Fox Nation to premiere 'Yellowstone to Yosemite' with Kevin Costner

27 January 2025 at 14:22

Hollywood heavyweight Kevin Costner is teaming up with Fox Nation once again for a new limited series titled "Yellowstone to Yosemite," a sequel to his breakout hit, "Yellowstone: One-Fifty."

"Kevin Costner has a unique ability to capture the American experience and captivate an audience through his extraordinary storytelling," Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson said while announcing the partnership.

The "Dances with Wolves" and "Field of Dreams" star will host and produce the 3-part series that traces the footsteps of 26th President Teddy Roosevelt and environmental advocate John Muir's pivotal 1903 Yosemite expedition.

In the process, he brings to life the story of America's indigenous legacy, the outsiders that came along and how Muir became a crusader for America's wildest places.

These elements, all essential to preserving the captivating story of the American frontier, led to where America's more structured National Park System is today – 150 National Forests, five National Parks, along with the preservation and protection of 230 million acres of land.

"Once in a while, you come across a story that has that truly special mix of elements; it's strangerΒ than fiction and happens against all odds. It results in something that legitimately changes the world for the good and, most importantly, it all really happened," Costner said, speaking to its allure.

"The story of President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir's camping trip through Yosemite is one of those truly special ones, and I'm excited to dig into the next chapter of the preservation of the American frontier."

Episode one of the series will debut Saturday, February 8, kicking off the streaming platform’s year-long "America 250" campaign, which will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

"With the enormous success of our first project together, there is no filmmaker that better embodies the spirit of America 250 than Costner," Petterson said.

New episodes will drop on the platform each week.

Venomous creatures wash up on popular North Carolina beaches

24 September 2024 at 20:51

Venomous creatures were spotted washing up on the beaches of the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and the National Park Service sent out a warning about the punch these slugs pack.

The Cape Hatteras National Seashore posted on Facebook that Blue Sea Dragons (Glaucus atlanticus) have been spotted on the beaches.

"This venomous sea slug lives in the open ocean and occasionally gets stranded on land following strong winds," officials from the National Seashore posted to Facebook. "They may only grow to about an inch long, but don't let their size fool you. They pack a punch!"

According to Oceana.org, Blue Sea Dragons go by other names like sea swallow or blue angel and can grow to about 1.3 inches.

They are often found throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans in tropical and subtropical waters.

The specimen is considered a sea slug and spends most of its life floating upside-down at the surface and staying afloat by storing air bubbles in its stomach, the organization wrote.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore officials say Blue Sea Dragons move through ocean currents feeding on their meal of choice: the Portuguese man o’ war.

"Because their meals consist of such a venomous creature, they are capable of storing that venom for their own defense," the park service wrote. "They concentrate that ingested venom and deliver a sting that is even more powerful! Talk about a fiery bite for such a small dragon."

Since these tiny slugs carry such a strong toxin, park officials advise anyone who comes across one of these blue beauties to admire it from a safe distance and be cautious of others nearby.

"Blue Sea Dragons can travel in groups known as β€˜Blue Fleets,’" the post read. "If they are discovered, dead or alive, they remain venomous. Please enjoy this fascinating organism without touching it."
