An orca repeatedly rammed a yacht in the Shetland Islands, a sailor told the Guardian. The attack follows a series of orca incidents around the Iberian peninsula. The 72-year-old Dutch physicist, an experienced sailor, said he had heard about orca incidents around Portugal, adding that he found the loud breathing of the orca the "most frightening."

The rising number of incidents has left researchers concerned for sailors' safety and the dwindling orca population around the Iberian peninsula.

Ireland offers generous cash grants for those who want to live on remote islands off its western coast. To meet the funding criteria, people must buy property on one of the idyllic islands. The new initiative will come into effect on July 1. However, a person must own property on one of the islands built before 1993 that has been vacant for at least two years. Something else to consider is that while anyone can own property in Ireland, that doesn't necessarily guarantee the right to live in the country, according to CNN.

Interbreeding with Homo sapiens helps to explain why millions can't straighten their fingers. There is also a Neanderthal gene variant that increases the risk of somebody dying from COVID-19. The study evidences that "intermingling" from Neanderthals and our Homo sapiens ancestors is consequential in examining the prevalence of certain diseases, researchers said. No more than 7% of the human genome is unique to Homo sapiens, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances. Brain development and function are what sets Homo sapiens apart, experts explained.
