Inside the wild: 5 real-life animal rivalries driven by survival
From a distance, nature seems calm. Trees sway, birds call, and animals move quietly across the land. But spend enough time observing, and a different story shows up. It's a world of competition– sometimes subtle, sometimes loud. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Animals don't fight because they're angry. They fight because they need something. A meal, a safe path, or maybe a place to drink water. And when two species want the same thing, someone eventually gives way. Here are a few wild rivalries that show how complicated sharing space in nature can be. Lions and Hyenas They don't get along– that much is clear. In the African savannah, they often end up in the same places at the same time, hunting or scavenging. Lions are heavier and stronger. But hyenas? They don't scare easily. They show up in groups, push their luck, and sometimes, even win. The fights can be brutal, but they're never personal. Just a fight over who gets to eat. Chimpanzees and Bonobos You won't find them competing in the same forest– but they're a fascinating comparison. Chimps live in tense, male-led groups where power struggles are constant. Bonobos are the opposite– more peaceful, more social, and led by females. Same DNA, different choices. Evolution took them down two very different roads. Wolves and Coyotes In North America, these two don't always get along. When their ranges overlap, wolves tend to dominate. They're bigger, and they stick together. Coyotes are smaller but flexible– they can live solo, in pairs, or in small packs. They'll shift their range or change their habits to avoid trouble. It's not always a fight– more of a cold war. Elephants and Rhinos No one expects these two to clash– but it happens, especially when water is scarce. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Elephants usually arrive in numbers and take over. Rhinos, more solitary, can get defensive fast. These confrontations aren't daily events, but as wild spaces shrink, they're happening more often than before. Komodo Dragons and Saltwater Crocodiles Two apex predators, one remote corner of Southeast Asia. They don't cross paths often, but when they do, it's a standoff between patience and power. Komodos bite and wait– their venom does the work. Crocodiles strike once– hard and fast. It's rare, but when it happens, neither gives up easily.

The 10 Best Golf Pants of 2025, Tested and Reviewed
To find the best options for all users, we tested a variety of pants across a range of brands and styles, evaluating each pair for fit, comfort, and design features. We walked fairways, rode in carts, searched for balls in the rough, blasted out of sand traps, sipped drinks at the 19th hole, and otherwise put each pair to the test in real-world conditions. Our favorites are comfortable, breathable, and can withstand a little rain. These are the best of the bunch, from brands like Adidas, Bonobos, Callaway, and Under Armour. Golf pants aren't mandatory for recreational golfers like they are on the PGA tour, but they do more than just make you look good on the links. A high-quality pair of pants can protect you from the sun , rain, and tall grass and is essential attire for cold weather rounds. I'm an avid golfer, and I've worn pants from Adidas, Bonobos, and Peter Millar on courses across the country. Most of my rounds take place in Texas, where warm temperatures and unexpected rainstorms mean I prize technical features like breathability and moisture-wicking fabrics. Best Overall for Men Adidas Ultimate 365 Golf Pants Credit: Adidas $90 $50 at Amazon $90 at Zappos View on Dicks Sporting Goods Why We Love It These pants are incredibly comfortable and lightweight. What to Consider Though we love the lightweight fabric, it may be a bit thin for cold-weather rounds. Adidas Men's Ultimate 365 Golf Pants scored top marks across a range of categories, but we kept coming back for their overall comfort and lightweight feel—they're among the most comfortable golf pants we've ever worn. They held up well during multiple rounds played in Des Moines, Iowa, proving breathable and staying sweat-free even in temperatures reaching the mid-80s. The pants fit true to size, they are neither too loose nor too tight, and the durable stretch twill fabric never felt restrictive during movement. The large front pockets are perfect for storing golf balls, tees, and markers, and we never had any trouble accessing these accessories on the course. The back pockets work well for holding a scorecard or stashing your glove, if you prefer to putt without it. We washed and dried these pants with other dark colored items, and they came out looking as good as new. Considering the quality and comfort, we expect to get years' worth of rounds out of these Adidas golf pants. The Details: Size 28-36 x 30-34 | Polyester and elastane | Water-repellent Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best Range of Motion for Men Bonobos Golf Pants Credit: Bonobos $99 at Amazon View on Why We Love It These pants are super comfortable and don't restrict movement. What to Consider We wish the legs were slightly more tapered and less billowy. Bonobos got its start making better-fitting pants, and that trend continues with the Highland Tour Golf Pants. I tested the athletic fit, but they're also available in slim, tailored, and straight fits. I wore these pants several times during 18-hole rounds in Dallas and also around town—they look just like regular pants, so you won't look out of place wearing these into your local coffee shop. The pants are soft and comfortable, with ample stretch, which is great when walking, swinging, and crouching to read putts. When I played, the temperature was in the high-70s to mid-80s. The pants seem to breathe well, so I never felt too hot or sweaty. The pockets provide ample room for tees and balls in one pocket and my phone in the other. There's also an internal coin pocket that is perfect for ball markers. One interesting feature is the shirt-gripping gel waistband, which helped my shirt stay tucked in throughout the round. The athletic-fit pants offer more room in the seat and thighs, as expected, and then taper slightly down the leg. But I do wish they tapered more—the lower leg feels a bit baggier than necessary.

What to Consider There's no zipper pocket for securing your valuables. Peter Millar's extensive lineup of golf wear outfits players from head to toe. The brand's Performance Five-pocket Pant is a staple that's available in more than a dozen colors and a wide range of sizes. The two-way stretch fabric is flexible when moving on the course, and we felt no restrictions while walking, swinging, or bending down. It's lightweight and breathable, which helped us stay cool on the course, and the material feels soft against the skin. We liked the stylish and practical five-pocket design. The slim, athletic look presents a polished appearance on the course and in the clubhouse, and the front and back pockets are roomy enough to hold extra balls, tees, and a ball marker. The pants wick moisture and effectively manage sweat, especially in the waistband where heat tends to build up, so we finished our round without visible sweat marks. These are high-quality pants that should hold up well after multiple wears and washes.

What to Consider The straight-leg fit may be too loose for some people. Under Armour puts athlete-friendly features into these golf pants, including four-way stretch to keep you moving comfortably, and UA Storm technology to repel water without sacrificing breathability. We wore these pants during a couple of rounds in Pennsylvania, noting the fabric's lightweight feel, flexibility, and airflow. They stayed put while playing, never riding up in the waist or bunching up around the knees. And when we started to sweat, the pants dried quickly in the golf cart-created breeze. The straight-leg fit is just as described. We usually prefer more form-fitting pants when playing golf, but if you like the fit to be looser around the calf and ankle, then these are a great choice. The pants have a high-quality feel and even stitching lines, and they came out of the washer without any changes to the color or fabric. The Details: Size 28-46 x 30-36 | Polyester and elastane | Water-repellent Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Best for Rainy Weather for Men Zero Restriction Packable Pant Credit: Zero Restriction View on Why We Love It The waterproof fabric kept us dry during rainy rounds. What to Consider These pants are more expensive than many other options. Zero Restriction promises waterproof, windproof golf pants that are easy to pack, and they deliver on that promise. The pants are roomy, without being too baggy, and the lightweight shell with fully sealed seams keeps water out. There are even ankle snaps to keep the pants tight around your ankles, so water doesn't get into your shoes. We played three rainy rounds in these pants, and they kept us dry each time. The pants themselves don't retain water and were fully dry after the seven-minute drive from our local club to our house. Given the high-quality waterproof fabric, we probably wouldn't wear these pants on a hot day, but when it's rainy or windy, you won't find anything as comfortable. These pants are on the pricier side, but after wearing them for several rounds of golf, getting rained on multiple times, and experiencing the high-quality construction and unrestricted movement they provide, we expect them to last a long time and think they are worth the investment in the end.

What to Consider Some golfers may want to size down for a more secure fit in the waist. You can't test golf pants without considering a pair from the PGA Tour Superstore. So we pulled on these 27-inch women's stretch ankle pants and wore them more than a dozen times, including during several nine-hole rounds, at the driving range, at work, and while traveling on planes and in the car. The fit is comfortable and flattering, with ample room in the thighs and hips without feeling baggy; plus, it features built-in shapewear that doesn't restrict movement. They feel almost like a second skin, offering flexibility and seamless movement for all golf activities, without sacrificing style or practicality. The fabric is lightweight, yet durable, striking the perfect balance between comfort and performance. They maintain their shape well, even after multiple wears, and the breathability and moisture-wicking properties show a high level of thoughtful design. There aren't any zippers or buttons, so they're more minimal than some other pairs we tested, but we like the minimal design and how easy it is to slip these pants on and go. The only thing we'd change is to offer a bit of adjustment in the waist. We needed to pull the pants up occasionally, but sizing down should offer a more secure fit.

What to Consider We'd have preferred a slightly more tailored fit through the hips and legs. You can wear Puma's Everyday Golf Pants for a round of golf and won't rush to take them off afterward. They are very comfortable, with a high-waist design and some stretch. There's a zipper at the side waist to adjust the fit, but the waistband is not elastic. We typically prefer a more tailored look, so we wish these pants were a bit more fitted through the hips and legs, but golfers who prefer a relaxed look will love this style. The fabric is slightly thicker than some golf pants. It feels durable ,but is still breathable and moisture-wicking, and the fabric offers UPF40 sun protection. These pants performed well on the golf course, giving us full range of motion at all times, even when squatting down, and the pockets are easily accessible and roomy. The pants were easy to clean when we got a smudge on them, and they held up well in the washing machine, too. The Details: Size XXS-XXL | Polyester and elastane Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Most Comfortable for Women Callaway Pull-on Tech Golf Pants Credit: Callaway $87 at Amazon View on Dicks Sporting Goods $88 at Zappos Why We Love It These are the most comfortable women's golf pants we've ever worn. What to Consider The thick fabric is best for cooler temperatures. Callaway makes more than clubs and golf balls—the brand could be used to outfit your whole game, from your bag to your body. The TrueSculpt golf pants are some of the most comfortable we've ever worn. They fit really well and offer tons of stretch, so they feel fitted, but not tight. We wore these pants while playing multiple early-evening rounds in Seattle, but they're so comfortable and flattering that we also wore them to work all day first. The fabric is soft and thick, but it never made us feel too hot or sweaty during the 75-degree weather. We enjoyed full range of motion on the golf course and throughout the day. The pants have four good pockets—two in front and two in back. The front pockets have plenty of room for extra balls, tees, a divot repair tool, and other essentials, while the back pockets are pretty slim, but still handy for ball markers or a folded scorecard. The Details: Size XS-XXL, 29-32 inch inseam | Viscose, nylon, and elastane Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Credit: Travel + Leisure Most Breathable for Women Macade Stretch Jogger Credit: Macade View on Why We Love It The fit and high-quality design features are impressive. What to Consider Joggers fit close around your ankles and may not meet everyone's preference. We wore these joggers during casual rounds, both walking and riding in the cart, and found them to fit true to size. The stretchy fabric is fitted, but not too tight and features elastic at the waist and ankles, so we moved around freely and unrestricted. They're breathable, so we didn't get too hot or sweaty, and we liked that we could wear these pants over a full round of golf or simply all day long, even off the course. The designers paid attention to the little details, adding front pockets and zippered back pockets that are convenient for holding golf essentials and valuables. There's a subtle logo above the back pocket, and the silicon gel waistband grips tucked-in shirts. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, but thick enough to be opaque, and it showed zero signs of wear and tear after testing. The pants also cleaned very easily after getting smudged with dirt.

What to Consider They're only available in a 29-inch inseam, so taller golfers may find them to be a little short. After testing these golf pants during full rounds and also on the driving range and putting green, we found a lot to like. The pants are very comfortable, and the lightweight fabric drapes nicely to allow air flow and mobility. We could bend, squat, kneel, climb hills, and swing clubs with ease. These pants are well designed for golfers and feature a little extra stretch at the waist, belt loops, roomy front pockets, and durable double stitching and reinforcement in the areas that receive more wear and tear. The pants do an excellent job repelling water. We wore them on the course and on a rainy neighborhood walk, and the pants kept us dry without absorbing any moisture. After washing, the pants air-dried in just a few hours, and they came out wrinkle-free with no loss of color or shrinking.

TravisMathew - Wanderlust Short A lower-body take on TravisMathew's signature Wanderlust Jacket, these shorts are perfect for all summer activities and ensure that you look good wherever you're headed.

Can cockroaches crawl into your ear while you're asleep? Here's what you need to know
A common household pest, cockroaches often found in kitchens and damp areas, can crawl into people's ears while they are asleep. It may sound like something out of a nightmare, but cockroaches crawling into human ears does happen, and more often than you might think. These nocturnal pests are constantly on the hunt for warmth, moisture, and dark, narrow spaces, making the human ear an unfortunate target. This situation can be distressing, painful, and potentially harmful if not handled correctly. Understanding why this happens, what to do if it occurs, and how to prevent it is essential, especially for those living in areas prone to cockroach infestations. Here's a practical guide to help you stay calm, act quickly, and protect yourself effectively. Why cockroaches may enter your ear canal This happens because cockroaches are nocturnal pests constantly searching for food, moisture, and warmth. At night, when it's quiet and dark, they move around more freely. People who sleep on the floor or near walls, food, or drains are more likely to encounter them. The ear canal's warmth and narrowness can attract cockroaches, making it seem like just another hole to explore or hide in. What to do if a cockroach enters your ear If a cockroach crawls into your ear, don't panic or try to dig it out with objects like earbuds, as this can push it further in or damage your eardrum. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Instead, gently tilt your head to the side with the affected ear to try and dislodge the insect. It's crucial to seek medical help right away, especially if the cockroach is still moving or the pain gets worse. A doctor can safely remove the insect and provide proper care. How to prevent cockroaches from crawling into your ears To avoid cockroaches crawling into your ear, keep your sleeping area clean and tidy. It's also best to sleep on a bed rather than directly on the floor, especially in areas with pest issues. Fix any cracks in walls, leaky pipes, and ensure your kitchen and bathroom are clean and dry to discourage cockroaches from inhabiting your space.

Felicis founder Aydin Senkut is celebrating his 20th year as an institutional early-stage investor by announcing the firm's biggest fund yet: a $900 million Fund X. This follows the $825 million Fund IX raised in 2023 and the $600 million Fund XIII raised in 2021. Felicis, a seed and Series A firm, is known for backing a long string of successes, including Ayden, Bonobos, Ring, Shopify, and Twitch, among others. Since being founded in 2006, Felicis has backed over 50 unicorns and had over 125 exits, it says. Lately, Felicis, like most VCs, has been all over AI. Its portfolio now includes, for example, Browser Use, Poolside, Runway, and Supabase. 'We believe dozens of $100B+ AI companies will emerge this decade (not merely $1B or $10B),' Felicis wrote in its blog post, adding that 70% of its active portfolio are what it considers AI-native startups. Senkut did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
