Zoos throughout the country are continuing the Valentine's Day tradition of naming animals and critters after exes – some of which will meet an unfortunate end in nature's food chain. If you're trying to find a symbolic way to get over a former flame, care to benefit zoo ambassadors or have a Valentine with a ghoulish sense of humor, here are a few wildlife facilities that are hosting name campaigns. Bronx Zoo's Name a Roach New York's Bronx Zoo is bringing back it Name a Roach campaign for Valentine's Day. The program, which got its start in 2011, allows zoo guests to name a Madagascar hissing cockroach for $15 – digital certificate included. The naming of a cockroach doesn't have to be limited to exes, either. The Bronx Zoo encourages customers to name roaches after friends and loved ones. Orders can be placed online, and on Feb. 14, the Valentine's Day 

The FT's inaugural listing of Europe's Climate Leaders arrives as the effects of climate change are becoming ever clearer, and efforts to tackle it are starting to intensify. Later this year, world leaders will gather in Glasgow for COP26, a UN summit convened to advance efforts to reverse global warming. Adding urgency to their discussions is the fact that 2020 tied with 2016 for being the hottest year on record globally, and was the out-and-out hottest in Europe. While the new FT listing, compiled by research company Statista, details impressive corporate progress in fighting climate change, it also underlines the scale of the challenges still confronting business leaders and politicians. The 300 companies listed below are those that achieved the greatest reduction in their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity between 2014 and 2019. Emissions intensity is defined as tonnes of emissions of CO2-equivalent per €1m of revenue. Though some of the percentages are comfortably in

Yes, you read the title correctly — I grew up with an African dwarf frog as a pet. Not a dog, cat, hamster or bunny … but a small, 3-inch-long, brownish-green aquatic African dwarf frog. It was winter 2009, and many of my relatives decided to get frogs with us as Christmas presents for their families. Unfortunately for them, all of their frogs died after only four months. But my family's frog, Velma, is now 11 years old and counting! Because this is an unconventional "pet" to have, I wanted to share my experience with you in hopes you'll choose an African dwarf frog as your next pet. First off, I must mention that there were once two, Velma and Daphne. They got along well until Velma became increasingly aggressive and would sneakily eat all the food before Daphne could grab it. This sadly led to Daphne dying after five years, from malnutrition. So now it's just Velma, with her underwater plants and blue-colored rocks. African dwarf frogs are extremely easy t

There are 45 different fish species classified for state records with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Some of them, like the 69 pound 15 ounce Muskie that Arthur Lawton caught on the St. Lawrence River on September 22, 1957 or the 46 pound 2 ounce Northern Pike that Peter Dubuc caught in the Great Sacandaga Lake on September 15, 1940 may never be broken.

However each year, it seems like one or two of the records fall. That's what happened in 2021. northern pike caught on a minnow imitation lure Getty Images/iStockphoto loading... The first record of 2021 went down in June, when on the 13th Chase Soptelean reeled in an 13 pound 8 ounce Bowfin out of the Yanty Creek near Rochester and Lake Ontario. Seriously, I had never heard of a Bowfin but this is w

Officials are reminding residents to not dump their aquariums in the San Antonio River after finding non-native species that are wreaking havoc on the attraction's ecosystem.  The San Antonio River Authority detailed in a blog post on Friday, November 12, how two invasive species are negatively impacting the river. The species are the plecostomus and the vermiculated sailfin catfish, both commonly referred to as armored catfish. According to the River Authority, aquarium hobbyists purchase non-native species from pet stores for their homes. However, when they outgrow the tanks, officials believe some owners choose to release the non-native organisms into local creeks — and the San Antonio River.  "While they may be well-intentioned, these citizens are unknowingly wreaking havoc on the San Antonio River ecosystem," the blog post stated. "These fish burrow into riverbanks, leading to erosion and even bank coll

A series of vicious piranha attacks in Paraguay has claimed the lives of four swimmers and wounded nearly 20 more. On January 2, a 22-year-old man died after being brutally attacked while swimming in the Paraguay river in Itá Enramada, south of the capital Asuncion. His relatives noticed him vanish from sight and alerted the authorities, prompting a 45-minute search before his badly mauled body was discovered. A 49-year-old man was also slain in the Paraguay River near Puerto Rosario, his corpse discovered with bite wounds after he went missing. The forensic report claimed that the man was most likely attacked by piranhas who targeted his face.

A popular Boiling Spring Lakes restaurant has closed its doors for good but a new eatery plans to open in early February. According to the restaurant's website, Joe Loves Lobster Rolls, 3148 George II Highway, decided to close after the main ingredient on the menu became too costly. "It comes with a heavy heart, but it is the cost of lobster that has made the decision for me to discontinue service," the website states. Owner Tony Herndon got in the lobster roll business in 2013 in Savannah, Georgia, and landed in Boiling Spring Lakes in 2017. Joe Loves sold what fans described as an authentic Maine lobster roll, a fairly new and still rare item at Wilmington-area restaurants and food stores. The menu featured lobster rolls, lobster mac and cheese, lobster grilled cheese and lobster over mixed organic greens.  For customers not wanting lobster dishes, the menu also included Philly cheesesteaks, half-pound Reubens and clams. Herndon also was known f

Mining company Donlin Gold is seeking to develop one of the world's largest open-pit gold mines near Alaska's Kuskokwim River, a spawning ground for several species of salmon, which make up 50 percent of local communities' diet and subsistence lifestyle. According to Donlin Gold, Native corporations have already approved of the mine and the best available technology will be utilized to meet or exceed all air and water quality standards while providing employment opportunities. Tribal leaders argue Native corporations agreed without consulting tribal governments, who are shareholders, and fear mercury contamination and the disruption of their access to hunting and fishing grounds, as underlined in the project's Environmental Impact Statement. Tribal councils have brought the matter to the Alaska Superior court and are appealing two certifications necessary for construction due to exceeded levels of mercury and impacts to salmon streams.
