Injured axolotl rescued from river in Wales sparks curiosity about exotic pet ownership

A 10-year-old girl discovered an injured axolotl, a critically endangered aquatic salamander native to Mexico, while holidaying in south Wales. Evie Hill found the 9-inch creature under Dipping Bridge on the River Ogmore near Bridgend. The axolotl, named Dippy, has injuries to its tail and stomach believed to have been caused by a predator. The discovery has raised questions about whether the animal was abandoned by a pet owner, as it's illegal to release axolotls into the wild in the UK. The species has gained popularity through social media and video games.

Pope Leo Visits Angolan Shrine at Site of Former Slave Trade Hub

Pope Leo visited the Sanctuary of Mama Muxima in Angola, a site that served as a major hub in the slave trade during Portuguese colonial rule. The American pope recalled the "sorrow and great suffering" Angolans endured for centuries, addressing an estimated 30,000 gathered faithful. The church, built at the end of the 16th century as part of a fortress complex, was where enslaved Africans were baptized before being forced to walk over 110km to the port of Luanda for shipment to the Americas. He did not refer specifically to slavery in his remarks.
