A new burger joint called In-I-Nout has opened in Sinaloa, Mexico, imitating the iconic features of California-based In-N-Out, including red booths, the yellow arrow sign, and a pastiche of Americana.

In-N-Out has declined to comment on the matter, suggesting a possible legal dispute. It remains unclear if In-I-Nout is a temporary or permanent business, but In-N-Out itself has not expanded into Mexico.
Killer whales near Spain and Portugal are colliding with and sinking boats, and researchers believe they may be imitating the behavior of a single female orca named White Gladis. The behavior may have been triggered after White Gladis was hit by a boat, or it may be playful. Orcas are highly intelligent and social creatures, and the behavior is spreading among the population. While the behavior is unlikely to spread to other orca populations, continued clashes with boats could result in serious injury or death to a person or a whale.
A traumatized female orca called White Gladis may be behind the rise in killer whale attacks on boats in the Atlantic Ocean, with other orcas imitating her behavior. Experts believe White Gladis may have had a "critical moment of agony," such as colliding with a boat or being trapped during illegal fishing, which may have traumatized her and caused her to start ramming other boats. While some experts believe the change in behavior may just be a "fad," encounters with orcas can still be terrifying for those on boats.
