Florida's falling lizards are getting used to cold winter temperatures

During a cold snap in southern Florida in January, residents were warned to watch out for paralyzed lizards falling from trees.

The lowest temperatures in a decade stunned and immobilized the lizards, causing them to lose their grip from their usually safe perches in trees.

Florida officials say several people charged in flying squirrel trafficking operation

At least seven people have been arrested and charged in an "elaborate organized enterprise" to smuggle Florida's flying squirrels -- protected wildlife in the state -- and sell them, investigators announced Monday.

Up to 10,000 traps were set up to capture the flying squirrels and as many as 3,600 of the animals were shipped overseas within three years "to be sold as exotic pets for hundreds of thousands of dollars," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said in a news release.

Japanese craft breweries are turning unsold beer into gin

This was going to be a big year for Japan. With the Summer Olympics due to be hosted in Tokyo, the island nation expected 40 million tourists to grace its shores.

But when Covid-19 took hold, the Olympics were postponed and the already struggling economy took a further battering.

The 380-ton "Lun-class Ekraonoplan" has moved for the first time in 30 years.
