Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:39:54 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Marcus Stroman is getting used to Major League Baseball’s new pitch clock. And it’s no small deal for the Chicago Cubs right-hander.“It’s tough,” he said. “It’s a big adjustment.”Stroman committed baseball’s first regular-season pitch-clock violation Thursday in the third inning of the Cubs’ 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on opening day. It was the first of 14 violations in 15 games on a day the average game time was 2 hours, 45 minutes. Five violations were by batters, eight by pitchers and one by a catcher as all MLB teams opened on the same day for the first time since 1968.Stroman took a long look at rookie Brice Turang leading off second base with no outs and Christian Yelich batting at Wrigley Field. Just as Stroman turned his attention back to Yelich, plate umpire Ron Kulpa called the violation for taking too long to deliver a pitch. Kulpa pointed to his wrist in announcing the call, and the automatic ball made it a 2-2 cou...

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (WSVN) — A Mallard duck was found with an arrow through its neck in a park located in Costa Mesa. The arrow, believed to have been shot from a crossbow, narrowly missed the bird’s trachea, providing a small ray of hope for the bird’s survival.The Mallard was discovered by a 10-year-old girl from Silverado who noticed the bird’s distress and immediately called for help. Wildlife experts from the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach were called to the scene and were able to safely sedate the bird and remove the arrow.Despite the traumatic injury, the Mallard duck is now recovering at the center, much to the surprise of the staff. “We can see the wall of the trachea up here and the arrow is right next to it, so it narrowly missed going through the trachea which we were very relieved to find out,” said Dr. Elizabeth Wood, who treated the bird.Animal control officers are now working to get DNA off of the arrow ...

New study finds T-rex may have had lips covering teeth

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:39:54 GMT

The iconic image of the T-Rex, with its sharp, jagged teeth menacingly protruding from its mouth, may not be entirely accurate, according to a new study published in the Journal of Science.An international team of scientists examined the tooth structure and other features of predatory dinosaurs, including the T-Rex and the Velociraptor, and found that their mouths likely had scaly, lizard-like lips covering and sealing their teeth.This finding challenges the commonly-held belief that these prehistoric predators had visible upper teeth that hung over their lower jaws. Instead, the researchers suggest that the dinosaurs’ mouths more closely resembled those of lizards, rather than crocodiles.The scientists also believe that these lips likely did not have muscles, meaning the animals could not curl their lips or snarl. This means that the fearsome snarls and growls that we associate with these dinosaurs in popular culture may not have been possible.While the image of a toothy T-Re...
