Storyful

6 April 2024 at 5:47 am

Heavy rain and high seas caused the formation of massive amounts of sea foam at Cronulla in southeast Sydney, New South Wales, on Saturday morning, April 6.

Footage recorded by Michelle Michael shows what she called “intense sea foam” near the Cronulla RSL Club.

The flooding came after Sydney and Australia’s east coast were hit by “a month’s worth of rain" on Friday.

Roads were closed and public transport was affected across the region on Saturday, local media reported. Credit: Michelle Michael via Storyful

Japan to start hunting fin whales
STORY: Japan is to start hunting fin whales, in a move certain to face strong opposition from environmentalists. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi on Thursday said the species would be added to its commercial whaling list after the country's Fisheries Agency this week sought public comment on a draft revision of its policies."Whales are an important food resource, and like other marine living resources, they should be used sustainably based on scientific evidence. I believe it is important to inherit traditional food culture in Japan."Over the last five years, Japan has been trying to expand its whaling business.It resumed commercial hunting in its territorial waters and exclusive economic zones in 2019, after withdrawing from the International Whaling Commission.Whale consumption in Japan hit its peak in the early 1960s but did not become widespread as other meats became more accessible. Commercial whaling in Japan is currently limited to three minor species: minke whales, Bryde’s whales and sei whales.

Swimmer Films Close Encounter With Bobcat in Florida
A bobcat moseyed by a man lounging near a pool at a condo complex in Naples, Florida, on Tuesday, May 7.Florida resident Kevin Mario, who captured this footage, told Storyful he was excited, but stayed calm during the encounter.“I know they can get aggressive if threatened,” Mario said. “She looked very hungry and tired. We had eye contact at all times.”According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), seeing a bobcat during the day is not uncommon because they only sleep for two to three hours at a time.While bobcats can help control rodent populations, the FWC urges residents to prevent the animal from becoming comfortable around humans by securing possible food sources, not directly feeding the big cats, properly penning small livestock, and keeping an eye on small domestic pets.
