"Shocking Video: Great White Shark Thrashes Ashore, Prompting Sinister Theories"

A four-meter great white shark washed ashore at Kingscliff Beach, Australia, after being spotted violently thrashing in the shallows, and was euthanized by Sea World experts due to its poor condition. Despite efforts to save the shark, it passed away, and a necropsy will be conducted to determine the cause of the beaching. Experts suspect underlying health issues or ingestion of harmful substances may have led to the shark's distress, with this being the seventh shark sighting in the area this year.

Tragic End for Grizzly Bear in Glacier National Park

A five-year-old female grizzly bear in Glacier National Park was euthanized after exhibiting increasingly aggressive behavior due to receiving multiple food rewards from unsecured sources.
