The adorable marsupial has captured hearts after eating a strawberry in the clip that was posted on Thursday by Katelyn who runs the account george.the.possum. It now has more than 1.2 million views and over 320,000 likes. The opossum is often confused with the possum—the two animals have similar names that are often used interchangeably though they are different animals. The possum is native to Australia, New Zealand and China and has a much thicker tail, while the opossum is native to North America and has a signature bare tail....

In the popular r/aww subreddit devoted to cute pictures and videos, u/MrFuzzybagels posted the eight-second clip and got over 26,600 upvotes for his trouble. Titled “Excuse me miss, I think you dropped something,” the video shows the mother opossum running with nine babies on her back. She accidentally clips against the corner of a building, and knocks three off. The babies were all fine, albeit perhaps a little confused as to where their mother had gone....

But cheaper phones can still do most of the things phones five times the price can, and the £219 Oppo A72 is no different. It runs Android’s Google Play Store, meaning there’s no app you can’t get. The A72 faces some strong competition for your money from other phones in the same price bracket, and while it does everything you’d want it to, it has some unfortunate performance issues that stop us from wholeheartedly recommending it....

The top model – the Find X5 Pro – uses Qualcomm’s latest chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It joins the likes of the Samsung S22 series (in the US, at least) and the newly announced Vivo iQoo 9 Pro gaming phone in being one of the first handsets to feature the processor. Meanwhile, the cheaper (but still very much high-end) Find X5 will run on the Snapdragon 888, a chip seen across many devices in 2021....

Leaks have begun already, as have the first few official announcements, and we think we know a little about the chipsets, cameras, and displays of the two flagship phones expected next year. Here’s all we know so far about the Oppo Find X6 series. When will the Oppo Find X6 be released? There’s no confirmed date of when we’ll see the Find X6 yet. Leaker Digital Chat Station has posted on Weibo that the launch will come after Spring Festival – a....

The now-viral picture was shared to Reddit on Monday by Nathan Sievers from Baltimore, who uses the handle nathanddfd1234. The post now has over 51,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments. Posted with the caption: “My dog laying down with his head on the curb… Looks like he’s been decapitated,” the picture shows the dog—a 2-year-old Husky and golden retriever mix called Bleuregard Q. Kazoo—laying with his head resting on the curb at an angle that looks like a floating head....

Meyer has coached in four previous BCS games. He's never lost. Swinney has taken his team to the BCS one other time, and lost by 37 points.

The seventh-ranked Buckeyes (12-1) and the 12th-ranked Tigers (10-2) will be squaring off in the Orange Bowl, where Meyer will aim to keep his BCS record perfect and Swinney will try to have his team, as he put it, "continue to climb the mountain....

David Hurwitz of whale watching group Simon’s Boat Company in South Africa, said two orca spotted on January 16 are known to hunt great white sharks. The pair, named Port and Starboard after the direction of their collapsed dorsal fins, were seen in the False Bay area off the Western Cape of South Africa. The history of the pair’s presence off the Western Cape extends back to 2009. Yet their story as shark hunters commenced several years later, amid strange discoveries made in 2014....

Have you seen Oregon’s knockoff turnover chain? MORE: College football Week 12 highlights The latest sideline accessory is an obvious riff on Miami’s now-famous chain, which is brought out every time the Hurricanes get a takeaway on defense. Oregon’s was brought out on two occasions on Saturday, thanks to two Khalil Tate interceptions. While the turnovers were impressive, the chain itself … well, you be the judge. Here’s a closeup of the chain …...

“I always just thought of it as a volunteer job that retired people do,” Jasmine Clay, 29, told Newsweek of her decision to become a poll worker in Northern Virginia this fall. “It never clicked that someone my age could do that.” Poll workers–who verify voter identities, help voters sign in, provide ballots and assist with any other voter needs—are almost always paid temporary workers, not full-time employees of local elections offices....

Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract Oral cavity. This is your mouth, and while it’s not technically an organ, it’s important because digestion begins in your mouth when you bite and chew your food, thus mixing it with saliva. The saliva (or spit) moistens food so that it’s easier to swallow. It also contains a little bit of salivary amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. Pharynx. The pharynx is the portion of your throat where the back part of your mouth meets the esophagus and the trachea (your windpipe)....

The no. 1 seed in the women’s qualifying draw, Vera Zvonareva, was stunned by Astra Sharma, an Australian of Indian descent. Sharma has made great strides in her career so far and was one of the top players in the US collegiate circuit as well. Most of the top men’s seeds have gone through to the second round. There have been a couple of upsets, however, as veterans Marcos Baghdatis and Simone Bolleli were both knocked out in the first round itself....

The 16-time major champion brushed aside Roger Federer in straight sets on Thursday, a day before Thiem edged out Alexander Zverev in four. At 32, Djokovic is six years older than Thiem, a player he holds a 6-4 win-loss record over but has lost to in four of their past five meetings. But an extra day off has seemingly had little impact on the result of Sunday’s final, especially in the past decade, when the player with more rest has won five and lost as many deciders....

Wozniacki will retire after the Australian Open, which begins on Monday, ending a career that saw her win the title in Melbourne in 2018 and hold the top ranking. The Dane, 29, said she was staying calm so far, but expects there to be emotion once her career is officially over. “It’s not a situation that I’ve ever been in. It’s hard to tell,” Wozniacki told a news conference on Saturday when asked if she would stay calm....

The last two Grand Slams in Australia have been hindered by the global pandemic, with superstar Novak Djokovic kicked out of the country last year for not being vaccinated.

With 14 women killed so far in 2020, Austria is one of the few European Union countries where more women than men were killed. At least two of the victims were murdered by ex-partners, one of whom was set on fire while working in a Vienna tobacco shop. Another was killed by a gunshot in her home in the Austrian capital. Experts believe the rise in murders of women in Austria can be attributed to female subservience views in Austria’s conservative Catholic and Muslim communities, as well as sexist language from the opposition far-right Freedom Party....

“It sounds like they didn’t like each other,” Dean told AP without elaborating. Dean said investigators will see if the department’s files have any official complaints made about either of the firefighters. The gunman also injured a fire captain at the station before he returned to his home. When he got there, he barricaded himself inside and set the house on fire, resulting in his own death.

Early symptoms, such as fatigue and joint pain, mimic those of other medical conditions, making diagnosis challenging. These conditions can be temporary or, more commonly, lifelong. They’re sometimes referred to as “invisible disabilities,” since people may not appear outwardly ill despite dealing with significant issues. Autoimmune diseases affect more than 23.5 million Americans, and more and more diseases are now being attributed to autoimmunity. Background The immune system protects us from viruses, bacteria, foreign substances, and even cancer cells, but does so with a delicate balance....
