“Giants” on Curiosity Stream Thursday, goes ‘round the world to “find, film, measure and find out how to protect” the largest animals on the planet: elephants, lions, sharks, anacondas and saltwater crocodiles.Dan O’Neill, a field biologist and conservationist, is its history-making guide. He knows observing life in the jungle or on the savannah can at times be truly scary.“There was one moment filming lions, the biggest man-eating cat on the planet, in Kenya. We’d found one and I stood up in the back of the Jeep as the truck was running around in the high grass,” O’Neill, 31, said in a phone interview from the UK.“You’re just there. I mean, there’s no protection. You’re not in a box with bars protecting you. There’s not even sides to the Jeep. I was looking at the sleeping lion and suddenly he woke up, stood up, looked me dead in the eyes and took a step forward.“Honestly, it was probably the scariest moment of my entire life.

Aaron Judge homers twice in Yankees’ win as wandering eyes draw suspicion from Blue Jays skipper, broadcasters

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:55:01 GMT

TORONTO — While the Yankees’ early-inning pitching plans created conversation prior to Monday’s game, it was Blue Jays ace Alek Manoah who struggled in the opening frame.Aaron Judge, who hit his record-tying 61st home run at Rogers Centre last September, laced a solo shot off the righty in his return to the ballpark. The home run foreshadowed an erratic night for Manoah, who didn’t escape the first before also surrendering a two-run homer to Willie Calhoun.The Yankees tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning when Anthony Volpe doubled and later scored on a single from Kyle Higashioka. Judge then walked with the bases loaded to make it 5-0, a nice cushion in what became a 7-4 Yankees win.“Everyone’s chipping in,” Aaron Boone said afterward, adding that he’s like the Yankees’ approach at the plate lately.The damage could’ve been worse for Manoah, as he walked seven batters, thus continuing the 2022 Cy Young finalist’...
