Travis Kelce will be inactive for the Chiefs' Week 18 game against the Chargers, as the team rests key starters, including Patrick Mahomes, ahead of the playoffs. Kelce had a chance to extend a historic statistical streak but will now get an extra week to rest after battling injuries earlier in the season. The Chiefs, already confirmed as the AFC's No. 3 seed, will rely on Kelce as a pivotal player in the postseason.
A new study challenges the belief that gray reef sharks, known as obligate ram ventilators, need to constantly swim to breathe. Researchers observed gray reef sharks resting under coral reef ledges in Seychelles, contradicting the previous understanding that these sharks cannot rest. The sharks remained still, except for lower jaw movements indicating a switch to buccal pumping behavior. This discovery raises questions about how sharks cope with rest and the potential impact of environmental changes on their breathing patterns. The findings highlight the importance of understanding the behavior of marine species for conservation efforts.

A video captured the rare phenomenon of a humpback whale engaging in "tail sailing," where its tail is perfectly poised above the water's surface. This behavior, observed in female whales with calves, could be a way for mothers to rest while their calves swim nearby. It is also possible that the whale is cooling down, as the tail contains high levels of blood vessels that could benefit from evaporative cooling. The exact reasons for tail sailing are not fully understood by scientists.
Sergei Surovikin, a Russian general and deputy commander of Moscow's military operation in Ukraine, has not been seen in public since the Wagner Group mutiny. A Russian lawmaker stated that Surovikin is currently "resting" and not available. Reports suggest that he had advance knowledge of the mutiny, but there is no official confirmation of his whereabouts or arrest. The Wagner rebellion, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, posed a significant challenge to President Putin, but a deal brokered by Belarusian President Lukashenko ended the rebellion. An uneasy ceasefire is now being observed between Russia and Wagner.
