Bo knows Sho. Shohei Ohtani comparisons to Babe Ruth are inadequate. What he is able to do, pitching and hitting, is more akin to the great two-sport athlete, Bo Jackson, reports ⁦@TylerKepner⁩ nytimes.com/2023/04/20/sport…

Ohtani, baseball’s only two-way player, is largely without precedent. The best comparison may be Bo Jackson, a “mythological” two-sport superstar.

🌊🔉 Sound on for fully immersive Zen break. Watch and listen as a big ocean swell crashes onto the rocks at Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge!

Watch big ocean swell on Kaua'i!

The refuge on the rugged north shore of Kaua'i is the perfect spot for wave watching, not to mention the colony of ‘ā, or red-footed booby, that can be seen just out of reach from the splashes.

Eighty-one years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the incarceration of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans. Families were forced to abandon their homes, communities and businesses to live for years in camps throughout the United States.

Want to live longer? Consider planting a tree.

Want to live longer? Consider planting a tree.

The more trees planted in a neighborhood, the fewer people die, according to a recent study led by U.S. Forest Service researchers out of Portland, Ore.

Reminder: The Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean is deeper than Mount Everest is tall. The deepest section of the Mariana Trench, named Challenger Deep, is at a depth of 36,000 feet. For perspective, Mount Everest is 29,000 feet tall. Video: @oceanexplorer

Explore the Mariana Trench!

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll! The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.

This is what 75,000 newly hatched sac fry look like. This bubbling bevy of baby salmon represents the next generation of tule fall Chinook that will eventually get released into the Columbia River.

Salmon fry party!

About 50 days after fertilization, the sac fry hatch from the salmon eggs, discarding their white shells. The attached yolk sac provides food for the young fish as they grow and gradually disappears.

Before the fur trade, sea otters spanned the entire North Pacific Rim, from Baja, Mexico, up the Pacific Coast and all the way to the northern islands of Japan. 🧵
