Named "Dima" after a nearby stream, he died at age 6-8 months around 40,000 years ago. Traces of his mother's milk remained in his stomach.

Greenpeace tries to stop radioactive waste from being dumped in the ocean, 1982

Silence around what hides the bottom of the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Tons of radioactive waste solidified with concrete or bitumen were dumped 400 kilometers from the Galician coast and 200 km from the Asturias coast. This nuclear waste that was thrown into the sea periodically, between 1949 and 1982, by Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Sweden. And, in many cases, it is forgotten more than 4,000 meters deep while it is subjected to the pressure and corrosion of the sea.

The Day Hungry Rabbits Attacked Napoleon​

"Alexandre Berther, Napoleon’s chief of staff organised the hunt. He bought more than 3000 rabbits from local farmers as he wanted to impress his boss.

Napoleon and his guests turned up one summer morning in a field, ready to hunt as many rabbits as possible.

As soon as the cages were opened, thousands of bunnies ran towards the party thinking it was feeding time.

Berther was clueless when it came to rabbits and bought domesticated ones who are not scared of humans.

The rabbits swarmed all the hunters, furiously looking for food. Historian David Chandler stated:

“ With a finer understanding of Napoleonic strategy than most of his generals, the rabbits horde divided into two wings and poured around the flanks of the party”.

The men were brought to their knees screaming and Napoleon ran towards his imperial coach to seek refuge.

Shocked and scared, he only calmed down once he was far away from the hungry rabbits. Napoleon forgot the first lesson of war, never underestimate your enemies!"
