This is not a real snake. It’s a snake cake. North Star Cakes made this thing to resemble a Burmese python. While I appreciate the effort, I gotta ask — Why’d it have to be snakes? I live for cake, just like every other fat kid who’s got a lot of love to give but nowhere to put it, but I’m not thrilled about this to say the least. Neither is Indiana. Sure, he’s in the middle of dealing with bigger, better, and more adventurous things, but I’m speaking for the both of us when I say “NOT cool.” Sure, it’s not gonna stop me from eating the cake outta this bad boy, but I’m not gonna be happy about it. Oh no, I’m gonna get a tummy ache and cry in my bed while watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. What?! It makes me feel less-bad about myself!

The controversial Body Worlds creator Gunther von Hagens opens his latest anatomical exhibition at the Neunkirchen Zoo in the state of Saarland, Germany. The 'anatomical safari' contains over 100 animals in various degrees of dissection showing von Hagen's famed plastination process. Presented as a holistic and sculptural anatomical menagerie, the display features the most revered species in the animal kingdom: among them a long-lashed, freckled tall blonde—a giraffe; and two regal, husky, graceful, behemoth elephants.The animal revue posed immense technical challenges for Dr. von Hagens and his plastination team...

The Amazon River Dolphin, alternately Bufeo, Bufeo Colorado, Boto, Boto Rosa, Boutu, Nay, Tonina, or Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), is a freshwater river dolphin endemic to the Orinoco, Amazon and Araguaia/Tocantins River systems of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela.
The largest of the river dolphins, this species is not to be confused with the Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis), whose range overlaps that of theAmazon River Dolphin but is not a true river dolphin. The neck vertebrae of the Amazon River Dolphin are not fused together, and therefore the Boto is able to bend its neck in a 90 degree angle to its body, and skillfully hunt fish in the flooded forest...

Amazing old photos with unusual draught animals - in some countries horses didn’t exist and people just had to deal without them. So they used for example: zebras, ostrichs, zebroids, wild pigs, reindeers, yaks, lamas and many other species. Some picture look unreal but cool old scool stuff anyway...

Fairgoers in Melbourne, Australia have been seeing pigs fly for the past nine years during the annual Royal Melbourne Show that takes place in September. During the exhibition, pigs compete in races and diving contests to see who is top pig.
Unfortunately, each pig only competes for one season, so this is definitely her time to shine...

Tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) is a smaller specie of anteaters and are the closest related to sloths and armadillos. Owners say that the Tamandua are the ‘perfect’ anteaters; just the right size, and just the right amount of attitude.
By looking at the pictures it seems they know how special they look, and don't mind posing in sweaters and other handmade clothes. According to owners they know how to open windows, drawers, cabinets and containers and they respond to their name. The downside to owning this pet is that they like tearing things up and will use their long claws on almost anything, including your furniture. They also need to follow a very strict and diet. And lastly they come with a hefty price tag of approximately $4500. Tamanduas are very loving, but just like cats, they tend to "let you" love them...
