First bionic leg implants !

Oscar the cat is the first #animal to have received two bionic leg implants. Oscar’s hind legs were accidentally chopped off in a combine harvester, and his prosthetic legs were drilled into what remained of his original legs.

The bionic legs aren’t suited for an outside environment, so Oscar is now an indoor #cat, and he’s surely grateful for his remaining eight lives.

Rare birds flock to British shores in record numbers.

Hurricanes and global warming bring unusual visitor.

Britain's avian immigration figures are set to soar to a record level this year. #Birdwatchers say hurricanes and severe weather in north America and Asia have caused major disruptions to #bird migrations across the globe and swept an unprecedented number of #species towards the British Isles.

#Birds winging their way to their #breeding grounds on the other side of the Atlantic or in the Pacific have been left stranded in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native #species.

Twitchers, as the most fanatical birdwatching enthusiasts are termed, have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever spotted in one year is 445, in 2008.

Last month a Siberian rubythroat – a tiny brown bird with a scarlet chest – was spotted outside Lerwick in Shetland. A native of east Asia, it is extremely rare in Britain, but has now spent the past two weeks at the very northern edge of the nation, caught by the cameras of twitchers who have flocked to the island.

Similarly, a #bufflehead – a small #duck with a distinctive bulbous head – was spotted in a #farm pond on the Lizard in Cornwall.

"It had been migrating south from Canada to southern United States when it was swept out into the Atlantic by a storm. It had probably travelled more than 3,000 miles, which explains why it was knackered." The bufflehead has since flown on, probably to Portugal, he added.

Albino kangaroo

A rare albino kangaroo, its startlingly white coat standing out in sharp contrast to its grey-coloured companions, has been spotted near Canberra.

According to rangers, the animal is an eastern grey kangaroo, probably female and aged around two years old.

Albinism, which is caused by a genetic mutation, is extremely rare in kangaroos, similar to other species. 

The tallest horse in the world !

Poe, Clydesdale #horse #breed is the tallest #horse in the world, according to owner Shereen Thompson.

Poe weighs 1.5 tons, has a height of over 3 meters high head.

The owner, who owns a #farm in Upperville, Ontario, wants this to be confirmed by Guinness World Records.

Most Expensive Dog In The World !

Worlds Most Expensive Dog is the Red Tibetan Mastiff which was recently sold at a staggering price of $1.5 million.

Big Splash, or Hong Dong in Chinese, was bought by a coal baron from the north of China. 

The Tibetan Mastiff is one of the most costly dogs that you can take home as a pet.In addition to being very expensive, it is also one of the largest dog breeds worldwide. The largest of their breed has been reported to stand more than 32 inches tall, with a weight of over 150 lbs. These #dogs come in varying colors, including black, brown, red and gray. Pure white Tibetan Mastiffs have also been reported, but they are extremely rare.

Unlike many other #breeds, these extremely expensive #dogs are known for not having the same unpleasant odor that many #dog owners encounter. In fact, they have long since been respected as guardians of #farm #animals.
