    Why Michiganders should check their trees for Asian longhorned beetles in August

    Michigan officials are urging the public to check their trees for signs of the invasive Asian longhorned beetle during August, recognized as Tree Check Month. This non-native wood-boring beetle attacks over 12 types of hardwood trees and causes fatal infestations characterized by round exit holes. To prevent spread, the Michigan DNR advises leaving firewood at home or using certified, heat-treated options, and any sightings should be reported to the designated hotline.

    Fafnir the alligator is thriving nearly a year after her Belle Isle rescue — and she's grown a foot

    Fafnir the American alligator, rescued from Belle Isle in October, has grown a foot since being relocated to the Great Lakes Serpentarium. She now shares her enclosure with four other rescued alligators and is thriving under the care of co-owner Kate Minnaar. The Michigan DNR confirmed the initial alligator sighting, and Fafnir's rescuer, Steve Hart, emphasized her survival was unlikely in the wild.
