LeBron and Savannah James made a thoughtful decision to shield their daughter Zhuri from the spotlight for several years, aiming to protect her early years from relentless media attention. Her first public appearance was a natural moment during LeBron's championship celebration in 2016, allowing her to cultivate her own passions independent of basketball. The family emphasized the importance of privacy and personal growth for each of their children.

While investigating a creek for frogs, a scientist stumbled upon a remarkable ancient mastodon tooth, estimated to be over ten thousand years old. Paleontologists have confirmed its belonging to a long-extinct species of Pacific mastodon. The fossil will soon be analyzed at Stanford University to determine its precise age, establishing a fascinating connection between today's conservation initiatives and the ancient ecosystems of California.

Hawaii introduced red mangroves in 1902; 124 years later, they clog waterways

“You try to keep things as sacred as you can”: How LeBron James and Savannah James quietly protected daughter Zhuri James’ childhood from the spotlight before introducing her to the world

A scientist searching a San Mateo County creek for signs of habitat conditions for threatened California red-legged frogs spotted an oddly shaped object that initially appeared to be an ordinary rock. Instead, it turned out to be a remarkably well-preserved tooth belonging to an extinct Pacific mastodon. Although mastodons are often associated with the better-known American mastodon, scientists recognise the Pacific mastodon as a distinct species. The species was formally recognised in 2019 following research on mastodon remains from Southern California. They ranged across parts of western North America, with Pacific mastodon remains identified in California, Idaho, Oregon and, more recently, parts of Mexico.

Red mangroves have spread across wetlands and estuaries, forming dense thickets that block waterways, alter water flow and crowd out native plants. Their shade protects the soil beneath them, but also reduces sunlight available to native wetland plants. Management efforts may include cutting, uprooting, treating regrowth and restoring native wetland plants. The red mangroves introduced in 1902 were planted as a tool to protect shorelines. Today, Hawaii faces the task of protecting its native wetlands from that same introduction.
