Good morning, Jupiter.

Mark McCarthy began working with animals as a teen and founded McCarthy Wildlife Sanctuary on 8 acres in The Acreage; he now celebrates 35 years of offering wildlife programs and caring for native animals — where visitors see big cats, birds, and snakes and learn that animals are much smarter than many think. His passion has turned a small acre and house into one of Palm Beach County’s most popular local attractions.

Researchers from Princeton University are testing lion attack trajectories at Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee using zebra patterned and plain lures to see if stripes cause a dazzle confusion effect (using AI for detailed movement analysis).

The team has completed about 60 runs so far and early results show differences between male and female lions' hunting methods as the study continues.

Local chef Michael Rolchigo opened Tavolena two years ago to serve classic Italian dishes and let diners sit at his grandmother Lena’s table — he says the restaurant builds on family tradition — and it now includes a new bakery next door offering fresh pastries and sandwiches.
