Jaguar Smashes Record for the Species’ Longest Recorded Swim, Baffling Scientists

Despite what they say about cats and water, jaguars are powerful swimmers. These predators rarely stray from the rivers and wetlands that permeate their rainforest habitat, and they readily dive in to hunt for prey. Usually, these dips are relatively brief: Until now, the farthest jaguar swim on record was just 656 feet (200 meters). But now, scientists have observed a jaguar in Brazil smashing that record as if they were a feline Michael Phelps, with the big cat seemingly paddling for more tha

Target-rich environment: Why Microsoft 365 has become the biggest risk

Microsoft 365 has become the central nervous system of modern business — and cybercriminals know it.

In it, a broke artist named Dawn (Cosgrove) applies to a dating show, thinking it takes place in Paris, France, but to he

I Went Inside Apple's Labs to See How Apple Watch Connectivity Is Tested
