Horsepower hike.
Miniature horses create special
problems when you need to
transport them - so a German
woman found when her 60cm
four year old Argentinian Falabella
miniature stallion called Sammy
seemed rather “lost” in a normal
horse float.
Her solution? Strap him into the
boot of her smart car.
According to Orange News,
frequent police stops have all
been successfully negotiated as
they see that Sammy is securely
strapped in and is in fact safer
than he would be in a large horse
float trailer.
Hugely clumsy.
Recognised as highly intelligent
and one of the few animals with
self-awareness, elephants usually
command considerable respect,
but not this time.
According to the UK’s Telegraph,
Ross Couper, a field guide at
Singita Kruger National Park in
South Africa, and his clients,
were witness to a number of the
gargantuan beasts performing less
than majestic stunts following a
binge session on ripened marula
fruit.
Apparently the South African
wild fruit has an intoxicating effect
on animals.
“We watched in awe because
the youngsters definitely seemed
to display signs of being rather
tipsy,” said Couper.
Cute furry little ... billboard?
Known for its controversial style
of marketing, New Zealand pizza
chain Hells Pizza signalled the
arrival of Easter not only with a
billboard made from actual rabbit
pelts - 550 of them according to
iol news - but by also including a
rabbit pizza on the menu.
While upsetting many locals,
sales soared as the pizzas hopped
out the door, delighting farmers
for whom the furry little fellows
are actually recognised as a pest.
Incidentally, Hells Pizza has the
tag line, ‘Go to Hell’.
