Archaeologists associated with Mexico’s National Institute of Archaeology and History (INAH) made a strange discovery earlier this month at the Templo Mayor, the temple complex at the center of Mexico City, formerly ancient capital of Tenochtitlan. The INAH archaeologists uncovered a ritual offering of starfish, about 160 in total, enveloping the skeleton of a jaguar, according to a recent video released by the institute.

The big cat responded as most big cats would when confronted with an uninvited stranger in its territory and clawed his arm, leaving behind a trail of blood and a wounded man,...

Having been crashed by the owner in 1996 and stored in a garage ever since, it is set to be sold at auction for an estimated guide price...

In total, one emu, three foxes and five alpacas were killed. If Valerio was hungry, why didn't he just kill one or two animals to feed on? Was he being territorial? That sort of logic may...
