It looks like Bullwinkle forgot to tell Rocky to go easy with the crayons.

A photographer from India has captured several incredible images of the Malabar giant squirrel that have gone viral after being posted to social media.

The squirrel, known for its multicolored fur and its large size, became an internet sensation after 39-year-old Kaushik Vijayan took the pictures deep in the forests of India, capturing the animal in its native habitat.

"The sight was an absolute feast for my eyes," Vijayan said in comments obtained by SWNS. "The squirrels fascinated me and I got excited to capture this beauty on my camera."

The amateur photographer, who works in finance in Saudi Arabia, said he was astonished by the appearance of the multi-colored squirrel, as were his friends. "It was when I shared some of the photographs on social media many of my friends and followers came to know about the Malabar Giant Squirrel and they were all amazed by its appearance," he said.

"Up until that point I had never heard about a squirrel like that or seen one," he added.

The response to his pictures, which have garnered thousands of likes and comments, only makes him want to continue his passion, Vijayan continued."The response I see from the people on social media when I post a picture of the giant squirrels fuels my enthusiasm to go out there."

Also known as an Indian squirrel, the Malabar giant squirrel can grow up to 36 inches from head to tail and jump 20 feet in the air, flying from tree to tree. By comparison, the most commonly found squirrel in the U.S., the eastern gray squirrel, is approximately 20 inches from head to tail and can weigh between 14 and 21 ounces.

For years, Tyron Woodley was used to it. He heard people call him "champion." He had the belt and all the accolades that came with it. He had it all for over two years. And it's not that he became complacent, but in some ways it seemed like he forgot what it was like to not be the champion.

The UFC is now on ESPN and ESPN+. Subscribe to ESPN+ to get: Exclusive live UFC events, weigh-ins and more; Ariel and the Bad Guy; Dana White's Contender Series; and more exclusive MMA content.

Then, a month ago, that all changed. Kamaru Usman stuck with Woodley for all five rounds, beating him via unanimous decision. And all of a sudden, everything Woodley had become accustomed to was about to change.

"Sometimes we can try and act like we got it all made and everything's figured out, but s---, I told myself I didn't really worship the belt and I didn't worship the belt, but you don't recognize until you lose the belt how many things were tied into the belt," Woodley said on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show on Monday. "How much opportunities and your platform and exposure, not to mention the amount of money you make and the pay-per-view [earnings]. You know, not that I'm going to stop getting invited to cool parties or collab with some real G's in music because of who I am.

"But you forget."

The past month has been a realization of that. Of everything he had worked to, had defended for four fights. How difficult it was to lose, something he hadn't done since June 14, 2014. Woodley said he hasn't watched the full Usman fight -- "there's no point in watching it" -- but from the clips he saw, it was like "I wasn't even there." All a viewing of it would do is frustrate him and make him realize what an opportunity he squandered and how painful losing is.

Kamaru Usman claimed the UFC welterweight title with a dominant showing against three-time defending champion Tyron Woodley in Saturday's co-feature. He's set to fight Colby Covington next.

Tyron Woodley's mom provides a few words of encouragement to Kamaru Usman after UFC 235.

Justin Gaethje shined in stopping Edson Barboza in the first round on Saturday night. Whom should the Human Highlight Reel take on next?

Woodley realized it immediately after the loss, when he didn't want to promote his new album because of all the references it made to being a champion. He realized it later, sitting at the broadcast desk at a UFC event and hearing Megan Olivi and Karen Bryant introduce him as a former champion.

Eventually, he told himself it was still "appropriate" to promote his album because he is always going to be a champion, even if he doesn't hold the current title.

But initially it all stunned him and made him feel uncomfortable. He saw people he's known for a while who used to call him "Champ" now unsure of what exactly to call him. He thought about all the work it took him to reach that point. And now it was like something was missing -- because there was something no longer there.

His title.

Not surprisingly, he would like a shot to get it back.

"Now I got to do similar to what Georges St. Pierre did when he lost to Matt Hughes and had to come back and avenge that, and lost to Matt Serra and had to come back and avenge that," Woodley said. "I thought that everything was on the up-and-up now -- don't have to struggle this much with the promotion, don't have to struggle this much with the game plan. Had that pretty much down.

"Not that I got comfortable, but I thought my days of struggling was over. But they keep telling me the comeback is going to be so severe, it's going to be so vicious that God had to [bring] me to this point. And when I come back, I'm not going to be able to even imagine what's in store for me. So that's kind of where I'm at mentally right now."

Police say a car stolen in Connecticut has crashed into the gates of singer Taylor Swift's beachfront Rhode Island home.

Westerly Police Chief Shawn Lacey tells The Sun of Westerly that officers in the neighboring Rhode Island town of Hopkinton started pursuing the vehicle at about 1 a.m. Tuesday.

He says the car sped away from several attempts to stop it, reaching speeds of up to 65 mph. The vehicle eventually crashed into the wall outside Swift's property in Westerly before ricocheting into the main entrance gate at an estimated speed of 35 mph.

The driver, 19-year-old Shykeim Edwin Lewis, of Hartford, Connecticut, faces several charges and was held on $10,000 bond. No attorney was listed in online court records.

The car's three other occupants were not charged.

With LeBron's MVP Window Closing, Past Snubs Loom Large in Legacy Debate

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Brandon Dill/Associated Press
On Christmas morning, the Lakers were five games above .500 and LeBron James was right in the thick of the early MVP conversation. Of course, we didn't know then what we know now-that James would go down with a groin injury that day against the Warriors and ultimately miss the playoffs for the first time in 14 years.

Things went so sideways for the Lakers that it's hard to remember a time, not so long ago, when James was poised to carry yet another team with no other superstars to the postseason and-who knows?-maybe even a ninth straight NBA Finals.

Had James not gotten hurt and missed 18 games-and had the Lakers not imploded as a result, leading to James being shut down for what's left of the regular season-we'd be having an entirely different conversation. Instead of debating whether Giannis Antetokounmpo or James Harden is this season's MVP, we'd be asking ourselves how many more James is capable of winning.

And to take it a step further, how many he should have won over the years.

"As long as he put up the numbers [this season], you could've seen the anti-LeBron bias go the other way," one executive within the league told Bleacher Report. "If he didn't get hurt and got this Lakers team to the playoffs, he might have been the sentimental favorite. There might have been a desire on the part of the media to do right by him and make up for past wrongs."

MVP snubs are nothing new for generational players. Michael Jordan won five and easily could have won five more. With four league MVPs and three Finals MVPs to his credit, James isn't hurting for notches on his belt as he ascends the sport's Mount Rushmore. But it's so odd for him not to be in the MVP conversation, it makes you think back on a few that got away.

"If the 'V' stands for valuable, you can make the case that LeBron is the most valuable player in the league every year, including this year," another team executive said. "He's so good that we take him for granted."

Looking back at the MVP votes he didn't win, James often has been judged against a different standard than most other players. It's a standard of his own making, but it's one that's hard to top from year to year when you're putting up numbers few in the game have ever produced.

In 2005-06, James logged a career-high 42.5 minutes per game and was third in the league in scoring behind Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson with 31.4 points per game (also a career high) to go with 7.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists. He also led a team featuring the likes of Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Eric Snow (who averaged 4.8 points per game as the starting point guard) to a 50-win season.

Come awards season, though, Steve Nash was named MVP for the second year in a row after he paced the Suns to 54 victories and led the league in assists. With the juiced-up, free-flowing Suns offense-commonplace across the league now, but revolutionary at the time-Nash also led the league in wow factor. Rather than an anti-LeBron bias, the biggest factor working against LeBron that season was that Nash, the Suns and their electrifying style were mesmerizing and something the league hadn't seen before.

The following season, James led another ragtag bunch to 50 wins and a Finals appearance, but Dirk Nowitzki's 50-40-90 season and the Mavericks' franchise-record 67 wins overshadowed him. James, still seeking his first MVP at that point, ran into a different set of circumstances that wasn't so much a bias as a buzz saw. When the league's preeminent international star puts up historical numbers and leads his team to 67 wins-an achievement only six teams in league history have topped-that's tough to overcome.
Tony Gutierrez/Associated Press
While James may not have been the most dominant regular-season player that year-he received exactly zero first-place votes even though he averaged 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists-he got the last laugh in the postseason (which doesn't factor into the MVP voting). Nowitzki and the Mavs lost to the Warriors in the first round, while James led the Cavaliers to their first-ever Finals appearance.

Payback came in 2008-09 and 2009-10 when James broke through with his first two MVPs. But when James decamped to Miami, his performances were met not just with the standard biases any great player faces, but also by an additional backlash over his departure from Cleveland as a free agent.

In his first season with the Heat, James averaged 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists. He also led the league in advanced statistics such as win shares, value over replacement player, box plus-minus and player efficiency rating.

Yet he finished third in the MVP vote-garnering only four first-place votes-when voters (including myself) were mesmerized by a flashy new kid on the block, Derrick Rose. Dwight Howard finished second.

Why the snub?

"It's called LeBron fatigue," a person in the league who knows James well told B/R. "It's like, 'OK, you're voting for Derrick Rose because it seemed more exciting when you knew in your heart LeBron was the MVP.'"

After bestowing James with two straight MVPs, voters had a natural tendency-one I can vouch for, in retrospect-to search for reasons not to vote for him again. Isn't there someone else? Oh, look, there's Rose leading the Bulls to 62 wins, the most since Jordan reigned supreme at the United Center. At 22, Rose became the youngest MVP in league history, as well as the seventh player (at the time) ever to average at least 25 points, 7.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds. That was a tough narrative for LeBron to overcome.

In truth, there was also something else at play: anger over James' clumsy journey from Cleveland to Miami via the ill-conceived TV fiasco known as "The Decision."

"Maybe because he did the Decision and he went to Miami, it deterred people from voting for him," the person who knows James well said. "Looking back on how he did the Decision and how he went to Miami, today it's normal. He was just ahead of his time, and he was penalized for it."

Once again, postseason outcomes gave James the last laugh (to an extent). The Heat beat the Bulls in five games in the Eastern Conference Finals before they lost to the Mavs in the Finals. In retrospect, however, the fact that the man almost everyone agrees is still - even at age 34 - the NBA's best player won only two MVPs over his first seven years in the league (during which he was named to the All-NBA first or second team in every year but his rookie season) is laughable.

With the benefit of time (and two of the most ruthlessly efficient seasons of his career), James won back enough voters to take home the award in 2011-12 and 2012-13. And while the three aforementioned snubs may not ultimately detract from his reputation, they were nonetheless three notches in the legacy belt he can't get back.
Lynne Sladky/Associated Press
Had James won in 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2010-11, it would've given him seven MVPs in eight years, providing a substantial boost to his case that he's the GOAT.

At this stage of his career, it seems unlikely he'll catch Jordan in the championship chase. But if James had seven MVPs compared to Jordan's five? For those who keep track of such things, that's a game-changer.

It also makes you wonder whether we should be keeping track of such things, because every MVP vote is subjective.

While it's fair to note James easily could have amassed a few more MVPs in his illustrious career, is it also fair to wonder if his days as a perennial MVP candidate are coming to an end.

That depends on how you frame the question.

If you're questioning whether he's still capable of achieving that level, "LeBron would be offended by that," the person who knows James well told B/R.

If you're asking whether that should be the goal, that's a different-and better-question.

For the player who has defined an era by becoming an annual fixture in the NBA Finals for nearly a decade, dominating the regular season-and capturing the imagination of MVP voters-may be a somewhat meaningless pursuit for other mere mortals.

In the end, that may be one of the most interesting aspects of James' legacy: He was so good for so long, he rendered the MVP award obsolete.

Two teenage boys (14 and 15 years old) were arrested and accused of throwing a rock from the side of a Kentucky roadway while driving. It hit a man in the face and now he needs surgery.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two teenage boys were arrested and accused of throwing a rock from the side of a Kentucky roadway, seriously injuring a driver, authorities said.

William Wehner, 64, was driving on KY-237 in Burlington on Saturday night when a large rock was thrown through his windshield, according to the Boone County Sheriff's Office.

Wehner was seriously injured but was able to pull off the road, the sheriff's office said.

(Boone County Sheriff) The Boone County Sheriff's Office released images of this rock that authorities say two teenage boys threw at a Kentucky roadway, seriously injuring a driver.

The rock "got him on the right side of his face, just missed his eye," the victim's brother, Randy Wehner, told ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO. "If it was just a few inches higher, it could have been a whole lot worse."

William Wehner was treated for facial injuries at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, the sheriff's office said.

The two boys, ages 14 and 15, are accused of two rock throwing incidents that night, including the one that hurt Wehner, authorities said.

(Boone County Sheriff) The Boone County Sheriff's Office released images of this rock that authorities say two teenage boys threw at a Kentucky roadway, seriously injuring a driver.

The 14-year-old was charged with first-degree assault and second-degree criminal mischief and the 15-year-old was charged with first-degree complicity to assault and second-degree criminal mischief, authorities said.

The boys, who both live in Burlington, were taken to the Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Newport, Kentucky, the sheriff's office said.

The driver will need reconstructive surgery, which "speaks to the degree of danger involved in these pranks," Maj. Tom Scheben, Boone County Sheriff's spokesman, told ABC News in an email.

"One might argue that at ages 14 and 15 years old the boys simply didn't comprehend the consequences of their actions," Scheben said. "But thank goodness they are not representative of most boys of that age group."

Lonzo Ball Sues Alan Foster over Alleged Embezzlement from BBB

fraudulent scheme" to steal more than $1.5 million, according to Lonzo Ball has filed a lawsuit against Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster for allegedly using a " TMZ Sports.

The lawsuit also says Foster "threatened to expose the Ball family with false information to the public" after he was confronted about the missing money.

Ball severed ties with Foster following the feud, per Ramona Shelburne and Paula Lavigne of ESPN.com.

Foster owns 16.3 percent of the company, but according to the lawsuit, the Ball family had no knowledge of the fact that he had gone to prison for his role in a Ponzi scheme.

They now believe he only got close to the family in order to steal money once the player made money in the NBA.

"I've always believed in the best in people. Regretfully, I put my complete trust in Alan Foster to manage my son's business affairs," LaVar Ball said, per Shelburne and Lavigne. "At the end of the day, family comes first, and I support Zo wholeheartedly. Together, we will make this right."

Lonzo has attempted to completely rid himself of the Big Baller Brand, covering up a BBB tattoo on his arm.

On the other hand, LaVar argued that the "brand is good," per TMZ Sports, and the shoe company will live on beyond the Foster situation.

Washington Nationals fans didn't exactly welcome Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper back to his old stomping grounds with open arms Tuesday.

In Harper's first trip to Nationals Park as a visitor, Nationals fans showered him with boos during a pregame tribute video:

MLB Network @MLBNetwork
Bryce Harper was greeted by a chorus of boos in his return to D.C. on #MLBNShowcase. https://t.co/bxYPngzhPI

Those boos turned into cheers and a petty tweet from the team's Twitter account when Nationals ace Max Scherzer struck Harper out in his first at-bat in the first inning:

MLB @MLB
Round 1 goes to Max. https://t.co/bbM1znBWce

Washington Nationals @Nationals
thank u, next

While the Nationals can tweet whatever they like, they were the ones who didn't offer the six-time All-Star the same type of deal he received in Philadelphia. Barry Svrluga of the Washington Post reported the team's initial offer to Harper was for 10 years and $300 million, with payments deferred until 2052.

Washington then decreased the offer on Jan. 3 to 12 years and $250 million, with deferred payments until 2072.

Instead, Harper signed with the National League East-rival Phillies for 13 years and $330 million with no payment deferrals.

A single mother of three facing financial difficulties was "shocked" when her 13-year-old son came home one day and said, "mom I bought you a car."

Krystal Jo Preston of Fernley, Nev., shared the story on Facebook about how her life has "been hell filled with so many tears, anger, confusion and heartache" in recent weeks, and how her son, William, was helping out as a "lawn mowing, yard cleaning, money making machine."

Turns out one of his jobs wasn't for cash. He'd seen a cheap 1999 Chevrolet Metro listed for sale on Facebook and asked the owner if he could trade his Xbox for it, or do some yard work for her, William told KOLO.

"At first she said no and after she thought about it, then she said yes."

William got the idea from seeing videos on YouTube of children surprising their moms with cars. Preston said she thought it was a joke when her son and the seller arrived at her house to take her to pick up the white sedan.

"I was handed the keys and paperwork to the car and I'm freaking out but so in shock like Ong [sp] this is happening right now. So we got into the car it started right up and off we went," she wrote.

"I am so proud of my son. He is such a good kid. He may have his days but OMG what 13-year-old kid do you know that buys his mom a car... William I love you son and thank you. You have such a big heart and I love you..."

A Pennsylvania man lied about military service, and he lied about his mother's death, and he also lied about a drug rehabilitation.
All of these lies were to get lesser charges from the crimes he had done before.He was charged with 4 8 year sentences and 2 year probation.

A Pennsylvania man already facing prison time -- and already in hot water for lying about his military service and his mom's death -- is going to be spending even more time behind bars after a judge caught him telling another tall tale.

Joseph Gorzoch, 41, of Bensalem was found to have lied when he told authorities he completed a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program while at the Bucks County Jail. In this instance, Gorzoch was undone by math: officials realized he couldn't have completed the 90-day program if he was only incarcerated for 67 days.

Deputy District Attorney Bob James checked on previous statements Gorzoch made to a judge about completing the program, which would have helped him receive a lesser sentence in cases involving two separate DUI charges and a theft incident.

"He technically turned what could have been a 1-to-2-year sentence into a 5-to-10-year sentence by lying to everybody," James told KYW News Radio.

Gorzoch had previously shown an aversion to the truth when he claimed to have been injured while serving in Afghanistan as a U.S. Navy sergeant as part of a bid to receive a lighter sentence for a pair of DUI charges.

James, who is a U.S. Air Force veteran, said he knew something was wrong with the story since the Navy doesn't have the rank of sergeant.

He told the Bucks County Courier-Times that the false claim was dishonoring those who actually served and noted Gorzoch has also lied about his mother's death in order to have another court case delayed.

In March, the 41-year-old was sentenced to four to eight years in state prison and two years of probation after he claimed to have completed the 90-day addiction program, FOX29 reported. But after the truth emerged, James filed a motion of reconsideration, and a judge decided to add one to two years to Gorzoch's sentence in light of the most recent lie -- extending his sentence in state prison to 5-to-10 years.

"I believe he's a sociopath," James told KYW, "and he's going to double down every time he comes into court with a different story, different excuse."
