August 1, 2024: Houston, Texas, USA: Temperatures are soaring in the heart of Texas, but Houston Zoo’s animals are staying cool and comfortable this summer season. California sea lions are enjoying their habitat’s pool. The water in the 372,000-gallon pool is kept at 60 degrees allowing the pinnipeds to exercise a natural behavior called ‘porpoising’ where guests can see them leap high out of the water and dive back in headfirst. Sea lions can reach bursts up to 25 mph, a behavior and speed critical to catching fish and escaping predators in the wild. (Credit Image: © Cover Images via ZUMA Press)

January 20, 1993, Boston, Massachusetts, USA: Former U.S. President JIMMY CARTER, 69, speaking about his new book, ‘Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age’ at The Boston Public Library. The memoir is the personal tale of political intrigue and social conflict during his first campaign for public office. Illuminates the origins of his commitment to human rights. Since leaving the White House he has worked to bring peace and hope to the least fortunate of our world. It has been said, without exaggeration, that Jimmy Carter is the only man ever to have used the presidency as a stepping-stone to greater service. (Credit Image: © Kenneth Martin/ZUMA Press Wire)
