Your husband forgot your birthday. A semitruck cut you off in rush hour traffic. Your dog went to go cuddle with someone else as soon as you started petting him.

When scientists at the park in Gabon, Africa, initially set up the camera, they were hoping to capture snippets of lions and leopards.

Over the past decade, an increasing number have begun turning their “waste wool” — aka the low-quality wool that can’t be used for fabric and typically gets tossed — into fertilizer. Unwashed raw wool boasts plenty of nutrients plants love, like nitrogen and potassium, making it a prime candidate for providing soil nourishment.

Did you know that dogs can donate blood? We don’t often think of pups as needing transfusions the way humans sometimes do, but everything from injuries to blood clotting disorders can cause canines to require donated blood. And Sharwood, an adorable 8-year-old Gordon setter from England, has risen to the occasion more than any other, saving over 168 pups’ lives and nabbing the Guinness World Record earlier this year for the most times a dog has given blood.

“I had no answers, no one to turn to.” That’s how Halle Berry felt when she first started experiencing disruptive perimenopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog) that her doctors offered little help for, she told Time magazine. “I was floored to find the dearth of nothingness in this space — and how little doctors knew.
