Encounter with a rare blanket octopus that spends its life in the open ocean.

Robin Hood Tree, Northumberland

The felling of the Sycamore Gap tree caused international outrage. It stood in a dramatic dip along Hadrian's Wall in the Northumberland National Park, making it one of the most photographed spots in the UK. In addition to destroying the landmark, the vandals caused structural damage to Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago.

Two men, Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers, were charged with criminal damage for the felling. Prosecutors detailed that the men carefully planned the operation, driving to the site in the middle of the night to cut down the tree with a chainsaw, filming their actions, and taking a wedge of the trunk as a "trophy".

The pair were convicted in May 2025 and, in July 2025, sentenced to four years and three months in prison.
