REVENGE is sweet for a special bunch of seals who risk snacking on sharks for a bloody treat. Scientists found that the dinner tables have turned below the surface of the ocean, with seals now feeding on sharks.
Anita Spencer/Kirsty Moffatt/Annabelle Tye/Kris Woods/Karen PrattScientists have spotted some nasty signs on seals which indicate quite a fight '/ ' The researches found nasty physical injuries on a select few leopard seals in New Zealand, as well as traces of shark in their poo. The discovery, which is a world first, suggests the sea creature goes in for the kill against sharks rather than simply chomping on any dead remains they find. ...We were blown away to find that sharks were on the menu,... said Dr Krista van der Linde, who led the research, said. ...But then we also found Elephant fish and Ghost sharks were also being hunted by the leopard seals. ...These fish have large spines to help protect them from predators and sure enough there were wounds on the leopard seals, sometimes even big spines embedded in their faces. One leopard seal had at least 14 such wounds." Leopard seals are already known for being apex predators with a taste for penguins and even other seals. It's unclear why they go for a risky meal like sharks as well. Researchers are also trying to figure out whether this is a new thing or whether they've always had an appetite for sharks.

Their findings were published in the Frontiers in Marine Science journal.

The Russian hypersonic glide vehicle which allows the missile to evade defence systems 
The deadly weapon can fly around the world at speeds of nearly 16,000mph And the head of Moscow's strategic missile forces Col-Gen Sergey Karakayev vowed to replace the Mach-27 capable Avangard hypersonic gliding unit by the time the West finds an "antidote" to it. This comes as images purport to show heavy weaponry suspected to be en route to a military field camp near the village of Klintsy in Bryansk region, some 28 miles from the Ukrainian border. Vladimir Putin has amassed more than 100,000 troops near the border in a terrifying escalation of hostilities in recent months. Meanwhile, Russia today marks its annual Day of Strategic Rocket Forces. Speaking of the Satan-2 weapon, also known as Sarmat, Col-Gen Karakayev said: ...Starting from 2022, it is planned to begin gradual removal of the heavy-class silo-based Voyevoda missile system and replace it with Sarmat.... The 15,880mph weapon can deliver between 10 and 15 warheads that weigh up to 10-tonnes to any point in the world flying over both the North and South Poles, say the Kremlin.

Karakayev also vowed to keep developing hypersonic weapons \- which move too fast for current missile defence systems \- to stay ahead of the West. He said: ...We must understand this and do it and go further with hypersonic weapons. "By the time they find an antidote, we must have found another solution to this. "And today we are working on it. There are developments, there is work in progress. "I think that this task is within our reach." UNSTOPPABLE KILLER Moscow also made clear that in the coming year it would launch more than ten intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) \- rockets which can fly across the globe. This compares with a total of 25 such launches in the past five years, indicating a significant increase. Western leaders have warned Russia against the "strategic mistake" of invading Ukraine, threatening unprecedented sanctions against Moscow. New military movements highlighted by Zaspisky Okhotnika Telegram channel were interpreted as boosting forces with heavy weapons at military field camps near the village off Klintsy. TENSIONS AT BOILING POINT Tanks are seen being moved by train. Russia has strongly insisted that it is entitled to move military forces on its own territory, and denied it intends to invade Ukraine. The West has expressed deep concern over the number of Russian forces in Voronezh region.

As the search for Gabby's body continued, Laundrie went missing after telling his parents said he was going camping at the Carlton Reserve. On October 21, the FBI announced remains found at the T.
