The Khmer "Leper King"
(NOVA PBS Official) Premiered Jan. 28, 2026: New evidence sheds light on the remarkable life – and mysterious collapse – of the ancient Buddhist/Hindu jungle city (150+ square miles in size like Denver).

Uncover the lost secrets of a once-mighty empire. The massive capital City of Angkor [aka Yaśodharapura, City of Yasovarman I (or Yasodhara?), with more than one million inhabitants in ancient times], the seat of the great Khmer Empire in Southeast Asia for 500 years, was once the biggest city in the world.
Khmer Empire (Wiki)
For centuries, this incredible civilization flourished, building the largest religious monument on Earth, Angkor Wat (one square kilometer wat "Angkor Temple"), and mastering urban engineering in a challenging landscape. But then it was mysteriously abandoned, swallowed by the jungle.

Now, cutting-edge technology and new discoveries are finally revealing how this astounding empire rose to global prominence – and what likely led to its devastating collapse.

Follow a scientific detective story that is challenging everything we thought we knew about this ancient Buddhist-Hindu metropolis.

Record shark found: Track it from home

(CNN) Jeff Kurr, the producer and director of Discovery's "Shark Week," discusses footage his team captured of a great white shark destroying a diver's enclosure. (Discovery and CNN share a corporate parent, Warner Bros. Discovery.)

Is Jaws real in Marthas Vineyard?
Scientists have found the largest great white shark ever recorded swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.

[Do they grow bigger in the Pacific Ocean near California, the Mariana Trench, or Hawaii? Years ago, I saw one I'd estimate was one ton and 15 feet from a trawler in Santa Monica Bay as swimmers and surfers frolicked on LA and OC County beaches without a care in the world. This fish was so big, had I fallen from  the rail, it could have swallowed me without chewing like a biblical whale. It was so big and alarming as it surfaced, chasing a halibut, I carefully climbed off the rail as my hair stood on end. This predator was no joke and bigger than Jaws.]


The Great Contender
Shark attacks surged around US beaches in the last year, especially off the coasts of Florida, the Carolinas, and California.

The largest white shark in the Northwest Atlantic, named "Contender," was found off the coast of Georgia on Jan. 17th, 2025. Ocearch, a nonprofit conducting research on sharks, reported that ocean researchers have been tracking Contender's movements around the Atlantic.

Shark enthusiasts can track Contender from home by visiting Ocearch's sharking tracking portal.

Animal plane: Sharks eat dolphins, and dolphins (killer whales) eat sharks

Mom, I hate Disney World! Take me home!
As of Sunday, Contender was swimming off the coast of Florida, near the tourist beaches of Orlando, near Disneyland (Walt Disney World), where kids love to go and cool off.

The shark is measured at 13.8 feet long, weighing an estimated 1,653 pounds. He has swum nearly 200 miles since he was first tagged.

By tracking Contender the researchers will be able to learn more about his migration patterns. The tag will record real time data for the next five years on Contender's movements. More
