Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Earlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams made two big announcements regarding the plan: the pool will officially be located at Pier 35 in Manhattan right next to the Lower East Side and a three-month “water filtration demonstration project” will kick off this month.

Three months ago, a one-year-old dog named Robert arrived at the The Animal Protection League Inc., Indiana in Anderson, Indiana.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

It takes a lot to make an orchid thrive. The humidity, temperature, sunlight, soil and watering have to be absolutely perfect for blooms to appear and stick around. (I know because I’ve said “goodbye” to my fair share of orchids I’ve tried to propagate.) But the Queens Botanical Garden seems to have cracked the code—with some help from New York City’s thriving Taiwanese community.

This weekend is your last chance to see hundreds of gorgeous orchids in NYC this year.

A routine flight training session at the Minnesota Zoo turned tragic when a Eurasian eagle owl escaped its handler and landed in a tiger enclosure, where it was killed by one of the tigers, according to a U.S. Agriculture Department inspection report and zoo officials. The incident occurred on April 29 during a bird show training session at the zoo in Apple Valley, a suburb of the Twin Cities. The owl, which was in the early stages of its training, failed to return to its handler and instead flew into an outdoor enclosure housing tigers. The tiger in the enclosure preyed upon the owl before zoo staff could intervene, the inspection report stated.
