Malta lost its famous landmark called “Kissing Elephant” on 27 June.

The natural arch got its name from looking like two elephants facing each other, with the tips of their extended trunks touching as if smooching. The rock formation is located on the southern coastline of Comino, a small Maltese island situated between the islands of Malta and Gozo.

The arch collapsed when a tourist dove from the rock, the New York Post (NYP) reported.

Unfortunately, a 26-year-old Chinese man jet skiing below was hit by the falling rock, which pinned him underwater, while the 27-year-old woman with him was seriously injured, the Times of Malta reported, according to the NYP.

The diver was unharmed, but the jet skier died, and his body had to be recovered underwater using a crane barge, the NYP reported.

Meanwhile, residents of Hillsborough, North Carolina, are outraged by the vultures that have made the town their second home.

Aside from perching on roofs, the vultures have been seen around landfills, community dumpsters, and boat ramps, where food is readily available, Bryan Watts, director of the Center for Conservation Biology at William and Mary, told Fox News.

Watts warned that vultures are attracted to and can damage windshield wipers, car trim, and parts of house roofs. The birds can also behave aggressively toward pets and livestock, he said.

What residents are complaining about, though, are the falling vulture droppings. The birds’ waste has accumulated on homes, vehicles, sidewalks, and driveways, such that residents have had to endure the foul smell.

The droppings are also capable of damaging surfaces over time, according to The Wall Street Journal.
