Florida is trying to give away its lighthouses for free

KEY LARGO, Fla. –– It may be the end of an era for lighthouses around the United States.

The Belgian Malinois: The dog the White House didnt use on fence-jumping intruder

It is driven to hunt and capture prey. It looks like a leaner, more agile German Shepherd. It has a 270-degree field of vision and the force of its bite equals 1,400 pounds per square inch.
