And as of Wednesday, Josh Gibson will replace Cobb as the leading hitter in the official records of the game. Thorn estimated that about 75 percent of all Negro Leagues box scores have been documented, and that MLB would update the records as more are uncovered. To some extent, Negro League numbers will always be a work in progress. Barnstorming games, essential as a financial lifeline to Negro League teams, are not included in the statistics. The scheduled games range from 26 (Negro American League, 1942) to 91 (Negro National League I, 1927).

A new species called the demon catshark has been discovered off the coast of Australia. The first found of its kind, the shark has ghostly white eyes and is likely an opportunistic hunter. Not much is yet known about this species of catshark, White said. "In deep water it'd almost just be like this ghost-like demon thing that would just be swimming really quietly through the water," White told Insider. The identification of the demon catshark is a landmark discovery for marine taxonomists.

''Scopul Listei Roşii este de a încerca să atragem atenţia la specii şi să stopăm dispariţia acestora, dar câteodată procesul avansează prea rapid'', a mai precizat acesta.Aşa numitul ''rechin pierdut'', care trăieşte în Marea Chinei de Sud, a fost descoperit oficial abia anul trecut pe baza unor specimene cu o vechime de câteva decenii. ''Există raze de speranţă, poveşti minore care ne arată ce se poate face'', a spus Hilton-Taylor, din cadrul IUCN. ''Ştim ce să facem, ştim ce specii sunt ameninţate. Este vorba doare despre cum să intensificăm eforturile'', a mai spus acesta.
