The rare frilled shark is considered a "living fossil," as its makeup has remained unchanged for 80 million years. This summer, researchers found one alive and thriving off the coast of Portugal, adding evidence regarding the resilience of this ancient sea creature.

Cannonballs from culverins – primitive early medieval cannons – most probably used in 1461 during the conquest of the Zishtova Fortress by Wallacian Voivode Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler, from the Ottoman Turks have been discovered during excavations in Bulgaria's Danube town of Svishtov.

Zishtova Fortress, today's Svishtov, was a major battleground in the 15th – 16th century between Ottoman Turkey and the Voivodeship of Wallachia, the predecessor of today's Romania.

The Loch Ness Monster is still a mystery. But scientists have some new evidence for a theory.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/09/06/loch-ness-monster-is-still-mystery-scientists-have-some-new-evidence-theory/?noredirect=on

It was a science story made for the headlines: a monster, more than a thousand years of mystery and maybe, finally, an answer.

Neil Gemmell had that potential for publicity in mind when he led a team of scientists to look for DNA from the elusive Loch Ness Monster — and again when that team announced Thursday that a large eel could be behind all the speculation.

"I am unashamedly using the monster as a way to attract interest so I can talk about the science I want to talk about," the geneticist and professor at New Zealand's University of Otago told The Washington Post after a hectic day of dozens of media interviews.

More than a thousand Loch Ness Monster encounters are recorded in an official "Sightings Register." The reports go back as far as 565 A.D., when an Irish saint is said to have saved a man from being attacked by a river monster.

So is this a man-eating eel or just some sort of less interesting one?
