Submarine on the beach

In what could be the rarest of sights, a huge Russian nuclear submarine was seen cruising past a beach in Severodvinsk, Russia, with hundreds of onlookers, on a clear sunny day. It must have been quite a sight!

I found a video on Youtube and it's possible that both the pictures above and the video below were of the same Russian submarine.

Goats in trees

You have probably seen goats climbing mountains and impossible cliffs, but have you seen goats on top of trees? The following pictures originate from South-West Morocco, where the goats climb the Argan trees to eat argo nuts used by Moroccans to extract oil. In drought-ridden conditions when there is little else to eat, goats often climb up a variety of trees in search of food.

Now imagine how big an image would be if we were to view it life sized. This is exactly what WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society has done. They have put up a life sized picture of the blue whale on their website. The photo is so big that it comes with a navigation system to help you know which part of the whale body you are viewing. See it here.
