The Two Headed Terrapin

Caloroga Shark Media / Happiness Good News Lab
About this episode
Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: wildlife workers in Massachusetts found a rare two-headed (bicephalic) baby diamondback terrapin that is being monitored at the Cape Wildlife Center; archaeologists in a Paris hospital courtyard on the Seine discovered a 2,000-year-old Gallic fortification wall and related finds dated to around Julius Caesar’s 52 BCE conquest; a bear wandered into an Aspen market, ate bread from a booth, climbed a tree when authorities arrived, and left on its own; New York City planted 18,261 trees in fiscal year 2026, the most since 2016, focusing on heat-vulnerable neighborhoods and improving nursery timing and post-plant care; and the Oxford English Dictionary added Bermuda and Caribbean terms including “bimbert,” “hornerman,” “jablis,” “douen,” and “vex money.”
