Bleary-eyed Capetonians spent much of last night aiding firefighters around the peninsula as flames threatened their houses and wind conditions helped the blaze spiral out of control.
America was on red alert yesterday, all because of two llamas. This will absolutely make getting out of bed today worth it.
Mother Nature really does have the ability to knock our socks right off from time to time. Not only does this sunset deliver but a few whales sneak past in the foreground…good work mama bear.
You’ve heard of the woolly mammoth but have you heard of the woolly rhinoceros? Don’t worry, neither had we until this guy was found in Siberia.
It’s sad when the good guys fall, especially when they have hearts of gold and wouldn’t hurt a fly, and especially when they even got to be on Ellen.
Dog owners take dog shows seriously. Like, reeeeeeally seriously. Take this one for example – it’s held at Madison Square Garden. That’s where international musicians headline.

The queen of quirky has outdone herself again. Helena Bonham Carter has gone up close and personal with a fishy friend in a series of rather weird photos.
Spain loves its bull festivals. This one, the Carnaval del Toro, got super exciting for one bull, but not so much for one American chap.
Aah, The SONA. What a great movie. It was like it was scripted. Looks like they should have taken Malema’s threats a little more seriously.
What do you get when you cross a full-grown lion trapped in a cage for most of its life with a trainer parading around in a skimpy outfit? Mufasa attacks here.
Look! It’s Bigfoot. He has been spotted once again, and this time with a whole family of little Bigfoots.
Cats give us endless pleasure. Whether it’s getting stuck into Grumpy Cat memes or just watching your own cat chase her tail, you’ve got to love them.

Please, I beg of you, don’t ever let this happen to yourself. Plan your time properly so that YOU never miss out on winning millions of moolah.
When it comes to food we kinda think it’s a case of ‘to each their own’. We must, however, draw the line at a massive banquet where a critically endangered animal is served up.
I wanted to be a firefighter when I was little. I sort of still do. The courage and generosity that exudes in every task they do is immeasurable. Just think: how many times have they saved Table Mountain?
Woooohooooo America survived Juno! oh happy wonderful days! And now they all get to have snow fights and build snowmen and call them Olaf. It’s not fair.

News coverage last year was all about the Ebola and the humans, and not enough about the other victims – the gorillas and chimps of Africa. Ebola is making them closer to extinction than we realised.
2014 was not a good year for rhino conservation, and that’s putting it mildly. Now those in the know are calling for the big guns to step in and lend a hand.
