Portsmouth, NH

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

A pod of orcas smashed a $128k yacht into pieces in the Mediterranean in a two-hour attack described by its owner as “terrifying.” Robert Powell, the owner of the 39-foot Bonhomme William, told the New York Post that he had set sail from Vilamoura, Portugal only a day prior on a birthday trip to Greece when the orcas struck. “To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing,” Powell told the Post. “They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” he added. Powell described five orcas circling...

Alligators are not native to Washington State and could not establish a population in the region because of its cool climate. But somewhere in Snohomish County, a very large gator is on the prowl.
“Granite Falls Deputies are investigating the sighting of a 10’ alligator near the 9400 block of Ray Grade Rd.,” the Snohomish County Sheriff announced late Friday via X. “The reptile was last seen south of Ray Grade Rd. toward the Pilchuck River.”

A humpback whale that is missing its tail and was spotted in Washington state's inland waters likely lost its iconic flukes after becoming entangled, possibly in some kind of line or fishing gear, experts say. That loss of the flukes, used for propulsion, would appear to be a death sentence for the creature, last reported as seen in late July.Jessica Farrer, research director with The Whale Museum on Washington's San Juan Island, was among those who responded to a sighting of the whale July 23 off a nearby island. The institute, as part of its work, helps respond to reports...
