Yoda the 4-Eared Cat

Once in awhile, I come across pictures of mutated animals that make me go, "WTF?" The miniature horse is fine, the piglet with monkey face is not. This cat, Yoda is not too bad!

Meet Yoda, the four-eared cat. Isn't he cute? He has been adopted by Valerie and Ted Rock of Chicago, Illinois, who found him in a bar being made fun of a group of drinkers.

Yoda has become an international animal celebrity, appearing in talk shows and print media. He is said to be completely normal except for the ears. Eerie!

Meet The Fuwa Puppies

I wrote this post a little while back and set it to auto-publish but it did not work and I did not check until just now to realize that two months have passed! This news is a little stale but since it has already been written I might as well publish it.

The following are photos of five new born Boston terrier puppies that were born on 8th August, 2008. The owner, Xing Changhai, lives in Hainan Province, China.

To commemorate the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, these extremely cute puppies have been named after the five Beijing Olympic mascots, the Fuwa.

Could you tell which one is Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying or Nini? I definitely could not tell them apart!

Love Birds

My friend sent me this picture story this morning, which I understand were taken in Ukraine. Yes, it really is so touching, whether these are real photos or have been photoshopped, whether the bird’s actions were correctly interpreted.

The story goes like this, explaining the suffering of a bird after discovering that she has been fatally injured. Hr brought her food and showered her with attention, love and compassion. She died and he was shocked. He tried to move her but she would not budge.

The bird is finally aware that she is dead; he cried with adoring love. He stood beside her body and screams. The last photo shows him full of sadness and sorrow.

World's Longest

I actually came across these record breaking World's Longest animals last month with the launch of the Guinness Book of World Records 2009 but I somehow never got around to posting about these stories on my blog but as a blogger juggling multiple blogs, I beleive that it's better late than never.

The longest rabbit in the world was measured at 81.5cm in Britain this year. The humongous hopper, Amy, is the pet of Annette Edwards and belongs to the Flemish giant breed, which is known to weigh up to 8kg.

This Irish Wolfhound named Mon Ami von der Oelmuhle, has a nose-to-tail-tip length of 232cm (91.3in). That makes him roughly the length of a double bed. Bred by German Jurgen Rosner, Mon Ami is owned by Joachim and Elke Muller of Wegberg-Arsbeck, near Dusseldorf, Germany.
