☆ Crocodiles seemed to 'escort' a dog in danger to safety, and scientists aren't sure why they didn't just eat it
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Rebecca Cohen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Crocodiles appeared to nudge a stray dog to safety when it took refuge in a river. Scientists are not sure why the crocs didn't just eat the dog, as they were within "striking range." Scientists studying the reptiles can't make sense of why the crocs didn't just eat the dog. The pup eventually took refuge in the river Savitri, where three adult mugger crocodiles were floating nearby. "These crocodiles were actually touching the dog with their snout" the researchers reported in the study adding that the crocodiles "seemingly nudged and escorted [the dog] to safety."

☆ Shrek Crocs are officially real
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-17 | by ( Aj Willingham | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —In the distant future, archaeologists will happen upon a Shrek Croc, its soft vinyl unsullied by the ages, and they will have questions. Crocs, the brand behind everyone’s favorite unapologetically ugly shoe, has collaborated with DreamWorks to craft an extremely important cultural artifact: The Shrek Croc. Green, freckled, and just a little scary, the Shrek Croc (or Shroc, if you will) has long been a dream for some Croc lovers. There actually is a 2018 Change.org petition floating around to “Make Shrek Crocs Real.” The good people at Crocs know what’s up too: In the run-up to the shoe’s launch on September 13, the official Croc X account retweeted 20 identical messages from an account called “Shrek Crocs,” all reading “Make Shrek Crocs real.”“The wait is over for the most wonderfully hideous Classic Clogs,” the shoe’s description reads. There are Pop Tarts Crocs (Croc-Tarts), Lisa Frank Crocs, Barbie Crocs, Crocs with fanny packs and even scented Crocs Jibbitz — a combination of words commanding almost as much dark energy as “Shrek Crocs.”Most reactions to the Shrek Crocs fall into one of two categories: “I need them immediately,” or “If you wear these in public I will perform a citizen’s arrest.” If your thoughts lean toward the former, you may want to hurry.

Footwear companies have found recent success going public market, but not all by any means over the longer-term. In more recent history, the brand has collaborated with Rick Owens, Dior, and Manolo Blahnik, among many other big names in fashion. The current IPO market landscape The IPO market has been all but frozen since the pandemic stock offering boom crashed, and successful IPOs have included iconic brands, such as the Johnson & Johnson spinoff of its consumer health business which includes Tylenol and band-Aids in the Kenvue IPO. Still, while Kenvue was the biggest deal of the year, it's barely holding onto its IPO price today, according to CNBC and Renaissance Capital data, and the IPO market overall hasn't performed great after listing. The two potential paths of a footwear IPO can be tracked by the histories of Crocs and Allbirds.

The toothy reptiles were originally kept at a crocodile farm in Maoming, in the southern province of Guangdong. The outlet said it contacted local authorities who had warned residents not to venture out. A member of the emergency squad told Nanfeng Plus that they may have to euthanize the crocodiles rather than capture them. In China, crocodiles are prized for their skin and their meat is believed to have medicinal value in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Southern China and Hong Kong have been battered by downpours after typhoon Haikui ripped through the region last week.

Look closely among the droves of people in Lululemon leggings and Crocs next time you’re at the grocery store or the airport, and you might notice a curious sight: a woman dressed like a 1950s housewife. With her curled hair, full-skirted dress and high-heeled Mary-Jane shoes, she could be straight out of “I Love Lucy” or “Leave It to Beaver.” She might even be wearing an anachronistic frilly petticoat or apron. Wasn’t this a style that was left firmly in the past?

CNN —Opposites are said to attract, but the poles between Hailey and Justin Bieber couldn’t be further apart — at least sartorially. Was Hailey off to a sophisticated dinner and drinks, while Justin had just nipped out for a packet of M&Ms and some laundry detergent? Hailey, on the other hand, has worked to market herself as a modern-day It Girl, a title which unsurprisingly demands a captivating wardrobe. Justin and Hailey’s clashing ensembles sparked a thorny discussion on the semiotics of dressing as a pair. Had Justin committed to a pair of slacks or a button-down, his partner could have had her moment with no distractions.

Timothy Richards, chief executive of Vue International, Europe’s largest privately owned movie theater operator, said in a statement Sunday that it had seen its biggest weekend in four years for ticket sales. AMC (AMC), the world’s largest movie theater chain, said last week that 60,000 people had bought tickets see both films on the same day.
