NO temperatures here...
European brown bears in Helsinki
Zoo, Finland, are currently being
treated to a modern snack to
keep them cool in the heat of the
Northern summer.
The snack is made from five
litres of water, frozen with
chopped nuts, fruits and juices.
Both bears and visitors are then
kept entertained for hours as the
popsicles are slowly licked away.
“It’s not only polar bears who
like to be close to ice,” said one
zoo keeper.
“These treats are a great way
to stop them getting too hot and
bring their core temperature
down,” the keeper added.
JUST like mum.
An orphaned zebra at a Chinese
zoo has refused to eat unless his
keeper wears a black and white
striped t-shirt.
The trend started when the
baby zebra caught sight of his
keeper wearing the striped shirt,
and got very excited.
Since then the zebra won’t take
his bottle without his striped
keeper companion.
PERHAPS some ginseng would have focused his mind?
A driver in Poland has ended up out of his depth after a supposed short-cut led him straight into a large body of water. Wojciech Lapinski was driving his 86 year old mother to a family function, when sick of traffic he ignored warnings and took a shortcut into a flooded tunnel. To add insult to injury, the flooding was caused by a busted sewage pipe, and landed Lapinski, his mother and his Toyota in three-feet of muddy coloured and stinky water. “It did put a bit of a dampener on the day,” Lapinski’s mother told rescuers.
