White Lions

White Lions, not albino but white fur and blue eyes, were technically extinct in Africa.
They're considered sacred by the native tribes, but a prized trophy by big game hunters, and they were almost wiped out.
The Global White Lion Trust gathered the remaining cats and have been breeding them in captivity. Now they are ready to
release the second pride back into the wild.

Quote:

"Our team, led by Jason Tuner, has worked tirelessly to ensure the lions are ready for their reintroduction and the tagging is an important part of the process as it will help to monitor the pride's hunting behaviour." The Cubs are fitted with tracking systems under their skin so growth can be monitored.

Thought you'd seen it all did you?

In Japan, land of efficiency, someone decided square was better. Then someone decided to one-up the square with pyramidal shapes. What's next?

They are created by growing them in tempered glass boxes, (see the one below), or in the other case acrylic pyramids.

Before you run out and buy these you might want to rethink it. At $100 for a square ones and $82 for the pyramids you might want to opt for the old fashioned round one instead!!

Feel like a bath anyone..?

Potato Portraits by Ginou Choueiri

Las Papas art installation by Ginou Choueiri consists of hundreds of potato portraits that grow, live, and then eventually decay and die.
“I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms.” - Ginou Choueiri [via]
