Adam Britton, a former zoologist known for his work with Sir David Attenborough, was sentenced to over ten years in prison for horrifically torturing and killing dozens of dogs, revealing a dark, sadistic side hidden behind his public persona. Between 2020 and 2022, Britton tortured 42 dogs and killed 39 of them, maintaining a false narrative of their well-being to their former owners through deceptive photos. His heinous acts came to light when someone reported his torture videos online, leading to his arrest in April 2022. In a separate incident in Queensland, a man was tragically killed by a crocodile while hiking with his family, marking the third fatal crocodile attack in Australia this year, attributed in part to illegal animal feeding practices. Meanwhile, a new species of ancient marine crocodile, Enalioetes schroederi, was discovered in Germany, shedding light on the evolutionary adaptations of crocodiles during the Cretaceous Period. Additionally, a tour guide in Cancun faced criticism for recklessly interacting with a crocodile during a tour, highlighting the dangers of improper handling of wildlife.
