HILARIOUSLY UPSET CATS IN FRUIT HELMETS

In just another example of how people can be both incredibly stupid and incredibly genius at the same time, we bring you this collection of photos.

Cute Japanese Macaque Photos

Japanese macaques are the most northerly-living non-human primates. In the forested and mountainous, region of Japan where they're found, some populations have been known to bathe in hot springs during the freezing winters and swim during the sweltering summer heat. Japanese macaques have become famous for washing their food in saltwater before they eat it, both cleaning it and enhancing the taste. This skill has spread through the population and down the generations. For fun these macaques make snowballs, just like us.

Cute Blind Baby Rhino

Fans of Sir David Attenborough’s latest BBC series, Africa, should savour the last beautifully crafted episode this week.It’s an endangered species. The veteran natural history presenter has decided that the programme, four years in the making, will be the last of its kind.

At 86, Sir David intends to focus his energy on smaller TV projects with a faster turnaround. But don’t, for heaven’s sake, suggest that he might be retiring.

“In four years’ time, I shall be 90. I can’t believe it myself. But if I was the BBC, I wouldn’t hire me,” he laughs.

“I’ll perhaps just do shorter projects now, I think that would be sensible, don’t you? But I’m not giving up. As long as I can stand up and read words – and people want me to do things – I’ll carry on. Why would I want to sit dribbling and gazing into the future?”
