Herpstreith, a nurse, had just given birth to her son Julien in St. Louis, Missouri, but instead of succumbing to weariness (like the rest of us), this supermom immediately jumped into nurse mode and performed her own newborn checkup – and Mooney was there to catch the magical event on tape. Despite the fact that Alexandria Mooney has photographed over 100 births, there was something special about Chelsea Herpstreith’s latest delivery. Mooney told CafeMom that Herpstreith gave birth on August 25, “not long before midnight,” but that she surprised the birth photographer with her one-of-a-kind birth plan before the performance.…

An .ᴇᴍ.ᴀᴄɪᴀᴛᴇᴅ lion that was saved from abuse in a circus is now so weak it can no longer stand after losing more than half its body weight in a zoo. Jupiter had been living in an animal shelter in Cali, Colombia, after being saved from a life of .ᴄɪ.ʀᴄᴜs exploitation where it had its claws cut off. But the healthy lion was transferred to the Los Caimanes zoo in the city of Monteria last year – where it rapidly dropped to just 14th and is so thin its ribs are skin. Leading attempts to restore Jupiter to full health…
Children are adorable, and when you add a second, third, or more to the mix, the “aww” factor increases exponentially. Parents of multiples experience parenthood differently. Some describe it as equal parts magical and the most difficult thing they’ve ever done. Parents of multiples are part of an exclusive group, chosen to embrace both the beauty and the challenges of growing, birthing, and raising multiple children at once. From the moment you’re told there’s more than one heartbeat, the entire experience of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood shifts. It can sometimes feel like your life becomes a sideshow.

Why was the new 2023 Kia Carnival better than Toyota and VAG in Russia? It would seem that in Russia, minivans are looked upon skeptically, but this does not apply in any way to the Kia Carnival 2023. This model deserves attention from all categories of car enthusiasts, as it includes premium equipment, chic looks and reasonable cost. The car has been on sale in this generation since 2020 and expects minor upgrades in terms of equipment in the coming year. Of course, this will have to be reflected in the price of the car, which, by the way, is…

The larval form giant bump-head sunfish had remained a mystery to ocean scientists – until now. Scientists from Australia and New Zealand have finally uncovered the early life stage of one of the largest fish on the planet, the giant bump-head sunfish (Mola alexandrini). Interestingly, the larva of the giant bump-head sunfish is ridiculously tiny and resembles something between a cinnamon crunch and a snowflake. The discovery was announced by the Australian Museum, whose collections were integral to the research. This species of bump-head sunfish is one of three Mola species that occupy Australian waters and is matched in weight…
The discovery took place on the beach at Destiladeras on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Shocked locals discovered the creature which they believe may have come from the depths of the ocean.

We drive the new Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV in 450 4Matic specification ahead of its Australian arrival. The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is arguably one of the most exorbitant and ostentatious new cars of 2022. Not without merit – and we’ll come to that in a moment – it launches just as the country prepares for what looks to be the most significant cost of living crisis in a generation. But to dismiss it as a fancy, frivolous and irrelevant stagecoach for the world’s super-rich would be unfair. Mercedes’ very own S-Class has always been seen as a springboard for new technology,…
The stretched Bentley Bentayga EWB luxury SUV arrives to replace the Mulsanne as the brand’s new flagship. What a difference 180mm makes. The extra length the Bentley Bentayga EWB (standing for extended wheelbase) gets over the standard Bentayga all sits behind the B-pillars. As Bentley’s interior design boss Darren Day explained to us: “We thought about adding some space in the front, but we really wanted to spoil the rear passengers.” If anything, what equates to an extra seven inches makes the Bentayga EWB look better; the elongated rear doors and roof give it an elegant look that the standard car doesn’t…

Maya said:” Honestly I was so tired of…
A sperm whale that per.ished after being stranded in the Thames Estuary had no evidence of recent feeding. Scientists examined his 12.44m bones and discovered that his stomach was empty when he breathed his final breath. The absence of squid beaks, the sperm whale’s principal diet, indicates that the animal has been away from its typical home for some time. Over the weekend, the marine animal per.ished in the Swale tidal canal in Kent, far from the deep seas where marine animals are regularly found. It had been unable to flee for three days after being discovered on Thursday morning,…
