The Cape May County Park and Zoo has a new addition, and he has a star-worthy name. Leonardo DiCatprio, or Leo for short, a five-year-old Eurasian lynx, has a new home at the popular New Jersey zoo, joining the Small Mammals section near the porcupines and bobcats. The zoo shared that Leo was a former pet that was rescued after wandering the streets of Long Island, New York. Then, for the last four years, he lived at the Holtsville Wildlife and Ecology Center in Brookhaven, Long Island. Leo can be seen daily during Zoo hours, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome yet another exciting member of our Zoo family,” said Andrew Bulakowski, Vice Director of the Cape May County Board of County Commissioners. “The care our animals receive is second to none, and our team is excited to work with Leo. We can’t wait for our residents and visitors to see him.” According to the zoo, the Eurasian lynx is the largest of the lynx species and typically

Offense has been hard to come by in South Philadelphia recently. At a premium, per se. But when the rookie, 22-year-old, top-ranked pitching prospect and former first-rounder throws the way he did, that doesn’t matter much. Andrew Painter was dominant. In the Phillies’ 3-2 win over the Nationals, Painter delivered a memorable five-and-a-third inning, one-run, eight-strikeout performance in front of the 40,709 in attendance. He was, at times, borderline unhittable. Painter’s tip of the cap and the crowd’s deafening ovation on his way off the mound matched one another. There wasn’t a moment in the start where Painter looked flustered, part of the calm, cool and collected demeanor that has always followed him. Nothing seemed to phase the right-hander. The biggest thing attached to Painter’s name since the beginning of last season has been his control — more specifically, his ability to get ahead of hitters. That was the biggest knock in his first season back fro

The Phillies retained some important catching depth when popular veteran Garrett Stubbs cleared waivers Saturday and accepted an assignment to Triple A Lehigh Valley. Stubbs, 32, essentially becomes the Phillies’ third-string catcher behind J.T. Realmuto and Rafael Marchan, who are both with the big-league team. Stubbs was the team’s primary backup to Realmuto for three seasons (2022 to 2024) before being optioned to Lehigh Valley after spring training 2025 and spending most of the season there.  Stubbs was out of options this year. After he failed to make the big club out of spring training, the Phillies made him available for a trade then passed him through waivers. Phillies management was hopeful that Stubbs would choose to remain with the organization because of the depth he provides. As incentive for Stubbs to stay with the organization, the club will pay him $575,000, a hefty minor-league salary. In an effort to increase his versatility, Stubbs is expected to get

Savannah Guthrie will be returning to TODAY and has opened up about her decision to come back to “this beautiful place that we call home.” In the third part of Savannah’s interview with Hoda Kotb that aired on TODAY March 27, the TODAY co-anchor spoke about why she is coming back amidst the ongoing search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. Hoda shared that Savannah’s first day back will be Monday, April 6, the day after Easter. It will mark her first in-studio appearance on the show since Jan. 30, which was two days before her mother was reported missing from her home in Arizona. “It’s hard to imagine doing it because it’s such a place of joy and lightness, and I can’t come back and try to be something that I’m not,” Savannah said. “But I can’t not come back, because it’s my family. I think it’s part of my purpose right now.” “I want to smile. And when I do, it will be real,” she continued. “I will have joy. And my joy will be my protest. My joy will be my ans

Tower ladder three is a long awaited addition to Camden’s North 27th Street Station that is part of the larger effort to address aging apparatus throughout the city. “There are fire trucks older than some of our firefighters,” Camden Fire Department Chief Jesse Flax.
