From Eurasia to present-day North America, these were the 3 prehistoric felines that dominated the planet with their hunting skills. Prehistory is the longest period in the existence of the Earth. As such, it overflowed for millennia into predatory species that no longer roam our planet today. Among the most lethal and assertive to hunt, prehistoric felines were found. Here we describe the most impressive of them, for their dimensions, lethality and survivability. How were the felines in Prehistory? The Ice Age was characterized by the presence of the so-called megafauna. That is, a large number of wild animals such as mammoths and big cats, among others. These animals have always impressed humans, not only because of their rarity (since they are now extinct), but also because they have unique characteristics that make them representative of the history of nature on our planet. The following are the 3 prehistoric cats that dominated Eurasia to present-day North America: Smilodon is an extinct genus of felids, which are commonly known as "saber-toothed cats". It formerly inhabited what are now the grasslands of the western United States until about 10,000 years ago. Three different species are known from this genus: Smilodon fatalis, Smilodon po[CENSORED]tor and Smilodon gracilis. The Smilodon fatalizes the best known and studied species, due to the fact that more than 3,000 fossilized skeletons of this animal are preserved at Rancho La Brea in California. This cat weighed between 300 and 500 kilograms, and fed on large mammals such as bison, young mammoths and sloths. This diet earned him one of his most distinctive characteristics: his sharp fangs up to 20 cm in length. The Smilodon coexisted with human groups. Their extinction is attributed mainly to hunting and because they did not adapt to a change in diet after the disappearance of large herbivores, such as mammoths. Panthera blytheae, the oldest of the prehistoric cats The Panthera blytheae is an extinct species. It lived almost 6 million years ago, making it the oldest known species of the genus. Little is known about this species and its habits, as only one fossil skull of this species has been found so far in the Tibet region. Until 2010, the year researchers made the discovery, the oldest remains of big cats were almost 4 million years old. According to existing records, this prehistoric feline bears similarities to the snow leopard. The cave lion or Panthera spelaea is an extinct species that lived throughout the region from what is now Europe to Asia, as well as in North America. In 2015, two fossilized cave lion cubs were found in the Siberian steppe. This allowed dating its antiquity between 25 thousand and 50 thousand years. Like other big cats, the cave lion fed on herbivores such as mammoths, bison, reindeer or deer. Its disappearance coincides with that of the end of the Quaternary period, when most of the megafauna species of the ice age disappeared. It is also attributed to the coexistence with humans who hunted these cats. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/asi-fueron-los-felinos-prehistoricos-que-dominaron-la-era-de-hielo/

EV start-up Munro Vehicles is gearing up to reinvigorate the Scottish car industry with its all-terrain 4x4, which it will supply to US industrial operations – including gold mines in Nevada – from 2023. The 371bhp 4x4 is one of a select few commercial EVs currently on the market and includes useful features such as permanent four-wheel drive with locking differentials. Payload and towing capacities are competitive with the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial and Land Rover Defender Hard Top. This means the EV could offer buyers a zero-emission alternative to the usual diesel suspects – so long as buyers can live with the 168-mile range and a price of around £75,000. Munro follows East Lothian-based Raptor Sports Cars in reviving the Scottish car industry, which has not produced a car in significant numbers since the demise of the Linwood Peugeot-Talbot plant in February 1981. The new vehicle is currently available for UK pre-orders but will be offered in the US from 2023 as part of a tie-up with EV sales, leasing and distribution specialist Wyre. The firm will target various industries including Canadian forestry businesses, Floridian farms, Texan oil fields and gold mines in Nevada. Left-hand-drive cars will account for half of the Scottish firm’s 50-strong production run for 2023. It’s aiming to make 500 examples in 2024, 2500 in 2025 and 5000 annually by 2030. The firm also has plans to produce knock-down vehicle kits (to be assembled in the US) should demand exceed the capacity of its Glasgow factory. Such a scheme could allow it to qualify for the US’s new $7500 (£6372) EV tax subsidy, which applies to domestically built vehicles only. Munro CEO Russ Peterson said: “North America is a key growth market for Munro and we’re pleased to be able to partner with Wyre to realise our ambitions ahead of our original timeline. “We’re dedicating half of our 2023 production to left-hand-drive vehicles developed specifically for the US market, which Wyre will deliver to customers throughout the year.” Peterson added: “This is just the beginning.” Wyre UK managing director Rebecca Hansen said “the US is a massive market for this type of serious off-roader” and the firm is lobbying for the US to introduce a salary-sacrifice scheme for EVs similar to that offered in the UK. “The price point of the Munro vehicle at around £75,000 [$88,500 in the US] is compelling,” said Hansen. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/scottish-ev-start-targets-defender-£75000-4x4

Ukraine's military claims to have broken through Russia's first line of defence in the occupied Kherson region. The reported push appears to form part of a long-awaited counter-offensive being launched by Kyiv in an attempt to retake the country's south. It follows weeks of Ukrainian attacks aimed at cutting off Russian forces there from main supply routes. Russia's military claims that Ukrainian troops suffered "heavy losses" during an unsuccessful attacking attempt. The claims by both Ukraine and Russia have not been independently verified. Russia has occupied large swathes of Ukraine's Kherson region since its invasion began on 24 February. Early on Monday, Ukraine's Kakhovka operational group in the south said that one regiment of Russian-backed forces had left its positions in the Kherson region. It added that Russian paratroopers providing the back-up had fled the battlefield. Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky's head of office, later also said that Ukraine's armed forces "have broken through the frontline in several places". Meanwhile, eyewitnesses reported hearing more blasts in the cities of Kherson and Nova Kakhovka, about 55km (34 miles) north-east from the regional capital. The key crossings across the Dnipro River in the two locations have been repeatedly targeted by Ukraine's military in recent weeks. Russia's state-run Ria Novosti news agency reported that Nova Kakhovka was left without electricity and water supply overnight. In his late night video address, President Zelensky issued a stark warning to Russian forces: "If they want to survive, it is time for Russian soldiers to flee. Go home." Mr Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials have been tight-lipped about details of the reported counter-offensive, urging Ukrainians to be patient. Responding to the Ukrainian claims, Russia's defence ministry said that Ukrainian troops had attempted an offensive in the Kherson and neighbouring Mykolaiv regions. The ministry is quoted by Russia's state-run news agencies as saying this operation had failed, and that the Ukrainian troops had "suffered heavy losses". What weapons are being supplied to Ukraine? How risky is stand-off over Ukraine's nuclear plant? Kyiv officials claim to have used US-supplied Himars rocket systems to destroy three bridges crossing the Dnipro River. According to Western military sources, Kyiv's strikes are part of a targeted effort to cut off Russian troops on the right (western) bank of the river with the ultimate goal of recapturing the entire Kherson region. Moscow has relied on these bridges to resupply their troops. A deadlock that could break Analysis by the BBC's Hugo Bachega in Kyiv Ukraine has long been expected to launch a major offensive to retake Kherson. We could be seeing the beginning of it, although any operation is unlikely to be easy. Kherson has been under occupation since the early days of the war, and it's one of the largest Ukrainian cities in Russian hands. For weeks, Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Russian positions deep inside captured territory, away from the front lines. It's only been possible because of the sophisticated weapons supplied by the West - and it's having a destabilising effect on the invading forces. The conflict seems to be at a deadlock, with neither side making significant gains. This could be about to change. Russia captured the city of Kherson and its surrounding region with relatively little resistance in the early days of the invasion. The city, which had a po[CENSORED]tion of 290,000 before the war, is the only regional capital to have been taken by Russian forces and is currently administered by Moscow-backed officials. According to Russia's Tass news agency, officials in the Kherson region have started moving forward with plans to hold a referendum on formally joining Russia, prompting accusations by the US that Russia could be preparing to illegally annex parts of occupied southern Ukraine. Last month, Russia said its military focus was no longer only on eastern Ukraine but on its southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia too. In a separate development on Monday, Russian-installed officials in the Zaporizhzhia region claimed that a Ukrainian missile strike punched a hole in the roof of a fuel depot at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The claim has not been independently verified. In recent weeks, both Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of shelling Europe's biggest nuclear station, which was seized by Russia in early March. Moscow has kept Ukrainian personnel to operate the station. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the world narrowly avoided a radiation accident at the plant, blaming Moscow's actions for this. An inspection team from the UN nuclear watchdog is expected to arrive at the plant later this week, the organisation's head says. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62712299

At more than 557 meters deep, a team managed to capture a shocking video of the giant squid that inspired the legend of the dreaded Kraken. In Norse mythology, the Kraken (giant squid) is a sea monster that hides in the depths of the ocean and from time to time rises to the surface to sink ships with its powerful tentacles. This creature remained in the collective imagination of sailors for centuries, nourished by a rich oral tradition of sightings and shipwrecks, enlivened during the fiercest nights on the high seas. The giant squid and the legend of the kraken Although the notion that giant squid exist beyond the twilight zone of the ocean has accompanied humanity for centuries. However, what we really know about Architeuthis dux, the species that shaped the myth of the Kraken, is limited to descriptions of sightings on the high seas, as well as engravings and chronicles from the 16th century, which refer to encounters with sailors and even combat. with sperm whales How big is the giant squid? Despite the fact that it is the largest invertebrate in the world (marine biologists estimate that an adult specimen can reach up to 14 meters in length), the giant squid is one of the most elusive marine species to capture. Hence, the evidence of this species in its natural habitat is scarce and most studies come from dead specimens that have appeared on the coast. The only two video records that existed to date of a giant squid were captured in 2012 and 2019 by the Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA), an organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems and their species. Keep reading: They record an unusual transparent squid in the Gulf of Alaska However, a new study led by Dr. Edith Widder reveals what the last filmed encounter with an A. dux was like, as well as the technique that has led ORCA to capture this marine giant on video three times: Squid sighting In addition to the difficulty involved in submerging a device beyond the twilight zone of the ocean, the giant squid has highly developed senses: adapted to live beyond 500 meters deep, its eyes are the largest in the animal kingdom. Keep reading: They find the lair of a prehistoric kraken With 30 centimeters in diameter, these organs are designed to capture the greatest amount of light, a scarce element in the mesopelagic zone, a region where photosynthesis does not occur. This characteristic makes it even more difficult to see when exploration vehicles are used, whose vibrations and light emission are easily captured by the elusive specimens of giant squid, which flee in the presence of photographic devices. However, research published in Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers reveals a video captured in the Caribbean Sea, between 557 and 950 meters deep, in which a juvenile giant squid appears approaching a fluorescent bait placed by the team in front of the camera: How do the exploration vehicles work? This device emits blue flashes that mimic the bioluminescence of jellyfish, one of their favorite prey. Keep reading: They find the oldest relative of the octopuses, descendants of 'vampiropods' In addition, the ORCA team changed the camera's white light to red light, which has a wavelength that is less bothersome to squid and other deep-sea species better adapted to blue light and bioluminescence. These factors led to capturing not only the specimen of A. dux, but also other squid such as Pholidoteuthis adami, which lives in the same deep zone. The authors of the study hope that this pioneering technology will help to better understand the behavior, distribution and threats facing the giant squid, whose halo of mysticism and folklore is increasingly opening the way to scientific observations of the species. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/captan-a-un-calamar-gigante-en-el-caribe-la-especie-que-inspiro-la-leyenda-del-kraken/

This is the second generation of the Kia Niro, a car that’s nowhere near as revolutionary as the Kia EV6 but arguably more important for the brand, being its second-best seller after the Kia Sportage. And that highlights something quite unusual about the Niro: There's a Kia Niro hybrid, a Kia Niro PHEV plug-in hybrid and a Kia Niro EV. Accommodating both combustion engines and big battery packs on the same platform can lead to an unhappy compromise, but the original Kia Niro (2016-2022) managed to be both a convincing hybrid and an impressive EV when it came out. Today, though, Kia has more competition to worried about. The Toyota C-HR, Honda HR-V and Renault Arkana all want a slice of the hybrid crossover pie. The Kia Niro EV can sleep slightly easier for the time being, but there are hordes of new rivals on the horizon. The new Niro aims to build on the current one’s success. It sits on an all-new platform – the second-generation K3 platform also found beneath the Hyundai i30 – but follows much the same recipe as before. The hybrids get a mildly tweaked 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Electric assistance comes from a 1.32kWh battery and a 43bhp electric motor in the case of the regular hybrid or an 11.1kWh battery and an 83bhp electric motor in the plug-in hybrid. The fully electric Niro, which now takes the name Niro EV instead of Kia e-Niro, uses a 64.8kWh battery – the same as before – for a roughly 290-mile range. We will come back to that in a separate full road test, as the electric version has so far made up half of all Niro sales. Here, we're focusing on the full hybrid, which typically has taken 40%. Plug-in hybrids only account for a handful of Niros in the UK. While the Niro’s technical make-up remains much the same, the big changes are in the design. The old Niro was more butch MPV than crossover, but the new one has a more confident SUV stance and follows the EV6 and Sportage in adopting an aggressive, alien-like face. The Kia tiger-nose grille remains in a way but forfeits its original purpose as an air intake, becoming more of a decorative monobrow. What's the new Kia Niro like inside? The whole car has grown, too, becoming 65mm longer and 20mm wider. Whether that’s a good thing on crowded roads is one thing, but it certainly benefits the car’s stance and interior space. The back seat is now a realistic proposition for adults, and unlike in the Honda HR-V, that’s not to the detriment of boot space. Back to top At 451 litres, it's a good deal bigger than what you get in the HR-V or the C-HR but slightly smaller than in the Arkana. The hybrid battery naturally robs space compared with pure-petrol rivals. Despite the growth spurt, Kia has managed to avoid making the Niro any heavier. Thanks to the more flexible platform, the EV has even lost 70kg. The big leap on from the outgoing Niro is in the interior ambience. It emphasises the EV6 family connection with fused twin screens, wildly swooping lines and that curious two-spoke steering wheel. What’s remarkable is that the aesthetic actually works better on the Niro. Where the EV6 and Sportage have a bit too much shiny black plastic and scratchy surfaces for their price point, those cheaper materials sit more comfortable in the more affordable Niro. In fact, the designers have seized the opportunity to introduce some creative touches. Instead of the usual elephant-skin texturing, they’ve gone for a stone-like surface on the plastic door and dash panels, and there are flashes of colour to keep it all light. The trim panels are plastic but in the higher trim levels, they look like tarnished brass. The seats and headlining use recycled materials, and leather is not an option. Amid all the style, function hasn’t been forgotten, with plenty of easy buttons and switches. Kia’s switchable dual-purpose touchbar for the ventilation and the infotainment shortcuts is a little fiddly, but we’ve seen far worse solutions. The seats are comfy and supportive, and the lofty driving position will be appreciated by SUV buyers, but taller drivers will wish for some more reach adjustment in the steering. The Niro has Kia’s standard infotainment system, which requires a cable for smartphone mirroring but is otherwise easy to use. What is the new Kia Niro like to drive? To drive, the Niro is… fine. The old one was lacklustre at best, and on the evidence of its commercial success, the new one probably needn’t do much more than that. However, given the dynamic sparkle evident in the EV6, we had hoped a little more progress. The powertrain is largely carried over but Kia still claims the new Niro is more than a second faster to 62mph, at 10.4 seconds. Our road test at the time found that Kia's figure was extremely conservative, and while we didn't attach the timing gear to the new one, we wouldn't be surprised if it still drops under the 10-second mark. It also feels less reluctant than before. From a standstill to about 40mph, the electric motor makes the Niro feel pleasantly torquey. At higher speeds, the engine has to work harder. It means the hybrid Niro is not exactly fast, but it's adequate and Kia has done a good job keeping the engine noise out of the cabin. The only time the engine feels slightly coarse is when it unexpectedly has to fire up, especially from cold. Overall, this is possibly the most refined hybrid in its class. It also achieves impressive economy. On the motorway it will average well over 60mpg with ease and even if you cane it on some back roads, the Niro refuses to dip under 40mpg. In mixed usage, high 50s ought to be realistic. Kia and Hyundai used to lag behind Toyota when it came to the efficiency of their powertrains, but they appear to have closed that gap now. As before, you get two driving modes: Eco and Sport. The old Niro suffered from overly languid throttle calibration in Eco mode, but that has been addressed now. Apart from having no reverse gear (that is taken care of by the electric motor), the dual-clutch gearbox is utterly conventional. In this case, there’s nothing wrong with that. Having six gears to cycle through means it can't replicate the perfect smoothness in the Honda HR-V and the Toyota C-HR, but it does feel more direct and natural, both compared to its Japanese rivals, and Renault's E-Tech solution. If you desire a dynamic powertrain with instant responses, a mild-hybrid or pure-petrol alternative is still a better bet, because it can be slow to downshift when you demand more power. Article continues below advertisement Back to top Given all Niros use the same platform and look largely identical, you would expect them to feel broadly similar to drive. However, that is not the case at all. Where the new Niro EV is genuinely engaging thanks to feelsome steering and a keen front end, the Hybrid just handles securely but uninspiringly. There's more body roll, and the steering is quite light and mostly mute. It's the same story for comfort: even on the smallest wheels, the hybrid Niro's suspension can crash through potholes where the EV would soften off the edges. Compared to other hybrid crossovers, the Niro's ride is absolutely fine, however, and much improved over the old car. Surprisingly, the car we drove in the UK also performed better than the pre-production car we drove in Germany a few months back. Acoustic refinement isn’t the Niro’s strong point. Slightly more road roar, suspension noise and wind whistle filter through into the cabin than in rivals, but, like the ride, it’s nothing you wouldn’t quickly get used to. Should I buy one? Pricing and equipment for the new Niro is broadly in line with its rivals considering the equipment you get as standard. On the hybrid, there are three trim levels, simply named 2, 3 and 4; 2 costs £27,745, rising to £30,495 and £33,245 for 3 and 4 respectively. The full-hybrid powertrain has proven to be very efficient and more pleasant in daily use than its direct rivals. The Niro also scores with a thoughtfully designed interior that offers excellent space, looks that stand out from the crowd, strong standard equipment, good infotainment and Kia’s market-leading seven-year warranty. It's slightly frustrating that Kia wasn't able to make the hybrid handle as well as the EV and inject a touch more refinement. However, it improves on the old one in the ways that matter and secures Kia’s place at the top of a segment that’s only going to get more important. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/kia/niro

Hundreds of people are stranded across the river in the Manoor valley of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province after a flash flood hit the region on Friday, destroying at least ten bridges and dozens of buildings. "We need supplies, we need medicine and please rebuild the bridge, we are left with nothing now." Those are the contents of a handwritten note villagers throw to our team when we visit. The Manoor valley is located up in the mountains of Kaghan - a famous tourist destination in Pakistan. The valley has been hit by a torrential flood that killed at least 15 people, including women and children. Flash floods swept away the only concrete bridge connecting the scenic valley to the main city. Since then, all the villages on the other side of the river have been cut off and resident are waiting for help. The BBC's team reach the valley after a dangerous one-hour drive where the road was damaged at many points due to the flooding and landslides. In Manoor, two bridges have completely collapsed and a temporary wooden bridge has been erected. Here, we meet a woman sitting with her belongings. She tells the BBC she can see her home but is unable to reach it. "My home and my children are on the other side of the river. I've been waiting here for two days now thinking the government might come and repair the bridge. But authorities are telling us that we should start walking around the other side of the mountain to reach our homes. But that's a hike of eight to ten hours. I am an old woman. How can I walk this much?" She waits for a few more minutes and leaves when the rain starts again and water flowing underneath the temporary wooden bridge begins to swell up. We see men, women and children sitting outside their mud houses on the other side of the river. They wave at us thinking we are government officials. It is then that some of them throw us a piece of paper across the river, packing it into a plastic bag filled with stones in order to throw it to the side of the river where we are filming. This is the only way they can communicate with the other part of the village these days. Mobile networks do not operate here. The handwritten letter carries information about the losses they are coping with and also requests supplies and medicine for the stranded villagers. "Many people are sick and can't leave the village on foot. Kindly get the bridge built, it's the main connection with the city," the letter says. "We need supplies. We need a road," Abdul Rasheed, 60, tells us while speaking of his ordeal. He has lost his wagon to the flood - his only means of earning money to feed his family. "There are many other people who have lost their property and means of income," he says. "They need help. They need food. There was a small market here which was swept away. Shops had all the food and supplies. "My home is on the other side and now I'll have to walk for eight hours to reach my home. How can I do that in such an old age?" he asks. Many shops and hotels have been destroyed here. Soheil and his brother have lost their mobile phone repair shop to the flood. He tells the BBC he has three families to feed and is uncertain about his future now. "I don't know what to do. No one has come here to help us as we deserve. Every shopkeeper here is worried. They are all poor people who have big families to feed," he says. "These authorities and politicians come here for photo sessions and fun. They come, take photos and leave. No one is helping us." But the deputy commissioner of the district tells the BBC a comprehensive rescue and relief operation was carried out immediately in the area and all the hotels have been evacuated. He adds that an assessment has already been made about property damages. "We have completed the assessment and flood victims will be compensated soon," he states. "Work has already started regarding reconstruction of the bridge, but it will take some time." In Pictures: Floods and fear in Pakistan While the government blames climate change for the flooding, communities are criticising government and local authorities for allowing builders to construct hotels on the banks of the river. "These hotels and markets blocked the natural waterways, and so we are witnessing much bigger losses due to the floods which could have been avoided easily," says another resident in the main market of Kaghan. Many hotels are built on the banks of the River Kunhar in Kaghan and the adjacent valleys. Floods have destroyed some of them, along with a police station and a religious school. A few hundred metres from the police station, a family sits in a temporary tent right on the river's bank. They say eight members of their family were washed away by the same flood. Heavy rains and floods are wreaking havoc across Pakistan. More than 1,000 people have been killed while millions have been displaced. Officials say at least 700,000 homes have been destroyed. With millions waiting for food, drinking water and shelter, rescue teams are struggling to reach these cut-off communities. Provinces like Sindh and Balochistan are the worst affected but mountainous regions in Khyber Pakhtunkha are also badly hit. Pakistani troops have also been called in to assist aid agencies in reaching the flood-affected areas as road links have been damaged and the only way to reach most communities is with helicopters. Pakistan's government is also appealing to friendly countries, donors and international financial institutions to assist them in coping with the calamity. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62710230
