Beautiful Life

A wonderful pic of Etna blowing her legendary smoke rings in April this year .

Each ring is the size of a bus when it leaves the vent . They expand outwards as they climb into the sky.

The volcanic vortex rings are formed because the vent itself is perfectly circular .

Etna wins v**e nation .

His game by numbers vs. Mexico:

10 touches
6 clearances (=most)
4 headed clearances
2 blocks (=most)

It's the most clearances made by a player subbed on in the 75th+ minute in a World Cup game on record. 🤯

How to Grow and Care for a Scots Pine Tree

In 1989, Costa Rican fisherman Gilberto “Chito” Shedden found a badly injured crocodile lying near a riverbank. The animal had been wounded through its left eye and appeared unlikely to survive, so Chito brought it home and slowly nursed it back to health. He named the crocodile Pocho.

According to the widely told story, Chito eventually released Pocho into a nearby river, but the crocodile returned and remained close to him. Over the next 20 years, the unlikely pair developed an extraordinary bond. Chito regularly entered the water with Pocho, swimming beside him, riding on his back, hugging him, and even placing his head between the crocodile’s jaws.

Their friendship eventually attracted visitors from across Costa Rica. Beginning around 2000, Chito and Pocho performed weekly shows at Finca Las Tilapias in Siquirres, where veterinarians and biologists monitored the crocodile’s health. Pocho passed away from natural causes in 2011 after more than two decades with the man who had rescued him.

A cat attracted attention after reportedly catching 27 rats overnight and leaving them neatly arranged by morning. Animal behavior experts explain that some cats naturally present their catches to display hunting success or share their achievement. This instinct reflects behaviors developed over thousands of years, making domestic cats highly effective hunters and natural controllers of rodent populations.
