Also on the move is serial snack thief Hank the Tank – a 230kg black bear. She’s been “safely immobilized” after a series of home break-ins around California’s Lake Tahoe and moved to a dedicated bear facility “in hopes they can discontinue the negative behaviours”.

There’s a new trend among American men – Brotox. While men getting facial tweaks is a long-term trend, some outlets have pointed a plastic finger at Barbie and the shiny good looks of the film’s Kens.
