On 1 Dec 1941 the NZ Division ceased to participate in the battle for Libya as an organised force. Some elements of it would continue to fight, most notably 5 NZ Bde which fought on the Gazala line before being withdrawn. The remaining 3,500 men and 700 vehicles on Zaafran outside Tobruk withdrew.

While the division had been carved up, with 5 NZ bde overrun at Sidi Azeiz on 27 Nov, and 6 NZ Bde smashed outside Tobruk, it had nevertheless been the spearhead of the destruction of the Axis forces. Between its sacrifice and that of 5 S.A. Bde and 7 Spt Grp a week before, Axis forces were spent.

Chimaeras (or ghost sharks) are found at depths of up to 2,600 meters below the surface, where they hunt prey with dot-like sensory organs on their face.
Their closest relatives are sharks, but they’re also related to skates and rays.

It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

About 70% of all 1500 described bat species feed on insects and spiders, this includes all 18 UK resident bat species. However in tropical countries some bat species help to pollinate plants, including crop plants, others also spread plant/tree seeds and hence helping with reforestation.
When you think of bats, you probably don’t think of pollination - but bats are crucial pollinators, and the key to creating a certain drink! 🍸
See an (adorable) bat covered in pollen and learn why a world without bats would be a world without tequila in this week’s Surprising Science. 🦇
