Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bizarre sea dragons from Australia's west coast have been brought to the UK with hopes of becoming the first breeding group in the country.
Weedy and leafy sea dragons will be displayed at the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham. The close cousins of seahorses are camouflaged to blend with sea weed.
Leafies grow to 14in (35cm) long, while the weedies can grow up to 18in.
