A nursing monk seal with a young pup attacked a woman in Hawaii, pulling her under water and bit her

A 60-year-old woman has been attacked by an endangered seal at Waikiki beach in Hawaii.

The monk seal was protecting its young pup when it made the attack, pulling the swimmer under the water and biting her.

Bystanders shouted from the shore saying “get out!” and “somebody call the police.”

The woman is a teacher from California. She managed to escape with the help of other beachgoers who pulled her to shore. She had bite wounds on her face, arm, and back.

The man who recorded the incident, Markus Faigle, says this is not a seal attacking a human, that’s for me the totally wrong way of looking at this.”

“It’s a mama seal that’s protecting its pup, and there happens to be a human who is at the wrong place at the wrong time,” he says.

Thankfully, the woman was able to escape with the help of other beachgoers who pulled her to shore.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
