10 Stunning Species the World Has Already Lost

February 23, 2026 by Julie Majid

They disappeared closer to our time than we realize.

Extinction often feels distant, like a chapter from prehistory sealed in stone. But not all disappearances belong to ancient eras. Some unfolded within reach of cameras, field journals, even living memory.

And whatever happened next turned the ground itself on its side.

Some breeds thrive in a home office routine.

Working from home changes the way we see dogs. They’re no longer just pets waiting for us to get off work, they’re active players in our daily routine, keeping pace with our schedules and moods. Some breeds fit seamlessly into this world, balancing calm presence with just enough energy to break up the monotony.

Beneath a Busy English Market, a Dark Roman Secret Emerges

February 20, 2026 by Julie Majid

Leicester yields secrets beneath its market square.

During redevelopment excavations beneath Leicester’s historic market place, archaeologists uncovered a Roman infant burial and the remains of a medieval dungeon once described as “a most vile prison.” The finds lie under layers of commerce, earth, and stone, and represent nearly two millennia of human activity in that spot. The site also revealed foundations of a high-status civic building known as the Gainsborough Chamber, plus Roman structures, jewelry, pottery, and even Roman kilns. These discoveries are rewriting parts of Leicester’s urban and judicial history.
