Roadkill. It's what's for dinner.

Tourists that travel to Yellowstone National Park - some 3 million every year - aren't guaranteed to see bears when they visit the nation's oldest national park. But there's always a good chance that a bruin is lurking nearby, or in the case of this video, a couple of bruins.

A video from Kodiak Island, Alaska shows a young wolf pup approaching a female grizzly and her two cubs, and while a wolf sniffing around a baby will cause most mothers to freak out and snap into defense mode, this grizzly has some experience and was content to watch the encounter unfold.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
