[1/4] An employee works at a laboratory of Bene Meat Technologies company, which is planning to scale up production of lab-grown meat for use in pet food, in Prague, Czech Republic, November 7, 2023. Bene Meat has turned its focus to the pet food sector to deliver a product that can be marketed to global pet food makers as a raw material for inclusion in their final products. He said Bene Meat's costs would allow final products to sell around the price level of premium and super-premium pet food products on the market. The company is in talks with pet food makers on supplies, but also aims to work with them to potentially set up production lines at their current facilities. It also plans to develop its own brand of final pet food products.

The reason why certain whales are taking such a forward interest in boats is still unclear, but experts have a couple of theories. A pod of killer whales (Orcinus orca) swims together in the Strait of Gibraltar in August. The encounter usually ends once the killer whales break the rudder or the boat comes to a complete stop. “The official recommendation is not to do anything at all, turn off the engine or lower the sails and be as uninteresting to the killer whales as possible. “But this very vulnerable little population of killer whales depends on our love for them.

Footage shows an orca swimming off with a destroyed rudder after killer whales attacked a catamaran. The boat was sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar in April, an area where orcas have been targeting boats. Recently-posted footage appears to show one of the killer whales swimming off with one of the severed rudders. "We were about to cross shipping lines and turning south to the Canary Islands when we felt like we got bad with a wave," Kriz told Newsweek in a recent interview. Not again,'" Kriz told Newsweek.
