Kylie Masse made history on Tuesday.

The Canadian broke the world record in 100-metre backstroke Tuesday at the world aquatics championships in Budapest, becoming the first female Canadian swimmer to ever win a world title.

“I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet,” said Masse. “I touched the wall, I looked back and I had to make sure I as looking at the right name and the right time. I was just super excited in the moment.”

Masse’s time of 58.10 seconds snaps the longest-standing record in women’s swimming, held since 2009. The previous best time was 58.12 seconds.

Baby elephants suck their trunks! As in all young mammals, an elephant calf’s sucking reflex, which prompts it to drink from its mother’s breast, is strong. And when a youngster is not feeding, it may suck its trunk for comfort, just as a human baby would suck its thumb.

Newborn elephants have little control over their trunks and must learn how to use them. They practise by exploring their environment - touching fellow herd members, their surroundings and themselves. They must then master the use of their trunks for feeding. With more than 50,000 individual muscle units in the trunk, it’s a complex skill to learn.

Though trunk-sucking is more common in the early stages of life, elephants of all ages do it, even big old bulls, usually when they are feeling nervous or unsure.
