What Is a Mediterranean Recluse? Venomous Spiders Shut Down University of Michigan Library
“A misunderstanding of the situation led the library to close for two days,” a university spokeswoman said. Feb 25, 2021
Students at the University of Michigan can use their school library again after the building temporarily closed due to venomous spiders. A pest management service at the school’s Ann Arbor campus spotted three Mediterranean recluse spiders in a basement storage area, according to the Associated Press. The library reopened on Tuesday after being closed on Sunday and Monday.
University spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen told Prevention.com that the spiders were not found in any public spaces of the building and that “a misunderstanding of the situation led the library to close for two days.”

A photograph of a king penguin captured by nature photographer Yves Adams in February 2021 showed what appeared to be a brightly hued, lemon-colored penguin.
In a post published to Facebook on Feb. 18, Adams said he was unpacking gear from boats that had just landed on a remote beach on the island of South Georgia, a British territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean just north of Antarctica. The nearly 1,400-square-mile island is home to the world’s second-largest penguin, the king penguin.
In his post, Adams said that the penguin “walked up straight to our direction” in the middle of a chaotic scene filled with sea elephants, Antarctic fur seals, and thousands of other king penguins.
