NATURE at work.
Some zoo visitors may be
excused for thinking that zoo
animals are just a few steps from
tame, with their relaxed attitudes
towards humans, however one
lioness in a US zoo has proved
that you can take the lion out of
the wild, but never the wild out
of the lion.
The four-year old lioness, Kya,
was caught on film trying
desperately to get at a toddler
who was wearing a zebra-like
white and black striped outfit and
was sitting on the other side of
her glass cage.
The toddler is oblivious to the
fact that Kya is not trying to play
nice, calling her “kitty kitty” as
Kya tries to claw her way through
the glass.
“We were not worried,” said the
toddler’s mother who filmed the
interaction, adding “We thought
it was hilarious.”
“We didn’t even realise he
looked like a zebra until we got
home but a lot of the animals in
the zoo - the crocodiles and the
jaguars - apparently did, they
would come up to the glass and
look at him,” the mother added.

IT’S a bird, it’s a plane, no...it’s
Jetman.
Jetpacks are one step closer to
becoming a reality for the
common man, following the flight
of Jetman in Rio de Janerio.
Jetman (aka Yves Rossy), a Swiss
daredevil and former fighter pilot,
flew across the iconic Rio skyline
for 11 minutes and 35 seconds,
after dropping out of a helicopter.
After falling from the chopper
Rossy flicked a switch on his
carbon-kevlar Jetwing suit which
then activated its four engines
which engaged and kept him
moving through the air at around
305kms/hr.
Jetman’s suit also enabled him
to use his arms, legs and
shoulders to steer, pitch and
descend.
