Bedbugs. It’s a word everyone knows, but no one wants to hear. The last thing you want to deal with on your vacation is the possibility of bedbugs.

They are itchy, fatigue-inducing, and the ultimate way to ruin a trip. Unfortunately, bedbugs are everywhere. There are, however, some U.S. cities that have more bed bugs than anywhere else in America.

Most dogs are pretty fast when they have their eye on the ball. It could even be the sound of food hitting their bowl, or an enemy squirrel entering the yard, that gets them moving. Some dogs, however, practically break the sound barrier, reaching blinding speeds while maintaining the composure of a professional dancer. In this YouTube video, a dog blows the competition away with a race for the ages. Let loose, the dog chases after a lure and easily eclipses it halfway through the run.

It’s summertime, and both people and sharks are headed to North Carolina to soak up the tropical sun. One great white shark in particular, however, towers over the others en route to the state’s sunny shores. His name is Contender. At nearly 14 feet long, he is the largest mature male great white shark ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean. The OCEARCH Shark Tracker first tagged this behemoth in January, about 45 miles off the coast shared by Florida and Georgia.
