How a Forensics Lab in Oregon Solves Crimes Against Animals

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service Forensics Laboratory is the only lab in the world devoted entirely to investigating crimes against animals.

Living to Travel, Travelling to Live: The Adventures of Damon and Jo

Damon and Jo are two young multilingual travel bloggers who are redefining what it means to connect with audiences. After television executives dismissed their pitch for a travel show, the pair became more determined than ever to share their experiences on their own terms, and did just that. DIRECTV from AT&T joined Damon and Jo for an epic road trip through the American Southwest.

In Belgium, Shrimping on Horseback for 700 Years

For nearly 700 years, the shrimpers of Oostduinkerke, Belgium, have been training draft horses to help them pursue the local catch. Typically weighing more than 2,000 pounds, these horses are well suited to the task of carrying fishermen through the cold waters of the North Sea. Yet despite its historical importance, Oostduinkerke is the last place on Earth to use this traditional form of fishing.

This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.
