Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five
few new stories. This is pretty cool. England now has
a hiking trail that traces its entire coastline. It is
the King Trails, the third England Coast Path. It stretches
twenty six hundred and eighty nine miles around the coast
of England, making the first trail in the world to
follow the full perimeter of a nation's coastline. They've been
working on this for eighteen years and includes around one
thousand miles of newly built, connected or upgraded paths, along
with the new boardwalks and bridges. The trail was inaugurated
by the King himself, who looked delighted one walking part
of the newly completed route near the famous Seven Sisters
Chalk Cliffs. He was joined by Tony from Natural England.
They're the organization that oversaw the project. Tony said the
path is a testament to how public enjoyment, conservation, heritage,
history and community can come together, helping make life better
for millions of people. Before the route existed, it was
it's technically possible to walk the coastline bits and pieces,
but sometimes you had to walk on rods through weird gaps.
Now most of the route is continuous, with only two
real interruptions. One you have to take a ferry, all right,
Well that's a little cheating there, and another where a
river gets in your way. Close enough now, sometimes you
just want to get away. Well, an apossum did just that.
An apossum was stowed away on a northbound cargo ship
and ended up in Alaska, which is pretty far from
where a possums normally hang out. It was spotted in Juno.
One responder was like, I don't think that's an apossum
because we're in Alaska. But it was an apossum, and
the apostlem was chill. It didn't hiss, didn't bite, no drama.
The apostle was calmly guided into a trap like an
apossum that realized, yeah, I may have overshot this trip
a little. Here's the issue though, In Alaska, apossums are
considered an invasive species, so they couldn't just release him.
He now lives at the Alaska Zoo, where he's been
given a name Meatball. The zoo didn't have it a
possum since the previous bossom Grubby passed away last year,
so it kind of worked out. In Chile, they have
a massive new maritime protected area. The area now covers
about three hundred and eighty six thousand square miles. That's
bigger than Texas. It is the third largest protected marine
seascape of the world. The area includes whales, dolphins, turtles, octopus,
shiny lobsters, seabirds, a seal, not just one seal, you
know what type of seal, and a vast underwater mountain chain.
The mayor of Robinson Crusoe Island said, this commitment reflects
the heart of our community. Expanding marine protections is not
only about conserving biodiversity, It's about safeguarding our culture, our traditions,
and the future of our children. Well, some delivery robots
in Chicago are having a bad time. Two delivery robots
crashed into bus shelters on separate days. The first happened
when a robot operated by Serve Robotics crashed into a
Sea VTA shelter had grand and racine and shattered the glass.
The whole thing was caught on camera, and then the
robot just stopped and sat there like it had explained
what happened. A spokesperson for Serve Robotics said, we're aware
of the incident and one of our robots in Chicago.
No injuries reported. Our team responded quickly to clean up
and we're reviewing what happened to make improvements. We've been
in contact and we take this matter very seriously. Then
two days later, a different robot operated by Cocoa Robotics
smashed the glass at a bus shelter on North Avenue
near Halstead. Carl is the VP at Coco and said,
we're aware of an incident today in Chicago involving our robot.
This is something we take seriously and as well outside
the norm of our operations. He added the company would
cover the repair costs. In the UK, they are warning
about the danger of discarded vapes after a squirrel was
caught vaping on camera. Well maybe not vaping, but it
was chewing on a vape. Footage shows a gray squirrel
nibbling at the mouthpiece of a discord to nicotine vape
while perched on a wooden fence. Craig is a red
squirrel expert at Bangor University. He said the fruity smell
and flavoring and vape liquid might be what attracts the
animals in the first place. He said it would be
reasonable to assume that a vape would be more attractive
than a normal tobacco product that's not fruity. You don't
want animals ingesting nicotine. He also said eating a vape
is not part of their natural diet. The components aren't
something they encounter in nature. They can naut it and
consume some of the microplastics, so cut it out, everybody
in Those are your five good news stories for today.
Have a great day.
