Pictures of the creepy discovery has sparked a viral frenzy as online commentators debate what lurks beneath Britain’s lakes. The images have been shared more than 200 times in a bid to clear up the peculiar find. Shocked walkers came across the carcass on the banks of Hollingworth Lake in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, yesterday. This mystery “beast” found washed ashore in Manchester could be an ancient sea creature. Some have named the creature the “Roch Ness Monster” – with the lake 400 miles from Loch Ness. The strange five-foot fish still had a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Michigan was digging into a field, for the purpose of drainage, when, about eight feet deep, they encountered a substance that looked like wood. As the Detroit Free Press reports, the farmers soon realized they were hitting not wood, but bone. Is it a ᴅιɴosᴀuʀ bone? They called the University of Michigan, who relayed the news to Daniel Fisher, at the school’s Museum of Paleontology. Upon arriving at the scene, Fisher determined that it wasn’t the ᴅιɴosᴀuʀ the farmers had found – it was a мᴀммoтн. Fisher and his colleague had just one day to uncover the мᴀммoтн’s skeleton, because the farmers needed to get on with their work, according to the Free Press. They were able to find a head, tusks, ribs and some vertebrae; the missing pieces may have been taken away by humans who possibly κιʟʟᴇᴅ the creature for food. There have been 30 or so other мᴀммoтн found in the state, the Free Press reports; this one, Fisher told the paper, may be a Jeffersonian мᴀммoтн—a hybrid tha...

Isгael is pгepaгing a suгpгise in 2025. The Sikoгsky CH-53K helicopteг is coming soon with a myгiad of adʋantages it has. Sikoгsky CH-53K is a helicopteг made in the United States. Cuггently the ʋehicle is still in the opeгational testing phase. The US Maгine Coгps is гeady foг the initial opeгational aггiʋal of the CH-53K King Stallion heaʋy transpoгt helicopteг this yeaг. As is known, the CH-53K heaʋy transpoгt helicopteг will go into full-гate pгoduction in 2023. This was гeʋealed by the pгogгam manageг who told the media on Apгil 5. Colonel Jack Peггin said the fiгst CH-53K opeгational squadгon, Maгine Heaʋy Helicopteг Squadгon (HMH) 461, гeceiʋed its fiгst two helicopteгs in Januaгy.

Not only was Megalodon the biggest prehistoric shark that ever lived; it was the largest marine predator in the history of the planet, vastly outweighing both the modern Great White Shark and ancient reptiles like Liopleurodon and Kronosaurus. Below you’ll find 10 fascinating facts about Megalodon. Since Megalodon is known by thousands of fossilized teeth but only a few scattered bones, its exact size has been a matter of contentious debate. Over the past century, paleontologists have come up with estimates, based mainly on tooth size and analogy with modern Great White Sharks, ranging from 40 to 100 feet from head to tail, but the consensus today is that adults were 55 to 60 feet long and weighed as much as 50 to 75 tons and some superannuated individuals may have been even bigger. Megalodon had a diet befitting an apex predator, feasting on the prehistoric whales that swam the earth’s oceans during the Pliocene and Miocene epochs, but also chowing down on dol...

IN 1900, WITH SPACE IN the 46-square-mile peninsula of San Francisco quickly becoming a premium, the city’s Board of Supervisors voted to reclaim some room from the dead. First, they ceased further burials within city limits. Then, in 1914, on the back of a developer publicly valuing cemetery land at $7 million, the city began the arduous and ramshackle process of evicting the deceased. Over the next 40 years, nearly 150,000 bodies were exhumed and relocated a few miles south to the city of Colma; currently, dead residents outnumber the living there roughly 1300-to-1. But the relocation process wasn’t as fastidious as you’d expect. Records were transferred incorrectly, family plots were split apart, body parts were transposed and mixed with others, often in mass graves. On May 9, 2016, as construction crews were renovating a home in the city’s posh Richmond district, they struck something with their shovels. Under the garage floor was a tiny coffin made of lead and bro...
