Crabs, as with other species like lobsters and crayfish, are known to have teeth in their stomachs. In the absence of teeth in their mouths, this feature, called a gastric mill, allows them to process food. “There are three main teeth—a medial tooth and two lateral teeth—that are essentially elongated, hard (calcified) structures,” Jennifer Taylor, from the University of California, San Diego, told Newsweek. “They are part of the gastric mill apparatus in the stomach, where they rub against each other to grind up food....

Stanton laid out at the right-field wall of Pittsburgh’s PNC Park to rob Josh Harrison in second inning of Monday’s game.

Maybe he is worth that massive contract.

After the Bucks secured the victory, which trimmed the Nets’ Eastern Conference semifinals lead to 2-1, ESPN’s Mike Breen declared that they were right back in the series. But with respect to the Hall of Fame announcer, that seems a bit premature.

Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as doubtful for Game 1 of the Finals against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, when the Bucks begin their quest for a first NBA title since 1971. Antetokounmpo hyperextended his left knee in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Atlanta Hawks on June 29. The “Greek Freak” suffered the injury after landing awkwardly on his left leg as he attempted to contest an alley-oop from John Collins to Clint Capela halfway through the third quarter of the Bucks’ 110-88 defeat....

The Bucks were shocked in Game 1 of the series when Nikola Vucevic’s 35 points inspired the Magic to a 122-110 triumph in the NBA’s Orlando bubble. Vucevic was a thorn in the Bucks’ side again on Thursday, finishing with 32 points and 10 rebounds, but it was a quiet night from his Magic teammates as Milwaukee ran out with a 111-96 win. Antetokounmpo was typically influential and in scoring 28 points and picking up 20 rebounds he became just the second Bucks player after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to have a 20-point, 20-rebound game in the playoffs....

The Giants left fielder was a boxer growing up in his native Puerto Rico before becoming a professional baseball player. Friday at AT&T Park, Pagan put his combat sports skills into practice as he dropped a fan who ran onto the field in the top fourth inning of the Giants’ game against the rival Dodgers. Pagan baited the fan, who was carrying flowers, into approaching him before executing the devastating finishing move:...

The second-year player has shed 12 pounds after his position coach told him he needed to lose weight. Collins obliged, and he did so by getting rid of the cookies in his pantry. MORE: What we know (and still don’t know) about your team “Oreos. Vanilla Oreos. That was my biggest weakness. A whole pack in at least an hour and a half,” he told the New York Post. “You have to change your eating habits....

“Quite frankly, on our list of issues of the day, it really doesn’t matter what Odell or Baker say,” Shurmur told reporters Tuesday (per SNY). “There’s many other things that we should probably be discussing. … we wish him well. It was a trade. We said that all along. I wouldn’t comment on what he feels about the situation.” Shurmur’s comments come shortly after Beckham opened up about his trade in a Sports Illustrated piece, claiming the Giants sent him to the Browns to watch his career die and that it was a personal decision rather than business....

Still, the 2022 NFL Draft represents an opportunity for New York general manager Joe Schoen to make some much-needed improvements and build around fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones. The Giants likely won’t have their top two choices available to them with the Nos. 5 and 7 picks, but those selections will offer no shortage of top-tier talent to improve the team heading into 2022. The Giants own the No. 5 pick as a result of their 4-13 record in 2021, which saw them place dead last in a tremendously weak NFC East....

Lionel Messi was the most popular choice, while Cristiano Ronaldo failed to muster a mention. Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic earned a nod. The question seemed to puzzle LA Galaxy star Giovani dos Santos briefly, before he came up with a logical answer. “One player? Wow, that’s difficult because there are a lot of good players who could come to MLS and help MLS,” Dos Santos said. “I will say my brother Jonathan....

The animal, named Stanley, has lived at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu since 2015, according to a report on the case by ABC 7 Eyewitness News. The giraffe has been “seized in place” by the CDFW as evidence in two pending trials against its owner and separately against the operator of Malibu Wine Safaris, where the giraffe is an attraction. In 2013’s The Hangover sequel Zach Galifianiakis’ character Alan Garner purchases a giraffe (Stanley) which is later decapitated on a low overpass....

Kelly Hume was traveling in the car driven by her older sister when the vehicle left the roadway in Crown Point, Lake County city, on Saturday night. The teenager was thrown from the car at about 8 p.m. in the 4500 block of West 113th Avenue in the single-car accident, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene, having died from blunt force trauma, the Northwest Indiana Times reported....

The seven-year-old girl and man, 29, were in their vehicle at the McDonald’s drive-thru on the 3200-block of W. Roosevelt at around 4:15 p.m. on Sunday. According to ABC7, a McDonald’s employee saw two men jump out of another car in the drive-thru lane and open fire when they got close to the vehicle. The young girl was shot multiple times and the man was hit in the torso. At least 30 shell casings were found close to the car....

In its most newsworthy finding, Pew found that 28 percent of American adults have changed their religious affiliation since childhood. That number includes only major changes—Protestant to Jewish, Catholic to Protestant, Jewish to no affiliation—and does not include changes from one Protestant denomination to another or within other, smaller denominations. The other major finding is the number of Americans who call themselves “unaffiliated”: 16 percent, or double the number of those who said they grew up in unaffiliated homes....

Witness Thursday's latest thrashing, a 4-1 stumble against the rival Penguins. Denizens who directed catcalls and jeers at Sidney Crosby before the puck was dropped turned their leather lungs the Flyers' direction after the final horn. Having already dumped Peter Laviolette, they are struggling with replacement Craig Berube behind the bench. Laviolette went 0-3; Berube is 1-4. "We've got to start believing in each other, believing in ourselves, and going out and play hockey like we can," Berube said after the game....

The crew from the university landscape services said they were cutting down the dying tree when they found not one, but four bizarre-looking squirrels and recorded what they saw, the Lincoln Journal Star reported. Shortly after, the squirrels jumped off their tree and glided over to another oak tree and slipped out of view. “We’re like, ‘What the heck is that?’” said Brian Dieterman, a member of the crew. “We’re used to seeing squirrels in trees, but this didn’t look like a squirrel....

Mix it up. By the time she gets home from work, Tanya Wenman Steel, an editor at Bon Appetit magazine, has about 20 minutes to make dinner and pack the next day’s lunches for her 6-year-old twins, Will and Sanger. Still, a successful lunch, she says, must combine the essential kid courses: a drink, an entree, nibbles and a treat. She always includes a protein, like a thin slice of meatloaf with cranberry chutney on whole-wheat bread, stir-fried-steak in peanut sauce or a bran muffin split horizontally and slathered with cream cheese....

Well, maybe some people do. At $900 per pound, white truffles are extravagant by any standard, though all you really need is a single ounce. Available from late October through early February, they traditionally grow in the woods of northern Italy’s Piedmont region, where trained dogs ferret out the knobby bulbs. A wet summer has yielded a bumper crop, driving prices down about 20 percent from last year. While hardly a bargain, they’re more accessible to home cooks than ever....
