These animals went extinct in the wild. Scientists brought them back
All of them went extinct in the wild -- and all of them came back, thanks to reintroduction programs. One of the most iconic reintroduction success stories, Przewalski's horse went extinct in the wild in the 1960s, but were returned to the Mongolian steppe in 1992. "The less time that has passed, the more likely that environment is the same as when the species went extinct," she says. "But you still need to address the reason why it went extinct in that environment to begin with." 2020 study highlighted species reintroduction as one of the most effective ways to save endangered animals.

Price earns 1st regular-season save, Dodgers top Rockies 7-5
Justin Turner and Max Muncy each hit a three-run homer, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 on Thursday night as David Price earned his first regular-season save. His only other save came as a rookie with Tampa Bay in Game 7 of the 2008 AL Championship Series against Boston. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts told Price before the game that he would get the ball in the ninth if the Dodgers had the lead. "That was the first time I’ve been able to pitch on this day," Price said of Jackie Robinson Day. Nursing a one-run lead, the Dodgers made two errors in the sixth and the Rockies scored three times to take the lead.

Brooklyn Center attracts some with ‘game plan,’ definitely not locals: official
By far, most of those who turn out are peaceful and want to share their pain over the deadly shooting, he said. But then he said there are also those prepared with a game plan and bring equipment that enables them-- for example-- to try and build barracks. Edwards made his comments during a Zoom meeting after a closed session with other officials from the city and Fox News obtained a transcript. Members of the violent far-left activist group Antifa identified themselves to a Fox News reporter who was at a rally in Brooklyn Center earlier this week. The report said that police set up a new line of fencing to better separate officers from protesters.

Police reform: Joe Biden stands down at a critical juncture as activists demand change nearly a year after George Floyd shooting
But nearly a year's worth of talks on Capitol Hill have yielded little in the way of results. The deep fissures in the Democratic party over what to do on the issue of policing have put Democrats in a difficult spot. Later this week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to say whether Biden believed Potter should face charges in Wright's death. She suggested the White House is continuing to pin its hopes on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act: "I know that does not solve all the issues. Justice in policing might be "a cause" that is more convenient for Biden to tackle later in his presidency.

Greensill Capital: A political scandal is swirling in Britain. But Boris Johnson is unlikely to drain the swamp
And it's pretty rare for the company's chief executive and founder to be a former unpaid adviser to that former prime minister. David Cameron, then prime minister, stands with then London mayor Boris Johnson before the 2012 London Paralympics. That might explain why current Prime Minister Boris Johnson has failed to publicly support Cameron, and has ordered an independent inquiry into his behavior. Bruce points out that the two specific mechanisms that are relevant to the Cameron scandal are particularly weak. In the case of Cameron and Greensill, Cameron was a contracted employee for the firm, so sidesteps the register policy -- which was introduced by Cameron's government in the first place.

Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers? Packers great Donald Driver weighs in
Packers great Donald Driver was lucky enough to play with both. "If I had to choose… I’m going to be honest with myself," Driver explained. I’m going to have to go with Bart Starr. I’m going to have to choose the man that played in different climates and different conditions when they didn’t have heaters on the sidelines. As Rodgers’ long-time teammate, Driver is speculating the quarterback’s future just like everybody else, but he says, "the only people that really know are the organization and Aaron Rodgers."

As protests against police violence surge, Florida passes a bill to combat ‘public disorder.’
Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said he planned to sign the measure into law. It passed the Republican-led House in March. The wide-ranging bill, HB 1, titled “Combating Public Disorder,” allows prosecutors and local officials to appeal to the state if a municipality tries to cut its police budget amid calls to cut or defund the police. It makes battery on a law enforcement officer “in furtherance of a riot or an aggravated riot” punishable by at least six months in prison. “Willfully and maliciously” pulling down a memorial or historic property would be a second-degree felony, a penalty that critics said would protect Confederate monuments.
