happening. >> because of that timing investigators think the bombings were linked, but they're not revealing any other possible evidence. well, the government of zimbabwe claims that a second american doctor illegally killed a lion. investigators say dr. jon seski, an obstetrician/gynecologist from pittsburgh shot a lion with a bow and arrow back in april. authorities say seski shot the big cat without approval and on land where the hunt was not allowed. seski is apparently well known in big game hunting circles and is said to have killed six elephants. over the weekend zimbabwe suspended

bad about this whole thing. he went on to finish second in the race. from the nascar track to the horse track, where american pharoah picked up right where he left off. pharoah cruising to victory yesterday in his first race since winning the triple crown in june. >> yeah, the jockey said the win was actually pretty easy. that's a direct quote. the big question is, when will he race next? his

takes the container off. this next go-round. there it is, but then the officer got the heck out of there. >> oh. >> well, of course, you can understand maybe why the officer was a little nervous about sticking around too close. the department said on its facebook page "luckily, baby skunks can't spray like adults." the officer didn't know that at the time. he just got out of there, but performed a good deed. >> i never knew that about baby skunks. >> i mean, now if you think, of course, talking about riding a wave, you usually think about somebody on a surfboard. well, robbie maddison turns that on its head. a new video showing the australian stunt rider doing this, yes, riding waves on a dirt bike. this is in tahiti. he says this was his most ambitious project ever. >> it combined his favorite things, dirt biking, surfing and stand-up jet skiing. who knew that was a thing. it took him two years to accomplish it. there are small skis on the front wheel and a propeller tire on the
