    UK fans of Labubu won't be able to snag the toy in stores for a bit.
    The toy's producer, Pop Mart, said it would temporarily pause physical Labubu sales in the UK.
    It said this was to "ensure the safety" of people after long lines formed outside UK Pop Mart stores.

    Labubu fans in the UK have gone so wild for the toy, its seller has temporarily paused in-store sales.Pop Mart, the Chinese toymaker behind the viral doll that's taking the world by storm, announced the pause in an Instagram post on Tuesday."Due to the increasing demand for our beloved Labubus, we've seen a significant rise in customer turnout on restock days — with long queues forming outside our stores and Roboshops," the toymaker said.Pop Mart sells products in 16 locations across the UK, including the vending machine-style Roboshops."To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone, we will temporarily pause all in-store and roboshop sales of THE MONSTERS plush toys until further notice," Pop Mart added.Pop Mart said online drops of the toy would continue as usual.At least a dozen videos on TikTok of Pop Mart's stores in the UK show snaking lines forming at its entrances ahead of product drops.A video of the Pop Mart in Bullring, a shopping mall in Birmingham, showed a line stretching around the building. Barricades were set up at the start of the line to organize the queue.This comes as Labubu fever spreads from Asia to the West, with fans queuing for hours to get their hands on the furry plushie with serrated teeth.Labubus, which come in various designs, are sold in blind boxes, or toys that are not labeled.Pop Mart staff in Singapore told BI in November that stores are restocked with a few hundred figurines twice a week, but they sell out in minutes.Labubu and The Monsters toy line was a major cash cow for Pop Mart in 2024. According to the company's annual report, its sales totaled 3.04 billion yuan, or about million, which was 23% of Pop Mart's total revenue.Representatives for Pop Mart did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

    Carnivorous crocodile-like monsters used to terrorize the Caribbean

    While low sea levels helped sebecids spread, rising waters left them isolated.

    How did reptilian things that looked something like crocodiles get to the Caribbean islands from South America millions of years ago? They probably walked.
    The existence of any prehistoric apex predators in the islands of the Caribbean used to be doubted. While their absence would have probably made it even more of a paradise for prey animals, fossils unearthed in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic have revealed that these islands were crawling with monster crocodyliform species called sebecids, ancient relatives of crocodiles.
    While sebecids first emerged during the Cretaceous, this is the first evidence of them lurking outside South America during the Cenozoic epoch, which began 66 million years ago. An international team of researchers has found that these creatures would stalk and hunt in the Caribbean islands millions of years after similar predators went extinct on the South American mainland. Lower sea levels back then could have exposed enough land to walk across.
    “Adaptations to a terrestrial lifestyle documented for sebecids and the chronology of West Indian fossils strongly suggest that they reached the islands in the Eocene-Oligocene through transient land connections with South America or island hopping,” researchers said in a study recently published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
    Origin story
    During the late Eocene to early Oligocene periods of the mid-Cenozoic, about 34 million years ago, many terrestrial carnivores already roamed South America. Along with crocodyliform sebecids, these included enormous snakes, terror birds, and metatherians, which were monster marsupials. At this time, the sea levels were low, and the islands of the Eastern Caribbean are thought to have been connected to South America via a land bridge called GAARlandia. This is not the first land bridge to potentially provide a migration opportunity.
    Fragments of a single tooth unearthed in Seven Rivers, Jamaica, in 1999 are the oldest fossil evidence of a ziphodont crocodyliformin the Caribbean. It was dated to about 47 million years ago, when Jamaica was connected to an extension of the North American continent known as the Nicaragua Rise. While the tooth from Seven Rivers is thought to have belonged to a ziphodont other than a sebacid, that and other vertebrate fossils found in Jamaica suggest parallels with ecosystems excavated from sites in the American South.
    The fossils found in areas like the US South that the ocean would otherwise separate suggest more than just related life forms. It's possible that the Nicaragua Rise provided a pathway for migration similar to the one sebecids probably used when they arrived in the Caribbean islands.

    Walking the walk
    So how did sebecids get from one land mass to the other on foot? They were made for it.
    Sebecids evolutionarily diverged from crocodiles during the Jurassic period. They had skulls similar to those of theropod dinosaurs, with a high rostrumthat was long and narrow. Their mouths were full of ziphodont teeth, which are compressed along the sides and have a serrated edge made for tearing flesh. Most important among the adaptations that made sebecids terrestrial animals were legs longer than their crocodilian brethren—legs made for walking on land.
    “Considering their terrestrial adaptations, their dispersal may have been either facilitated by some ephemeral terrestrial connection or string of large and closely spaced islands or occurred on a natural raft,” the research team said in the same study.
    Though they have been found across South America, earlier specimens of sebecids are best documented in the south of the continent, while later specimens surfaced in the north and tropical zones. Both the ziphodont teeth and concave vertebrae are found among the fossils found in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, giving them away as sebecids. The locations of the fossils are consistent with the types of environments these carnivores were thought to inhabit as the Eocene gave way to the Oligocene.
    After they ended up in the Caribbean, the original population of sebecids eventually became isolated as sea levels rose, leaving the sub-populations on islands surrounded by water.
    The sebecids were apex predators in South America and are thought to have stayed at the top of the food chain in their new hunting grounds. Some sebecid remains have been found with fossils of terrestrial and semiaquatic vertebrates, such as sloths and turtles, that supposedly were their prey.
    Not only did sebecids get around, but they also lasted 5 million years longer in the Caribbean than they did in South America. This might have been because certain plant and animal species that died out on the mainland continued to survive on the islands. Crocodiles and predatory birds took over as apex predators after the sebecids died out. Even with a mouth full of knives, you can’t be at the top forever.

  • The Best Use of Damascus Steel Turns Out to Be In Your Backyard (or in the Wilderness)

    When you look up Damascus steel saw blades on the internet you'll find many tutorials for would-be blacksmiths about upcycling end-of-use bandsaw blades into the pricey material that practically defines the garish realm of collector knives.This tool from Woxna, completes that circle in a way, rescuing Damascus steel from the display case and putting it back to practical use in an everyday workhorse: the pruning saw. Woxna is a relatively new company looking to produce premium outdoor gear and with their folding saw aim to upgrade theweakest leg of a well-heeled bushcrafter's blade tripartite of axe, knife, saw.  The founders turned to Nikita Golovlev of Struktur Design, a Swedish industrial design firm, to help them develop it.The saw folds for protection of both hand and blade, in the garden or out in the wild. The handle is offered in walnut and oak, and initially the blade came in high-carbon and stainless steel flavors. The Damascus version emerged as a bit of a lark for the company, but one rooted in a foundational desire to make objects worthy of passing down through generations. The conceptual power of Damascus steel derives from its formation, the folding and welding of its layers at anvil and furnace. Its visible path through forging is the selling point, but ironically in the market its story is held to surface level on the seamless edge of knives, reduced simply to style. Woxna and Struktur have serendipitously stumbled upon the natural medium for the narrative of Damascus – the thick blade and serrations of a pruning saw. Here the variegated strata of force and material are sharply delineated in every angular tooth. Stainless or not, sticking your saw blade in water, especially in the boonies, is not Core77 approved.Could Damascus steel's implied promise of high-performance be realized in this form? When you look closely you see that during manufacture, when the teeth are ground, the varied hardness of the layers create mini-serrations on the cutting edges. If you've ever been tempted by the look of Damascus this is the moment to take action — in Woxna's outdoor saw its beauty runs more than skin-deep.
