M7.3 Offshore Mexico Quake Triggers Tsunami Warning; No Major Damage Reported

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off southern Mexico near Puerto Madero, triggering a tsunami warning for parts of the Pacific; no deaths or major damage were reported in Mexico or Guatemala, though tremors were felt in El Salvador. Observed waves about 0.3 m were recorded along some Mexican coasts before the threat was downgraded. USGS put the depth at 15.2 km; aftershocks followed, and authorities urged residents to stay away from beaches and monitor guidance from NOAA and local officials.

Fatal Shark Attack on Young Diver Off Pacific Coast of Mexico

A 22-year-old fisherman, Víctor Alejandro Soto García, was killed by a great white shark while diving for scallops off the Pacific coast of Mexico. This marks at least the third deadly shark attack in Mexican waters in about a month, with recent incidents also reported in Zihuatanejo and Melaque. Authorities emphasized the importance of preventive measures for fishermen and highlighted that most shark attacks are cases of mistaken identity. The NOAA notes that only a small number of shark species are involved in human-related attacks, and unprovoked shark bites have decreased over the past decade.

Ancient Sea Ice Highway: North America's First Settlers' Journey Revealed

Researchers propose that early humans may have arrived in North America as early as 24,000 years ago, challenging the conventional belief of a migration through an ice-free corridor 13,000 years ago. The study suggests that early Americans may have traveled along a "sea ice highway" along the Pacific coastline from Beringia, challenging previous theories of a "kelp highway" for migration. Recent archaeological and genetic finds support the presence of humans on the continent earlier than previously thought.

Fatal Animal Attack at Mexican Resort Leaves One Dead and One Injured

A 76-year-old Belgian tourist was killed and a 52-year-old American woman was severely injured in separate attacks by either a shark or a crocodile along Mexico's Pacific coast. The attacks occurred in the same region where a woman was previously killed by a shark and where a crocodile was spotted on a crowded beach. Authorities are investigating the incidents and have not ruled out either species as the culprit.
