Two Bengal tiger cubs are seen breast-fed by a woman at the capital's only zoo in Yangon, Myanmar.

The two Bengal tiger cubs, taken from their mother after she killed one of their siblings and refused to nurse them, that were breast-fed by a woman for nearly six weeks have died of dehydration on April 27, and on May 3.

As this tricycle moves faster the rear wheels come together and the bike becomes a bicycle. It has been developed as an alternative to training wheels for people learning to ride a bike.

And as someone currently teaching their daughter to ride a bicycle I could use one of these - running along holding someone up gets tiring pretty quick!

The A380 takes off on its maiden flight . 

The double-decker A380, designed to carry 555 passengers but with room for more than 800, touched down smoothly almost four hours after soaring into sunny skies on its maiden flight above Airbus headquarters near Toulouse in southern France.

The pilots took no chances, donning parachutes, and a special escape hatch was installed.

The Belgian chocolate producer "Guylian" made this chocolate egg with at least 50,000 bars on behalf of the city of St. Niklaas.

The egg measured 8.32 metres high and beats the record of Kwazulu-Natal in South-Africa in 1996. That egg was 7.65 metres high. Twenty-six craftsman worked altogether 525 hours to build the egg using 1950 kg of chocolates.

Norwegian Kjell Petter Bruun practicing Tree-Ski-Jumping somewhere in southern Norway.

The unofficial Norwegian Tree-Ski-Jumping Championships are, hopefully, being organized for the second time in the Hallingskarvet wilderness area, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Oslo.The jumpers will be aiming for the trees and the higher they land in the trees, the better their scores may be. The idea is to take flight from a mound of snow, fly through the air and land in a tree. To qualify as a completed jump, the skier has to hang onto the tree without falling to the ground.

Diew, a five year-old Thai elephant, demonstrates how to use and flush a toilet at an elephant camp in Chiang Mai province, in northern Thailand. Having taught Thailand's elephants to paint, dance and play musical instruments, their Thai handlers are now toilet-training the beasts.

Maybe I'll see get to see an elephant take a dump when I'm there in a couple of months - can't wait! ;)

What I'm wondering is why the elephant isn't using a squat toilet!
