Rare Mediterranean Seal Shot and Killed in Central Greece

A wildlife organization revealed on Friday that a rare Mediterranean Monk seal has been shot and killed in the area of Milina in the Pagasitikos Gulf in central Greece.

The Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk seal (MOm)... says that a young and apparently healthy Mediterranean monk seal had recently been found shot and killed.

The largest population of the critically-endangered Mediterranean Monk Seal lives in the waters off Greece and is estimated to number only about 300 individuals.

Scientists praise stronger beers as ‘very, very healthy’ thanks to gut-friendly bacteria
‘In high concentrations alcohol is bad for the gut but if you drink just one of these beers every day it would be very good for you,’ says researchers

Certain beers could be considered “very healthy” thanks to the amount of gut-friendly bacteria they contain, according to scientists specialising in gut health.

Professor Eric Claassen, who works at Amsterdam University, explained that strong Belgian beers, including Hoegaarden, Westmalle Tripel and Echt Kriekenbier, are rich in probiotic microbes that offer a range of health benefits.
