The Secretary General of the PP, Miguel Tellado, offers statements to the press during the monitoring of the election night on the occasion of the regional elections in Extremadura, at the national headquarters of the Partido Popular, on December 21, 2025, in Madrid (Spain).

China: Lost Wild Leopard Cat Raised by Domestic Cat in Sichuan

On November 24, 2025, in Liangshan, Sichuan Province, a touching wildlife encounter was captured on video. A tiny wild leopard cat cub, separated from its family, wandered into a farmer’s home and began nursing alongside domestic kittens. As the cub grew rapidly, the mother cat struggled to feed her oversized “baby.” Local forestry officials were later contacted to rescue and care for the leopard cat. Chinese viewers called it “the most adorable case of mistaken motherhood.”

Vilalba Capon Fair 2025 - Spain

Celebration of the 'Feira do Capón de Vilalba', on December 21, 2025, in Vilalba, Lugo, Galicia (Spain). It is a popular fair with more than 200 years of antiquity celebrated every year around December 21 and has international repercussion. It begins in the early hours of the day with the sale of this emblematic Christmas product, enlivened by the performance of several folk groups. The star of the fair are the "capons", chickens fed by hand with balls of cornmeal and potato dough, which during the fattening season are placed in cages called "capoeiras" to immobilize them and accelerate their fattening until the time of slaughter, the day before the fair. Capon de Villalba is a product of excellent quality, highly appreciated since the 13th century. Photo by Carlos Castro / Europa Press / ABACAPRESS.COM

Celebration of the 'Feira do Capón de Vilalba', on December 21, 2025, in Vilalba, Lugo, Galicia (Spain). It is a popular fair with more than 200 years of antiquity celebrated every year around December 21 and has international repercussion. It begins in the early hours of the day with the sale of this emblematic Christmas product, enlivened by the performance of several folk groups. The star of the fair are the "capons", chickens fed by hand with balls of cornmeal and potato dough, which during the fattening season are placed in cages called "capoeiras" to immobilize them and accelerate their fattening until the time of slaughter, the day before the fair. Capon de Villalba is a product of excellent quality, highly appreciated since the 13th century. Photo by Carlos Castro / Europa Press / ABACAPRESS.COM
