One cat owner was curious to know what their pet got up to during the day, so they put a camera on the animal. This experiment resulted in some pretty delightful footage! If you’ve ever been curious about the daily lives of our four-legged friends, this sweet video might answer some questions. Snowy the outdoor cat really seems to get around! In the clip, the cat began his excursion by wandering out of the garden and into an alleyway. There, he met another feline. These two enjoyed a confusing yet adorable social visit which involved Snowy running away and hiding underneath a parked car. @snowys_life0 I put a camera on Snowy and found this #cats #meow ♬ original sound – Snowys_Life After that, the kitty hopped up onto a fence and performed a very impressive balancing act by walking across the top. He also got himself a drink of water from what appeared to be a bird bath in a rooftop garden. Then, he decided to snack on some of the plants growing there. All of the activities in this video took place from Snowy’s point of view. Based on the footage, we’re guessing the camera was located somewhere on the cat’s collar. This gave viewers the opportunity to see the world as he does! This cat is an excellent jumper. Snowy’s owner has posted many other videos showcasing the daily life of this adventurous kitty. Some of these clips feature his encounters with other animals, like birds and squirrels. Others capture his incredible athletic abilities! Thanks to the camera on his collar, this cat’s tall jumps and long-distance leaps have been documented for all of us to enjoy. @snowys_life0 Snowy is a purr-kour expert #cat #meow#catsoftiktok #catparkour ♬ original sound – Snowys_Life “Snowy is a purr-kour expert,” his human joked in their caption. In many of these videos, the cat’s owner adds commentary to the camera footage, trying to guess what the animal is thinking during his daily activities. While we may never know what’s going on in Snowy’s head, but we can at least see where he goes. Isn’t it fascinating to see what things look like from a cat’s perspective?

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The National Park Service has doled out about $250,000 in taxpayer-funded grants to add LGBT landmarks to the National Register of Historic Places even as it faces a multibillion-dollar backlog maintaining the public land it oversees. Through the National Park Service’s so-called Underrepresented Communities Grant Program, which was designed to diversify America’s historical landmarks to include more racial and sexual minorities, the government agency is paying several other agencies and nonprofits to seek out “historic” LGBT locations and submit applications for them to the National Register of Historic Places, government spending records show. While the Park Service focused on ensuring that the gay community is represented equitably among designated historical locations, however, it faced an estimated $23.3 billion maintenance backlog during fiscal year 2023, which ended Sept. 30, according to a July report from the Congressional Research Service. One such grant paid out by the Park Service went to the State Historical Society of Colorado, a nonprofit, to survey at least 25 different LGBTQ historic sites in the state and submit at least three nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, federal spending records show. The grant, disbursed in April, is worth nearly $60,000. When the Park Service approves a landmark to be placed on the historic register, its owner becomes entitled to special tax breaks as well as access to many state and local grant programs. The National Park Service also awarded Washington state’s Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation $75,000 in April to identify an “outstanding representation of queer history” and nominate it for the register, records show. Additionally, the agency paid the state to “research and develop the first historic context statement to identify significant LGBTQIA2S themes in Washington.” As NPS spends on LGBTQ inclusion for national landmarks, it was roughly $7.4 billion behind on road maintenance, $6.2 billion behind on maintaining its buildings, roughly $1.6 billion behind on keeping its water systems functional, and nearly $1 billion deep in a backlog on trail maintenance as of fiscal year 2023, according to the Congressional Research Service. Many parks administered by NPS in Washington, D.C., for instance, are covered in trash. Until recently, some were occupied by large homeless encampments. Michael Shepperd, who owns an outdoors store in East Tennessee, voiced concerns in a December 2017 essay that decaying roads and bridges near Great Smoky Mountains National Park could lead to fewer visitors and fewer customers for local businesses. The National Park Service also issued $50,000 in grants between April 2023 and April 2024 to amend National Register of Historic Places applications for locations in New York City with links to the LGBT community, according to federal records. The agency doled out $25,000 to help the Hotel Chelsea in Manhattan resubmit its application, this time highlighting its significance to LGBT culture, and another $25,000 to the Jaffe Art Theatre in the East Village to resubmit its application to the register by emphasizing its importance to LGBT history. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whose agency oversees the National Park Service, appeared at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City in October 2023 to celebrate National LGBTQ History Month. “Tell me, in your own words, why places like this, like Stonewall, are so important to telling America’s story,” Haaland asked drag queen Pattie Gonia, a self-described “professional homosexual” and “queer environmentalist” who appeared with the Interior secretary for a social media post. “I think it’s because queer rights are more under attack than ever, and I think if we don’t acknowledge the past, we are bound to repeat it,” the drag queen said. “So, at a place like Stonewall, it’s a beautiful place, it’s a place where so much discrimination and hatred occurred against the queer community, but it’s also a place where resistance and queer joy and queer liberation happened.” The Stonewall National Monument includes a gay bar called the Stonewall Inn that was the site of a series of violent riots where homosexuals clashed with police officers in 1969. The National Park Service paid out another $50,000 to a nonprofit in Provincetown, Massachusetts, to amend the National Register of Historic Places application of the city’s historic district to recognize its significance to gay history, according to spending records. The agency has spent $7.5 million on its Underrepresented Communities Grant Program since 2014, with Congress apportioning $1.25 million for the 2024 iteration of the program, according to the agency. The National Park Service didn’t respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s multiple requests for comment.

European populations varied greatly over 40,000 years according to conditions, and when things got coldest people barely survived in some places, and didn’t elsewhere.

Over the summer, a vast stretch of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean experienced an unexpected and rapid cooling, setting new records. Now, that unusually cold patch is slowly returning to normal temperatures, but the cause of the sudden chill remains a mystery to scientists. Researchers are working to understand the reasons behind this abrupt cooling of the tropical Atlantic, yet they have found few clues. “Everyone is puzzled, trying to figure out what happened,” says Franz Tuchen, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Miami. The cold anomaly appeared as a band of ocean extending a few degrees north and south of the equator in early June, following a record-breaking ocean heatwave that lasted 40 years. Although the region naturally oscillates between cold and warm phases every few years, the speed of the transition from record highs to record lows was “unprecedented,” according to Tuchen. Michael McFadden, a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who monitors real-time data from buoys in the region, suggests the anomaly might be a temporary phenomenon. However, he acknowledges that it likely arose from processes that researchers do not yet fully understand. Scientists are studying a fairly large swath of the equatorial Atlantic that has cooled sharply since early June. Photo: NOAA Observations indicate that surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Atlantic reached a record 30 degrees Celsius in February and March. However, by June, temperatures had plummeted, hitting a low of 25 degrees Celsius in late July. Researchers speculate that this cooling could be a precursor to the development of an Atlantic Niña, a regional climate pattern that typically brings increased rainfall to West Africa and decreased rainfall to northeastern Brazil and the Gulf of Guinea. However, the Atlantic Niña is generally weaker than its Pacific counterpart, La Niña, and hasn’t been observed since 2013. For it to be officially declared, below-average temperatures would need to persist for at least three months, which hasn’t occurred—temperatures have been gradually warming in recent weeks, according to Tuchen. Despite the absence of an official Atlantic Niña, scientists remain uncertain about what triggered the sharp cooling in the tropical Atlantic. They have modeled several potential climate processes to explain the phenomenon, and while initial findings suggest it may not be directly linked to human-caused climate change, they are not yet ready to completely rule out this possibility.
