Paris hires Sheep to do the Lawn Mowing
Sheep hanging out in front of the Eiffel Tower? It’s not that unlikely. A group of sheep have already begun tending the lawns as the city’s newest lawnmowers in a field beside Paris’ Municipal Archives in the 19th arrondissement. Dubbed “eco-grazing”, if the project is a success, more sheep will be brought in to ”mow” the grass [...]
The Homeless Dogs that Learned to Drive
For those of you learning to drive, it might sting a little to know that dogs have beaten you to it… Three rescue dogs in New Zealand, Porter, a ten-month old beardie cross, Monty, an 18-month-old schnauzer cross, and Ginny, a one-year-old beardie whippet, have learned to drive … (stick). In under eight weeks, the homeless [...]
CATS vs DOGS: Who is the better Roommate?

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! The Daredevil Petting Zoo

A Guide to Sheep Pageantry in Senegal
You might think this sounds a little odd but sheep pageantry is in fact not all that different to the dog and cat shows we put on in the western world. In Senegal, sheep and rams are like pets. In 8 households out of 10 in Senegal, there are live-in sheep and rams because it’s [...]

Before Google Earth: Camera Pigeons c. 1908
In 1908 Dr Julius Neubronner patented a miniature pigeon camera activated by a timing mechanism. The invention brought him international notability after he presented it at international expositions in Dresden, Frankfurt and Paris in 1909–1911. Spectators in Dresden could watch the arrival of the camera-equipped carrier pigeons, and the photos were immediately developed and turned [...]
