A beloved baby dugong has died due to pieces of plastic clogging her digestive system, authorities said. The orphaned animal was rescued in Thailand earlier this year, and locals had taken to calling it Marium, meaning "lady of the sea". It had been under the care of Thai authorities since she was founded stranded on a beach in the southern Krabi province in April. They had fed her milk and sea grass, before releasing her back into the ocean a few times. But she came back each time, carrying wounds from her encounters in the sea. Last week Marium was found ill and refused to eat, losing a lot of weight, said Nantarika Chansue, one of the vets who took care of the dugong. She was pronounced dead on Saturday by the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources on its Facebook page.

While celebrities and Instagram influencers seem able to shed their pregnancy weight within a few months (while cheerfully chronicling the process on an hourly basis) the reality is quite different for most women.

While the NHS recommends waiting until after your six-week postnatal check before doing anything strenuous (longer if you’ve had a caesarean or complicated delivery), experts also recommend regular activity to keep you fit, help your body recover and possibly prevent postnatal depression. That’s all well and good, but being able to hit the gym when you’re trying to juggle childcare and everyday … [Read more...] about How a video game helped me get my body back after having a baby

A woman has told of the terrifying moment five huge dogs burst through her fence and began mauling her two-year-old niece. Sandra McKevitt was looking after Ella at her home in Dingle, Liverpool, when the neighbour's pets broke down the fence and began 'tearing away at her like a piece of meat' She told BBC show Defenders UK that they had been playing in the garden on May 7, 2016, when their family picnic turned into a nightmare. Sandra's neighbour kept XL American Bullys, which can grow to 11 stone in weight, the Liverpool ECHO reports. She recalled: "We were having a nice little picnic eating these cakes. I was aware of the dogs but they weren't barking, they just seemed, if anything a bit restless." Suddenly, the dogs used their strength to break through the fence. Sandra said: "The next minute there was this big bang, through the fence I just saw this big dog's head. It was growling and it looked so vicious. I could see its eyes were wild and I thought 'we are going to have to move … [Read more...] about Dogs burst in on family picnic and ‘tore at two-year-old like a piece of meat’

Justin Verlander has a second AL Cy Young Award – and a clear path paved toward Cooperstown. Verlander beat out teammate Gerrit Cole in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America revealed Wednesday night. Verlander got 17 first-place votes to 13 for Cole, who became a free agent after the season. Mets ace Jacob deGrom won the NL prize for the second straight year. He received 29 of 30 first-place votes, becoming the 11th pitcher to win Cy Youngs in consecutive years. He and Verlander are the 20th and 21st players to win the award multiple times. The 36-year-old Verlander won his first Cy Young in 2011 with Detroit, when he was also named MVP. Since then, he’d been a runner-up three times. “The adversity I went through puts a new perspective on everything,” he said. “I mean, still would’ve liked to have won a couple of them.” Verlander continued a marvelous second act to his career since a 2017 trade from Detroit to Houston. … [Read more...] about Astros’ Justin Verlander, Mets’ Jake deGrom win second Cy Young Awards
