Feb 19, 2025 | misspursuit.com | Megan Plete Postol |Carly Brasseux

On the last weekend in October, I awoke in an old farmhouse Airbnb I was sharing with three other women in a very rural part of upstate New York. I made my way to the kitchen long before daylight to make a cup of coffee before pulling myself together for the day ahead. We were in the middle of a women’s waterfowl hunting weekend, and our target that morning was Canadian geese. One by one, the ladies stumbled out of bed, rubbed their eyes, and then started talking excitedly about the day ahead.

Frozen Saber-Toothed Cub Discovered In Russia

Dec 2, 2024 | themeateater.com | Eli Fournier |Megan Plete Postol |Maggie Hudlow |Travis Hall

Last week, researchers in Russia published a paper on a rare find: a mummified cub, from about 30,000 years ago. The mummy—complete with head, fur, paws, and the upper half of its body—is the first glimpse ever at the external morphology of an extinct cat with no present-day analogs.

Bear Hunter Facing Charges For Photo Shoot With Cubs

Sep 18, 2024 | themeateater.com | Eli Fournier |Megan Plete Postol |Lakhan Clark |Jordan Sillars

If there’s a universal truth about hunters, it’s that they can’t help but brag a little—even if it’s about something illegal. Any well-seasoned game warden knows this; and knows that the best place to find a criminal is at the local bar, running his mouth. In south central Montana, a textbook example played out this spring, beginning when a wildlife biologist in Carbon County caught wind of a secondhand story about a guy who captured two bear cubs and staged them for a photo shoot with his son.

She helped study the Civil War ironclad U.S.S. Monitor in its watery grave off Cape Hatteras in 2000.
