Casemiro was Manchester United’s man of the match in the win over Nottingham Forest and rightly took the plaudits. The Brazilian was outstanding, along with Marcus Rashford, who was hailed as ‘unstoppable’ by Erik ten Hag. One player who was a little overshadowed amid the outpouring of praise, was Christian Eriksen. The Dane provided a smart assist for Rashford’s opening goal of the game, with a corner-kick routine playing out to perfection. Eriksen is putting up impressive assist numbers Eriksen has quickly shaken off his World Cup disappointment, with a goal against Burnley and an assist against Nottingham Forest.

Bought when he was one of the most promising young stars by then-manager Louis van Gaal, Luke Shaw was always destined for the very top. A double leg break and some initial hiccups later, it finally seemed like the England man’s time had come. But a rocky relationship with Jose Mourinho ensued and at that time, a departure seemed highly likely. It seemed like the young defender would leave Old Trafford without having come close to fulfilling his enormous potential. But a resounding comeback and some decent displays under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer later, the main problem holding back the 27-year-old emerged — Shaw himself. It had become…
Sea turtles are among the most beautiful and peaceful animals on earth. They drift through the ocean with elegance and tranquility. For many who swim or scuba dive in the ocean, encountering a sea turtle is one of the most memorable experiences ever. To share the reef with them for a few minutes on their own terms is a magical experience. Occasionally, scuba divers may encounter a turtle grabbing a snooze on the coral or on the sea floor. A full grown sea turtle has only a few predators and they will rest on the ocean bottom with confidence, even…

In the heart of the North Island stands a forest unlike any other: the Whirinaki Forest. It’s one of the world’s last remaining prehistoric rainforests and it’s the most peaceful, mystical forest we’ve ever set foot in, with tons of hiking options to choose from.

The Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, has welcomed not one, but two new bundles of joy. The Asian elephant twins were born on October 24 to parents Mali and Doc, according to a news release from the zoo. The birth of twins was a shock for zoo staff, according to the release. Less than 1% of elephant births are twins – and when twins are born, they rarely survive. The first baby was born at around 2 a.m., weighing in at 220 pounds, says the release. Then, 10 hours later, Mali delivered a second male calf, much to the surprise…
Leopards are typically found living in trees. The tree is a much safer location for them than the ground. And because they have good balance, they can ғɪɢʜᴛ in the trees without too much difficulty because they don’t let themselves fall from the tree during intense battles. Of course, there is another species in the trees that the leopard cannot defeat. Compared to the leopard, this animal is more vicious, aggressive, and sᴋɪʟʟed at ғɪɢʜᴛing in trees. Since that time, they have refused to let any other animals share this secure refuge with them. That is the baboon. Sometimes baboons…
A group of researchers stumbled upon a grisly scene during a field study in Macedonia last year: a dead nose-horned viper with a centipede’s head sticking out of its ruptured abdomen. After a post-mortem, the scientists think it’s possible that the centipede quite literally eviscerated the snake from the inside out. “All of us were astonished, as nobody has ever seen something like this,” Ljiljana Tomović, a herpetologist at the University of Belgrade, told Live Science in an email. [Amazing Images of Snakes Around the World] Tomović and colleagues were tagging reptiles on May 14, 2013, on Macedonia’s Golem Grad, a 44-acre (18 hectares)…
