Personal opinion: As a passionate football fan, I have always been fascinated by how different pundits evaluate the skills and contributions of players on the pitch. Recently, the British publication Give Me Sport published a list of the 15 best strikers in modern football, causing debate among fans and analysts. While I agree with many of the picks, I also think there is more to consider when evaluating the best power forwards in the modern game.

Rider safety in focus: FEI pushes for helmets and vests amid growing concern

The International Federation of Equestrian Sports (FEI) has launched a global initiative to improve the safety of riders, advocating the mandatory use of helmets and safety vests during all equestrian events. The move comes in response to growing concerns about driver safety following several high-profile crashes in recent years. Driver safety concerns Equestrian sports have always had inherent risks, but recent accidents have highlighted the urgent need for stricter safety protocols. For example, top rider Charlotte Dujardin suffered a serious fall last year in London that could have been fatal if it weren't for her high-quality helmet.

The video, filmed by researchers at the Kinabatangan Nature Reserve in Sabah, Malaysia, shows an orangutan carefully selecting leaves from a particular plant and then methodically applying them to a wound. The orangutan appears to be in some discomfort, but remains patient throughout the process, gently pressing the leaves against the injured area. Although the exact species of plant used by the orangutan remains unknown, researchers believe it has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. This knowledge of medicinal plants was likely passed down through generations of orangutans, highlighting the deep cultural traditions of these intellig...

We learn about animals that can communicate with each other in ways we don't understand, animals that can travel long distances without a map, and animals that can survive in extreme environments. 1. Animal communication Animals communicate with each other in different ways, using sounds, smells and even body language. Some animals, such as whales and dolphins, can communicate with each other over long distances using sound. Others, such as ants and bees, use pheromones to communicate food sources and danger to each other. We are just beginning to understand the complex ways animals communi...
