Giant great white shark off the coast of New Jersey!

0:03 Calaruga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A grapevine and Tibet officially recognized as the oldest in the world. The grapevine is four hundred and sixteen years old. You'll find the world's oldest vine at seventy nine hundred feet. It's twenty six feet tall and has a diameter of more than two feet. If you make your way up to the mountains of Tibet, take a selfie. In two thousand and two, a seventy seven year old man in Chile walked into the Greek embassy and had a request. And Rico wanted to return a some all piece of marble that his father had removed from the acropolis like one hundred years earlier. Yeah, back in the nineteen thirties, and Rico's father served as a young Italian sub mariner. During a visit to Athens, he tore the Parthenon and found a small marble fragment decorated with a lotus flower. He took it home. After World War Two he moved to Chile. He showed it to his guests. And Rico continued the tradition said when someone came to my house the first time I showed them to Stone and saying this is from the Parthenon.

1:09 Some believe me, others didn't. Then in twenty twenty two, he's watching some news coverage about the Parthenon people wanting to get their stuff back, and it's like, eh, okay. The Parthenon folks thanked him for demonstrating honor and courage and hopes other will follow suit. Let's stay an ancient time. Scientists in Europe have created the most detailed digital map of the Roman Empire's road network. They've produced an atlas that functions much like a historical version of Google Maps. The new data set expands the estimated size of the Roman road system by more than sixty thousand miles. Earlier maps were incompleted or were low resolution. Previous estimates said the roads were like one hundred and seventeen thousand miles. The new system says it's more like one hundred and eighty thousand. The team does say only two point seven percent of the road locations are known with certainty, the rest are considered less precise, and seven point four percent are hypothet They did some calculations. If you wanted to go from say, Salamanca and Spain to Common in northern Italy.

2:07 That would have taken you around four hundred and forty seven hours on foot. Roman travelers could expect to walk around two point four miles an hour thanks to the quality of the roads. Engineers built the roads to require minimal maintenance by digging a deep trench, filling it with layers of rubble, soil and sand, adding gravel and concrete lime mixtures. Stones were set on the top to minimize water infiltration, and roads were constructed with a slight arch to allow for drainage. Good news if you like sharks, and really bad news if you don't. The largest male great white shark ever recorded was pinged off the coast of New Jersey. Don't tell me that I like the beach. The shark is sixteen hundred and fifty three pounds thirteen feet long. Scientists think the shark's about thirty two years old.

2:51 All right, just left me alone so far. I'll calm down, contender. The shark has been pinged migrating from Florida up the East coast into Canada. Now he's on his way back down the coast. Spotted near New Jersey, there's pictures of contender no thank you Jess when he thought it was safe to go in the water, and there are scary sharks Off the coast of New Jersey. Scientists have discovered thirty previously unknown deep sea species from one of the most remote regions on the Earth, including a predatory sponge described as a death ball. Yikes. The death ball is spherical and covered in tiny hooks used to trap prey. Most sponges are pretty chill, not these guys. They found the death ball at a depth of thirty six hundred and one meters off the coast of montagu Island. The scientists also documented zombie worms. Apparently, zombie worms feed using symbiotic bacteria that break down fats inside whalebones. Doctor Michelle Taylor is the head of Science at the Nipon Foundation and says the Southern Ocean remains profoundly undersampled. To date, we've only assessed under thirty percent of the samples collected from the expeditions, so confirming thirty new species already show how much biodiversity is still undocumented in Those are your five good news stories for today. Stay out of water, bye,
