July 3rd, 2009

 

 

 

 

London, UK. Artist Benedict Radcliffe spent a staggering five months creating this wire-frame model of his dream Lamborghini, which is turning heads in a London hotel. The architect used 160 feet of thick wire to create the life-size model that he now hopes to sell for a staggering 40,000. Benedict, 32, spent several weeks producing complex technical drawings by hand and a further four months working full-time on the bending and welding. The creation is pictured in London, where’s it’s on display. See our copy for the full details.

Ridiculously Cute Animals - Great Photos

July 3rd, 2009

 

A baby Loggerhead Sea Turtle is held by a member of the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Wednesday, July 1, 2009 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Fla. The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Fire Department helped the sea turtle program remove 50 of the babies who had fallen into a storm drain, attracted by the lights of a nearby parking structure. The Florida Atlantic Coast is in the height of the Sea Turtle hatching and nesting season. Only one in 1,000 of the nestlings make it to adulthood. The babies will be released at night when that are less vulnerable to predators.

Otters given iced lolly treats at Southsea, Hampshire. With temperatures soaring this week an aquarium is keeping its otters cool with some specially made fish ice lollies. Asian otters Patty, Selma and Ralph were given the special iced trout as a summer treat. And they’ve certainly gone down well with the three-year-old animals - who scrabble over one another to get a bite. The lollies, on wooden sticks, contain a mixture of fresh fish and vegetables. Some of the otters have even mastered holding the lollies for a few seconds, before they slip through their claws!
