Adrift for 49 Days
A 19-year-old Indonesian man, who spent 49 days adrift at sea, has finally been rescued. The teenager had taken shelter in a fishing hut when a storm broke it off its moorings, sweeping him out to sea. The makeshift wooden hut was his only means of survival for over a month. Reportedly, several ships passed him by, either failing to notice his distress or refusing to help. Finally, a passing ship decided to investigate, bringing him aboard. According to the Indonesian consulate, he is in healthy condition.
Tear-Drinking Moth
Researchers have captured rare footage of a moth sucking the tears from a sleeping bird’s eye. Moths and butterflies are known to seek out sodium and other nutrients in any sources they can find, sopping them up with their proboscises. More commonly found “puddling” on the ground to extract the nutrients from the soil, researchers have occasionally observed them slurping on animal eyeballs.
Seal Slapped Kayaker With Octopus
Fisherman and sailor stories sometimes seem unbelievable, but this lucky (?) kayaker has proof for his. While kayaking in New Zealand, Taiyo Masuda captured video of his friend receiving a surprise smack in the face by a seal with an octopus. They aren’t sure if it was an intentional prank or just an unintended consequence of the seal trying to get a better hold of the wriggling cephalopod.
