Vape Squirrel
Johnny Mac presents five good news stories: England completed the King Charles III England Coast Path, a 2,689-mile trail tracing the full perimeter of England’s coastline after 18 years of work, with new bridges, boardwalks, and mostly continuous routing; an opossum stowed away on a cargo ship to Alaska, was found in Juneau, and—since it’s invasive there—was taken to the Alaska Zoo and named Meatball; Chile established a massive maritime protected area of about 386,000 square miles, the third largest protected marine seascape, safeguarding diverse marine life and an underwater mountain chain; in Chicago, two separate delivery robots from Serve Robotics and Coco Robotics crashed into bus shelters and shattered glass, with both companies responding and offering repairs; and in the UK, discarded vapes pose risks to wildlife after footage showed a squirrel chewing on a vape, likely attracted by fruity flavors and exposed to nicotine and microplastics.

0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five few new stories. This is pretty cool. England now has a hiking trail that traces its entire coastline. It is the King Trails, the third England Coast Path. It stretches twenty six hundred and eighty nine miles around the coast of England, making the first trail in the world to follow the full perimeter of a nation's coastline. They've been working on this for eighteen years and includes around one thousand miles of newly built, connected or upgraded paths, along with the new boardwalks and bridges. The trail was inaugurated by the King himself, who looked delighted one walking part of the newly completed route near the famous Seven Sisters Chalk Cliffs. He was joined by Tony from Natural England.
0:47 They're the organization that oversaw the project. Tony said the path is a testament to how public enjoyment, conservation, heritage, history and community can come together, helping make life better for millions of people. Before the route existed, it was it's technically possible to walk the coastline bits and pieces, but sometimes you had to walk on rods through weird gaps. Now most of the route is continuous, with only two real interruptions. One you have to take a ferry, all right, Well that's a little cheating there, and another where a river gets in your way. Close enough now, sometimes you just want to get away. Well, an apossum did just that. An apossum was stowed away on a northbound cargo ship and ended up in Alaska, which is pretty far from where a possums normally hang out. It was spotted in Juno.
1:34 One responder was like, I don't think that's an apossum because we're in Alaska. But it was an apossum, and the apostlem was chill. It didn't hiss, didn't bite, no drama. The apostle was calmly guided into a trap like an apossum that realized, yeah, I may have overshot this trip a little. Here's the issue though, In Alaska, apossums are considered an invasive species, so they couldn't just release him. He now lives at the Alaska Zoo, where he's been given a name Meatball. The zoo didn't have it a possum since the previous bossom Grubby passed away last year, so it kind of worked out. In Chile, they have a massive new maritime protected area. The area now covers about three hundred and eighty six thousand square miles. That's bigger than Texas. It is the third largest protected marine seascape of the world. The area includes whales, dolphins, turtles, octopus, shiny lobsters, seabirds, a seal, not just one seal, you know what type of seal, and a vast underwater mountain chain.
2:31 The mayor of Robinson Crusoe Island said, this commitment reflects the heart of our community. Expanding marine protections is not only about conserving biodiversity, It's about safeguarding our culture, our traditions, and the future of our children. Well, some delivery robots in Chicago are having a bad time. Two delivery robots crashed into bus shelters on separate days. The first happened when a robot operated by Serve Robotics crashed into a Sea VTA shelter had grand and racine and shattered the glass. The whole thing was caught on camera, and then the robot just stopped and sat there like it had explained what happened. A spokesperson for Serve Robotics said, we're aware of the incident and one of our robots in Chicago.
3:14 No injuries reported. Our team responded quickly to clean up and we're reviewing what happened to make improvements. We've been in contact and we take this matter very seriously. Then two days later, a different robot operated by Cocoa Robotics smashed the glass at a bus shelter on North Avenue near Halstead. Carl is the VP at Coco and said, we're aware of an incident today in Chicago involving our robot. This is something we take seriously and as well outside the norm of our operations. He added the company would cover the repair costs. In the UK, they are warning about the danger of discarded vapes after a squirrel was caught vaping on camera. Well maybe not vaping, but it was chewing on a vape. Footage shows a gray squirrel nibbling at the mouthpiece of a discord to nicotine vape while perched on a wooden fence. Craig is a red squirrel expert at Bangor University. He said the fruity smell and flavoring and vape liquid might be what attracts the animals in the first place. He said it would be reasonable to assume that a vape would be more attractive than a normal tobacco product that's not fruity. You don't want animals ingesting nicotine. He also said eating a vape is not part of their natural diet. The components aren't something they encounter in nature. They can naut it and consume some of the microplastics, so cut it out, everybody in Those are your five good news stories for today.
4:31 Have a great day.
