And while some felines might not mind a swim — certain breeds, including Turkish Vans and Maine coons tend …

A fascinating new study has shaken up our understanding of Earth’s oceans. It reveals that around 15 million years ago, something remarkable happened beneath the surface of the planet: the Earth “swallowed” billions of tonnes of water, causing sea levels to drop by a staggering 30 meters. This discovery, published in February 2025 on the AGU portal by researchers looking …
