(KOMO NEWS) – The Seattle Aquarium is grieving the loss of
Barney, a cherished 39-year-old harbor seal who passed away 
today.

Barney, who was the equivalent of a 100-year-old human, was
one of the oldest known harbor seals in human care.

Dr. Caitlin Hadfield, Director of Animal Health, and the veterinary
and animal care teams had been closely monitoring Barney’s
health for years, ensuring his comfort and happiness.

Despite developing age-related health issues, Barney had been
doing well until a recent acute decline prompted the difficult
decision to humanely euthanize him.

The most famous dog to emerge from the war was Rin Tin Tin,
an abandoned puppy of German war dogs found in France in
1918 and taken to the United States, where he made his film
debut in the 1922 silent film The Man from Hell’s River.        
As the first bona fide animal movie star, Rin Tin Tin made the
little-known German Shepherd breed famous across the
country.

(FOX NEWS) – A massive dinosaur footprint of the Iguanodon
species, which dates back over 100 million years, has been
found on a beach in England.

Paleontologist Joe Thompson (above) a fossil guide with Wight
Coast Fossils who unearthed the print, told Fox News Digital
that he made the discovery on the Isle of Wight as he set out
for the beach with the intention of finding some fossils.

An Iguanodon skeleton is displayed at the Natural History Museum in London. The footprint that Thompson found
came from this species.
