Shark attacks
A 16-year-old boy visiting North Carolina's Outer Banks with his family is recovering from injuries suffered when he was attacked by a shark on Thursday.

Nick Arthur was jumping over waves on a sandbar about 25 feet offshore when he started screaming, his father told CNN.

"At first I thought he was screaming out of joy, and then I looked at him and saw the shark," Tim Arthur said.

The shark had its teeth around Nick's thigh and was not letting go, Arthur said.

"He was screaming 'Get it off me. Let me go' and I jumped into action," Arthur said.


Comment: Another person was attacked by a shark on the same day in the Bahamas.

If you live in Sierra Madre, you live with bears. They are common visitors to the neighborhoods pressed up against the San Gabriel Mountains.

But on Monday, a bear did something you rarely hear about: It attacked a 19-year old woman who had fallen asleep in her backyard.

"The bear really viciously started to scratch her and then started to bite into her and the only thing she could do is to grab her laptop and start hitting the bear with it. And that managed to break the bear loose and she ran inside," said Capt. Patrick Foy of the California Fish and Wildlife Department.

Capt. Foy says that woman is now home recovering from the attack.

Slade Lake disappears overnight in Canada Nova Scotia in June 2020.
Picture in your mind's eye a bathtub that's a kilometre-and-a-half long by 200-metres wide. Then pull the plug. In essence, that is what's happened this spring to Slade Lake.

Two-and-a-half kilometres southwest of Oxford, Cumberland County, the large lake has been drained of its water by underground geological activity.

"The most obvious culprit for this is the water just disappeared down some of the sinkholes at the bottom of the lake," said Amy Tizzard, regional geologist for the Department of Energy and Mines.

"It could be that some gypsum dissolved (below the lake) or sediment or vegetation gave way... we can't really tell because we can't see to the bottom of it."

Comment: While the area may be vulnerable to erosion the question of what's driving the sudden increase, as well as the disappearing lakes, rivers, and even waterfalls...

Six cattle were instantly electrocuted following a massive lightning storm here on Wednesday.

At around 12.30 pm, a massive lightning struck at Algapur Part III killing two heifers and four cattle, each with scorch marks on their upturned bellies indicating how strong the voltage was.

On getting the information, District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Officer, RA Laskar reached the most interior place negotiating mud and slush. "I was stunned and shocked. It was a gruesome sight to see the cattle all in a row. It just seemed that they had been struck down where they were standing close to a submerged paddy field," Laskar said, adding, "Individual animals at this time of rainy season get killed by lightning. But I have never witnessed anything like this before."
