This Namaqua Rain Frog puffs up like a blowfish and squeals to scare away its predators. Unfortunately, the same behaviour attracts millions of humans keen to squeeze the cheek of this puffy little amphibian.

Not to be outdone by Cape Town local, Dec’io Lourenc’o in the huge balls department, Sverre Liliequist backflipped on to an avalanche while skiing down the face of a mountain. Just because, you know.
