There’s probably no monster in Loch Ness. But we did find one of its best-kept secrets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:04:32 GMT

Drumnadrochit, Scotland (CNN) — It’s not the volume of water in Loch Ness that impresses, although that’s substantial. It is, after all, 23 miles long with steep walls that plunge into a 754-foot abyss deep enough to submerge Edinburgh Castle twice over.It’s the unsettling darkness that stands out. Peat washes into the loch from surrounding rivers and streams, creating water as rich a brown as the tea that flows from pots in guesthouses in the nearby village of Drumnadrochit and the Highlands beyond. But it’s cold, bitterly cold, averaging around 40 F (4 or 5 C) year-round.“You could be swimming next to a 400-foot submarine, it would be two feet in front of you, and you would not see it,” says Alan McKenna, social worker by day and, in his free time, founder of the Loch Ness Exploration research group. “It’s like a lost world down there.”90 years since the first ‘monster’ photographUnless you’ve been hiding under a rock in a water-filled valley formed by the shifting of tectoni...

They took Pork Chop away from me,” she said as she wiped away tears.Jacobson’s pig, estimated at 400 pounds, was led away — not easily — by Palm Beach Animal Care and Control during an eviction in Northwood Village, Thursday night.Officers were concerned about the animal’s weight and overall health and are now looking to gain custody.Annette Wrubleski runs a pig sanctuary called Laughing Pig, located about two and a half hours away in Central Florida.

South Florida Wildlife Center undergoing renovations by nonprofit Rescue Rebuild

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:04:32 GMT

The South Florida Wildlife Center in Fort Lauderdale is getting a major makeover.Quite the face-lift is coming for the center, which houses hawks, tortoises, pelicans and more.The good deed is being done by Rescue Rebuild, a nonprofit community-driven program of Greater Good Charities.Projects include dig protections, native landscapes and large sand mounds for Florida’s native gopher tortoise.“It’s so important to take care of wildlife, because every individual species plays a part in our bigger ecosystem, and so, when one species is struggling, it affects others,” said Zach Baker, vice president of Greater Good Charities. “For example, like bees. When bees are not thriving, our food is affected, and there’s implications like that, all the different species.”The enclosures fell into disrepair after Edgewater’s historic flooding last April.Renovations are expected to be completed by Nov. 16.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:04:32 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — No. 7 Texas withstood a furious TCU rally in the fourth quarter to hang on for a 29-26 win Saturday in Fort Worth.Leading 26-6 going into the fourth quarter, the Longhorns nearly let another big lead slip away. A huge 35-yard reception by Adonai Mitchell on third-and-12 with 1:58 left in the game gave Texas a first down and iced the game. Mitchell made a tremendous adjustment on the Quinn Ewers pass that was a bit underthrown and to Mitchell's outside shoulder. Mitchell was essentially on his back when he made the grab, and with only one timeout left, TCU couldn't stop the Longhorns from running out the clock.Texas running back Jonathon Brooks, right, dives into the end zone in front of TCU safety Millard Bradford while scoring on a touchdown run during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, in Fort Worth, Texas.

UPDATE: 10:25 p.m. SaturdayThe only news so far tonight, and it’s no surprise to anyone in Minnesota, is that the VIkings are not going to activate Justin Jefferson for tomorrow’s game against New Orleans. So when you add that to the absence of K.J. Osborn, it’s going to be a busy day for Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson.Remember, while the clocks are NOT turning back again in the morning this week, the NFL day begins early again with the Patriots and Colts wrapping up the European schedule with a game in Frankfurt, Germany. Beyond Jonathan Taylor, there should not be any major fantasy implications in that game.UPDATE: 12:32 p.m. SaturdayNot a whole lot of fantasy news so far this weekend, except in Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow may be missing his top two receivers for Sunday’s game against Houston.All-world wideout Ja’Marr Chase is still considered questionable because of his injured back. But now No. 2 option Tee Higgins has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The beneficiar...
