Nature is wild.

These creatures are out here fighting to survive, whether they are hunting or being hunted.

There’s no better place to see this sort of wild stuff than somewhere like Grand Teton National Park. It is home to a very healthy population of grizzly bears and lots of other animals too, like elk.

Grizzly bears are a favorite for people to see, they truly are an amazing animal. They are at the top of the food chain wherever they live, reaching weights of over 800 pounds, and able to consume 20,000 calories in a day.

These beasts get big and need to...

Many people might wonder what the difference is between crocodiles and alligators, and the answer is not a whole lot when you're trying to avoid them. Alligators have darker skin than crocodiles and a more rounded nose. They are found in freshwater — lakes, streams, and rivers — unlike crocodiles, which generally survive in salt water, often near the coast. Perhaps the easiest way to spot the differences between them is by their teeth. A crocodile's bottom fourth tooth on each side always sticks out when its mouth is closed, whereas an alligator's slides into the upper jaw.

Pure, unbridled power.

Some Alaskan anglers went out on the Kenai River to catch some fish, and though they probably did reel in more than a couple of catches, the biggest moment of the day came when a massive moose crashed their fishing spot.

Now to be clear, it's not uncommon to see a moose running about in Alaska. There is an estimated population of about 200,000 in our northern-most-state. However, humans rarely ever get to witness a sizable creature like this showing its upmost physical capabilities.

If you've ever tried to run into the ocean, you know how hard it can be...

If given the choice between hitting the field for one snap in football pads against the Florida Gators' defense, or having a chance encounter on a golf course with an actual alligator in the Sunshine State, I'd take my chances on the former option. Even without pads, perhaps.

Because my goodness, I couldn't want any less part of this gator who emerged from the water with a massive fish in tow.

As a basketball fan, you should know Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year, $50 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks earlier this week. As a result, Thompson is no longer a member of the Golden State Warriors. Thompson should be able to bounce back in Dallas, Texas, after a 2023-24 NBA season with a slow start that was later improved.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
