Four species of vulture return to national park in Malawi (via Mongabay, July 2022) White-backed, Hooded, White-faced, and Lappet-faced vultures have been returning to Liwonde National Park after an absence of 20+ years. Their comeback may be due to the reintroduction of cheetahs -- and the carcasses they leave behind.

After reporting on a suspected homicide in Selinsgrove, Pa., Hilde was harassed by “disgusted” adults commenting on her site, saying her time would be better spent at tea parties and playing with dolls.
Hilde has something to say, and she takes no prisoners, firing back at her aging critics, with a video and in her column for the Guardian.
