the numbers of elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffes, Grévy zebras, and hirola (hunting antelopes) – a 12% increase since the last figures were recorded in…

Themba’s mother di.ed when he was six months old. For a week, veterinarians at the Sanbona wildlife sanctuary in South Africa observed him and believed another elephant would adopt him. But Themba was left alone after his first week at Sanbona. Then the animal hospital decided to take him to the wildlife rehabilitation area in Shamwari, and they introduced Albert the sheep to Themba. But unfortunately, Albert was scared and hid in a cave for twelve hours. “During their first encounter, Themba sped the sheep and chased it around his watering hole. But Themba was curious and kept coming up…

“Girl with tattoos who will always appear tougher than she is.” This is how American tattoo model Megham Ceallaigh introduced herself to Tattoo Life, in between describing herself, the job she loves so much as a makeup artist and her passion for music, her lifeblood.

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, settled with my family in Eugene, OR. You are a make up artist, is that correct? That’s correct! I have been a…

Non-scientific versions of the answer have invoked many gods and have been the basis of all religions and most philosophy since the beginning of recorded time. Now a team of mathematicians from Canada and Egypt have used cutting edge scientific theory and a mind-boggling set of equations to work out what preceded the universe in which we live. In (very) simple terms they applied the theories of the very small – the world of quantum mechanics – to the whole universe – explained  by general theory of relativity, and discovered the universe basically goes though four different phases. More importantly…

Swimmers are on urgent alert after the number of one meter long lampreys with sharp teeth hit a record high in several UK rivers. According to the Mirror , lampreys can attack humans when hungry, and the species is increasing at a rapid rate across the UK. The number of lampreys is recorded at record levels in the Great Ouse, Trent, Derwent and Wear rivers. Lampreys are also known as vampire fish because they destroy other fish by clinging to themselves and sucking the blood of their prey. British outdoor swimming websites are advising members who regularly swim in lakes and rivers to be…

In Slovakia, archaeologists have discovered something odd. Their well-preserved skeletons were jumbled together and all of them were missing their heads, with the exception of a young child. How, when, and why these people’s heads were removed are central questions for future investigations. Already last year, the team had uncovered headless skeletons there. 37 skeletons without heads; here are two of them lying on their fronts. How, when, and why the heads were removed is still unclear to the scientists. Dr. Till Kühl, Institute for Pre- and Protohistoric Archaeology/Kiel University “We assumed to find more human skeletons, but this exceeded…

No matter how much you like big cats, you should never approach them too ᴄʟᴏsᴇly since they are tremendously ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs animals. However, you might forget about it after witnessing this amiable lion charge into a car full of tourists. One of the lions at the Taigan Safari Park in Vilnohirsk, Crimea, wanted to prove to everyone that he is nothing more than a huge, devoted giant during a safari. The lion, Filya, noticed that the car was crowded with passengers as soon as he got on it. The big cat showed no signs of aggression and even proceeded to give…

In the Nitzana sand dunes of Israel’s Negev, close to an ancient fire pit, eight ostrich eggs dating back more than 4,000 years were discovered. This rare find, preliminarily dated between 4,000 and 7,500 years ago, was discovered in an Israel Antiquities Authority archaeological excavation in the agricultural fields of Be’er Milka.

Ladies and gentlemen, the award for best invertebrate mimicry goes to Hemeroplanes triptolemus for its masterful impersonation of a venomous snake! Native to the rainforests of the Amazon, the snake mimic caterpillar turns into a rather unimpressive moth in the family Sphingidae, but in its larval stage it incorporates an astonishing survival tactic. It needs one too, as without a good defence system in place, sphinx moth caterpillars are essentially energy-rich ‘nom-nuggets’ presented on a bed of leafy greens for the jungle’s predators. To avoid that fate, the larva of this moth expands and exposes its underside to mimic a snake’s head with…

Nothing is stable or standing. As you read this, the Earth is spinning on its own axis; it circles around the sun, the sun is travelling through space at an astounding 792,000 kilometers per hour around the universe’s enormous core, and our cosmos is moving at an astounding 2.1 million kilometers per hour. You may consider this as you read this with your body in a motionless position. However, everything in the cosmos moves, including our planet (Earth), which rotates on its axis at around 1700 kilometers per hour, the solar system, and even the Milky Way Galaxy. The solar…

We don’t know why 100,000 galaxies, including our own, are moving into a part of space that we can’t see. “Gravity Anomaly” is what astronomers call this kind of thing. “The Great Attractor” is the name for this huge area of space. Astronomers think it weighs as much as 100 billion Suns. In the video below, you can find out more. https://youtu.be/N9qeOhJ9dbg Source: https://theancientzen.com

Imágenes grabadas por turistas en King’s Pool Wildlife Park (Botswana) muestran dos grandes leones machos nadando a través del río Linyanti en la frontera entre Botswana y Namibia. Al principio, el león macho más grande dudaba en meterse en el agua, pero cuando vio que su hermano menor se zambullía primero, el león más grande también aceptó seguirlo. Cuando estaba a punto de llegar al otro lado, el león macho más pequeño fue repentinamente atacado por un cocodrilo y se ahogó en el agua. Al darse cuenta de que su hermano había sido atacado, el león más grande saltó inmediatamente…

It is a gift and new hope for a poor female elephant in Thailand. Elephants are big and heavy and can be dangerous when they are hungry or getting aggressive. On the other hand, a handful of those fan-ear creatures are friendly and helpful. In many Asian countries, elephants have accompanied people with heavy chores. It’s good to form genuine connections with wild animals, but from time to time, bad things happen. Medo (Mae Do), a female elephant, was put to work at 8. She hauled logs in the mountains spanning the border region for four years until she was…

Este es el momento en que un tigre finalmente ganó una sangrienta lucha de vida o muerte contra un venado condenado. El tigre había visto a la manada de ciervos Sambar saciando su sed junto al lago Rajbagh en el Parque Nacional Rahnthambhore en Rajasthan, India, y lanzó un ataque contra un ciervo joven. El ciervo desesperado luchó por liberarse mientras el dúo luchaba hasta la muerte, pero no fue competencia para el tigre feroz cuando asestó un golpe 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er, antes de comer su cena recién capturada. Las asombrosas instantáneas fueron tomadas por el fotógrafo de vida silvestre Alankar…
