Well, that's the long and the short of it. Now we have the worlds smallest horse, very, very, little: http://stupid-ideas.blogspot.com/2006/11/smallest-horse-world-record.html

BBC have a website with interactive books for kids (if anyone’s interested)
one example , the lion and the mouse http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/storycircle/animalstories/lionandmouse/lionandmouse_s.shtml kids interactive story

Others :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/storycircle/animalstories/

There's a stack of other stuff there, some sent in by BBC viewers. I also found a “comedy section” there (for adults), eg one about “the lighter side” of global warming …. “kicking a few laughs out of the twitching corpse of Planet Earth”

bear killed.
there is an email going round - believe me you dont want to see the rest.
The story goes that they found the remains of a hiker nearby - who was killed by the bear. Photos included horrific!
The message ? - If you're ever in Alaska - then pay em some respect I guess

I'm on the side of that bear, and this is the fish that guy was trying to nick off him. Be fair, if you'd caught one that big you'd be real annoyed: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/tags/carp/

noirua, fantastic fish. (shame not edible I take it?)
Reminds me of the Murray cod my mate caught once... so big it was gravel rashed on its belly, and sunburnt on its back... and the river was 20 foot deep there!

noirua, lol - we've already seen this one mate -
by the way - it lacks credibility surely - I can't believe that the two noses for instance are exactly equally developed
Or that there appears to be a tear duct in each end of that perfectly symmetrical eye
I'd prefer to believe that there's a split / join in the photo - right through the eye for instance.
You may be right of course. But too many tricky photographs out there.
PS . you sure you're not a maori, lol - I know a lot of places called poirua for instance

Hi 2020, You'r quite right about the pigs eye, and strangely it seems to have a Chinese look about it. Maybe Chinese pigs have wide eyes. What shape are Aussie pigs eyes?

ADVICE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH VENOMOUS JELLYFISH

Doctors are warning people not to panic if stung by venomous jellyfish, after two cases of "Irukandji Syndrome" at beaches in Western Australia's north at the weekend.

Broome's Cable Beach was closed twice, after a 21 year-old woman and a 52 year old man were stung.
Studies are continuing to confirm which jellyfish species cause the life-threatening syndrome.
Symptoms include lower back pain, breathing difficulties and a sense of "impending doom" characterised by a constant fear of death.

District Medical Officer, Dr Conrad Macrokanis, says people should obey beach closure signs and wear protective clothing.

He says an ambulance should be called as soon as the pains start, but it's important people stay calm.
"So you just pour vinegar for thirty seconds or immerse a pad or a rag in vinegar and just have it there for a minute or two. Don't use fresh water to wash it off and don't use sand to rub it off because you'll make it worse," he said.

Few treatment myths dismissed here.
