And with 302 horsepower available from the 3.5-litre V6, my right foot did not need to floor it to reach hair-whipping speeds. The SLK goes from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in a mere 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 210 km

  • Inside the roadster, the opulent leather seats are fit for a queen. The adjustable driver's seat provided a soft and comfortable but snug perch behind the adjustable steering wheel. Snug in a good way - the seats envelop you until they feel like part of your body. No matter how fast I drove or how curvy the road was, neither I nor the car experienced the slightest hint of body roll, thanks in large part to the standard Dynamic Handling Package.

  • Climate change driving species out of habitats much faster than expected
  • Once heard only rarely outside the north Kent marshes, the loud voice of the Cetti's warbler is now delighting a whole new set of listeners, from the isle of Anglesey to the banks of the Humber. The bird has moved 150 kilometres further north within the UK in the last 40 years, in response to the changing climate.
  • Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at York University and leader of the project, said: "These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away from the equator at around 20 centimetres per hour, for every hour of the day, for every day of the year.

And while Cetti's warbler – a small brown bird that belies its loud song – moved northwards, the Cirl bunting moved south within the UK by 120km, a victim of intensified agriculture.
  • The research team analysed data from a variety of studies, most of them from Europe and North America, finding more than 2,000 examples of how animal and plant species have adapted by moving their habitat.

  • Shark Attacks Shock Russian East

  • coastal Primorsky Krai, along the Sea of Japan.
  • Large sharks have been sighted in the region only rarely, scientists said, and attacks until now were unheard of.
  • The first victim, a 25-year-old computer programmer, had been out for an evening swim with his wife on Wednesday at a popular vacation spot near Russia’s border with North Korea.
  • “It was only about 300 feet,” Ms. Udovenko said, according to the Interfax news agency. “About halfway there, Denis noticed something in the water and screamed, ‘Swim faster, it’s a shark.’ ”
  • Late on Thursday, the Russian news media reported a third attack, citing local residents, though officials did not immediately confirm it.
  • Witnesses gave varying descriptions of the shark, putting its size at 6 to 12 feet long. After reviewing the accounts, several scientists said they believed it was probably a great white.
  • That body of water is home to seals and other shark prey, but not in sufficient densities to sustain large sharks. A hungry great white, lacking its typical prey, Dr. Astakhov said, “could certainly have attacked a human.
  • Another draw for a great white might be water temperature. The waters in the region have been several degrees higher than normal, making a more attractive environment for great whites, according to Mr. Zgurovsky.
  • Russians’ blasé attitude toward danger is a source of national pride, and despite the ban on swimming, local news media reported Thursday that beachgoers continued to take to the water.
