Now, For Your Amusement Here's Kama The Surfing Pig...

Yes I know we've had The Talking Horse, The Flying Dog, The Flying Tortoise, The Flying Pig and now we have Kama The Surfing Pig.
Well Kama is a pet pig who surfs the waves of Hawaii with his human Kai Holt.
Life for Kama has been a series of happy accidents. Firstly Kai found the little piglet abandoned on Bellows Beach in Oahu, then the little pig fell into Kai's family swimming pool. And started swimming. Kai figured if he could swim he could probably surf.
And he does.
And brings smiles to all those who see him.
Next week just for something different I'll feature Tipsy the tightrope walking elephant...

The World's First Ever Siting Of A Flying Dog. On New Zealand's East Cape...

It happened a few days ago at Opotiki Beach on New Zealand's famous East Cape.
Not a lot happens generally in Opotiki but this siting of this Flying Dog has certainly put it on the world stage or should that be runway.
Hamilton based biomedical student Megan Whiteley thought she was seeing things as she snapped this little dog with enormous wings.
It was all an amazing trick of perspective she says. The dog was obsessed with chasing seagulls and I zoomed in as it ran up to a sitting bird. I managed to fluke a perfectly timed photo just as the bird took off.
It's all in the timing.
The Flying Tortoise is due to touch down on the East Cape in the next few weeks...
