Across the sun-baked plains of the African savannah, elephants are bringing new meaning to life after death. At least, that’s according to the findings of a new study by an international team of researchers who examined the sites of elephant carcasses in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. These gentle grey giants — often referred to as “ecosystem engineers” — are known to shape the savannah when they’re alive, excavating waterholes, knocking down trees and consuming copious amounts of vegetation. That much, researchers knew already.

Pears come in 3,000 varieties but get two nameplates in the grocery store and a guarantee they’ll start to disintegrate somewhere between the shelf and your basket. Grapes? Red. Green. Tossed in piles to mask the mould. While other strange and beautiful fruits decay in outer-shelf purgatory alongside the organic kiwi and packaged golden berries, apples double-park in the centre of the produce aisle, tidy rows of speckled and bicoloured gems with cool names: Spartan. Northern Spy. Pink Lady. Ambrosia. Fuji. Or, if you’re the deep-cuts type: Bloody Ploughman. American Mother. Nonnetit Bastard.

Daniel Dubois underlined his status as Britain's leading heavyweight with a devastating second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley to retain his WBO title in London. The 29-year-old floored Wardley with a straight right inside the opening 20 seconds of their eagerly anticipated rematch at the O2 Arena and continued his relentless assault.

"Fabio is a great boy, coming in for the second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions from the beginning," Dubois said. "My back was against the wall the first time, this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business, which is what we did tonight.
