If you’re looking to see a predatory cat out in the wild, then you’ve got one place to go.  The lowland rainforest of Jeypore-Dehing, in the Assam province of India, has the most wild cats ever spotted in one location.  There are an incredible seven different cat species to be found in the area’s 354 square mile range, and more might be on the way, according to study head and wildlife biologist Kashmira Kakati.  It’s like the Caboodle Ranch, but for giant cats rather than simple housecats.

Using a set of 30 digital camera traps, Kakati captured the seven cats and a number of other rare jungle animals during the study’s two-year run.  The most interesting finds, though, were the big cats.  The rare clouded leopard made an appearance, as well as an incredibly rare Chinese wildcat.  She believes that other cat species are migrating to Jeypore-Dehing to escape hunters and poachers in surrounding areas.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
