<br />
Hundreds of sheep have been painted with a bizarre 'smiley face' symbol in fields across the country.<br />
<br />
The strange image has sparked debate on social networking sites after it was first reported on 20 animals in a field in Melton Mowbray, in Leicestershire.<br />
<br />
There have since been sightings in a further five fields across the UK, including Perthshire in Scotland, and 500 miles south in Exeter, Devon.<br />

There are now more than 100 sheep believed to have been marked in this way<br />

<br />
And people have taken to Twitter to share pictures of the unexplained phenomenon, using the hashtag #creepysheep.<br />
<br />
Many are questioning how the eerie symbol came to be etched on the animals - with some talking of 'supernatural powers' and 'UFOs'. <br />
<br />
Even farmers appear baffled, with one saying: 'It is like crop circles - but on sheep.'<br />
<br />
The symbol appears to have been painted on both sides of randomly chosen animals at each of the affected farms.<br />
<br />
It looks like a smiley face, with two spiralling eyes and a long, connecting, mouth.<br />

<br />
More than 100 sheep are thought to have been targeted in total.<br />
<br />
Farmer Ros Turner, whose sheep have been 'tagged' in Melton Mowbray, said: 'Passing motorists and walkers have had to double take.<br />

'They can't quite believe what they are seeing and I've had a few people stop me and ask what is going on.<br />

<br />
'They seem to think it is some supernatural power or the work of passing aliens or UFOs.<br />

'It's like crop circles - but on sheep.<br />
<br />
'The animals do not seem to have been affected in any way. They are still grazing and going about their day to day lives in the usual way.'<br />

Ellie Stokeld, another affected farmer, from Great Ayton, near Middlesborough, said: 'The symbol looks bizarre but it makes a nice change to the sheeps' usual plain white coats.'<br />

'You can't help but laugh when you see the sheep in the field with the smiley faces on the side.'<br />

Newborn monkey gives a painful looking tug on mum but he's just too cute for her to be crossBy Sara Malm<br />
<br />
<br />
With big brown eyes wide open, newborn macaques discover the world around them in their first days on earth in Bali, Indonesia. <br />
<br />
Living with their mothers in a sanctuary known as the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, they play up in front of the cameras making faces and striking poses worthy of a Vogue model. <br />
<br />
One youngster is particularly brave, putting up his little fists in defence of the piece of wood he has turned into a plaything.<br />
<br />

<br />
The picture perfect primates provided an ideal photo opportunity for photographer Natalia Paklina who shot some of the newborns while on holiday in Bali. <br />
<br />
Ms Paklina, 52, said: ‘It was really interesting to watch these monkeys.<br />
<br />
‘Usually their life is hidden under the tropic forest canopy. And here there is a unique possibility to watch and photograph them from a short distance.<br />
<br />
‘Monkeys are absolutely free and wild but at the same time they are not afraid of people at all.'<br />

<br />
The Sacred Monkey Forest is currently home to over 600 Balinese long-tailed macaques living in four troops across the tourist attraction<br />
<br />
The infants are completely black during their first six months, after which they slowly turn to grey until they are about 12 months old.<br />
<br />
Males are considered adult at the age of five and sport characteristic ‘moustache’ facial hair and women become adult after they give birth to their first baby.<br />

The cat who can play the shell game and guesses right EVERY TIMEBy Daily Mail Reporter<br />
<br />
<br />
A cat named Kido has a talent beyond just sleeping as his owners discovered that he is a whiz at the shell game.<br />
<br />
The Brooklyn-based cat has a knack for keeping his eyes on the prize when it comes to following the path of a bell when it is placed under metal thimbles. <br />
<br />
In a video posted to YouTube, the cat lazily watches as its owner moves three- and later, four- small metal caps around in quick succession to distract the cat and lose its focus from the one with a bell underneath. <br />
<br />

<span class ="fullpost"> <br />
In spite of the speed, Kido successfully picks the right cap each of the three times it is tested. <br />
<br />
Though it appears to be living the life right now, Kido had a much rougher life early on. <br />
<br />
According to the Facebook page that it's owners set up, Kido was abandoned twice 'by two different but equally awful families' in the cat's first six months. <br />
<br />
'When I was about to be listed on a shelter's kill-list, my parents rescued me and now I live with them happily after,' the page reads. <br />

'I can be as good as a teddy bear, but can be as bad as a heartbreaker. I am an attention seeker. I am good at getting what I want as well as getting revenge, so I can often outsmart my parents,' the Facebook page alleges.<br />

Watch puppy try (and fail) to eat an orange with hysterical resultsBy John Hutchinson<br />
<br />
<br />
Maymo the lemon beagle has delighted his fans with yet another hilarious video that has gone viral.<br />
<br />
Following on from 'lemon beagle vs lemon' and 'dog loves toy mouse', both of which had almost a million views on YouTube, the cute pooch faces another tricky challenge as he tries to eat an orange.<br />
<br />
And this offering has already been viewed nearly 200,000 times in three days since it was put on the video-sharing site.<br />

<br />
The start of the clip sees the orange begin on the table with Maymo eying up the best way to tackle the fruit.<br />
<br />
He flips it over, reaches up the table, and eventually knocks the citrus from the top and onto the floor.<br />
<br />
Then a mad scramble ensues so as to not lose out on this tricky treat as Maymo digs it out from under the shelves where it had nestled. <br />
<br />
Pawing at the orange, it seems man's best friend is weighing up his next move.<br />
<br />
He proceeds to try and pick it up in his mouth, before it falls from the canine's jaws, and spins out to another area of the property.<br />

<br />
And of course, Maymo rushes after the slippery customer.<br />
<br />
It appears as if the acidic nature of the orange is what keeps making the dog recoil, as he goes forward a number of times to snare his prey, before springing back. It is almost as if there is some kind of force-field around the fruit.<br />
<br />
Looking defeated, a tired Maymo lies down a few inches from his play thing, it's cute puppy-dog eyes sure to make the watcher feel sorry for his all-in-vain efforts.<br />
<br />
But wait. Up he springs with one final effort to defeat the foe, only to be once again held out by this invisible force-field before crashing into the camera.<br />
<br />

<br />
Almost immediately the video is cut to a shot of the hapless pooch wearing the orange as some kind of hat, his mood clearly calmer. <br />
<br />
This dog obviously let his troubles get on top of him.<br />
<br />
In a video put online in 2011, Maymo had a similar battle with a lemon, finding the acidity too much to handle as he plundered back and forth trying to eat the fruit, before skulking off.<br />
<br />
And last year his owners posted a clip of him getting grief from a wind-up mouse. <br />
<br />
Again it appears as if there is a force-field around the pretend rodent as Maymo tries to look his jaws around the plastic.<br />
<br />
As the wind runs out on the mouse, the dog settle back down, tired out by his frantic efforts.<br />
<br />
Maymo's popularity has risen which has led to him having his own Facebook page, which has over 3,000 likes.<br />

Watch puppy try (and fail) to eat an orange with hysterical resultsBy John Hutchinson<br />
<br />
<br />
Maymo the lemon beagle has delighted his fans with yet another hilarious video that has gone viral.<br />
<br />
Following on from 'lemon beagle vs lemon' and 'dog loves toy mouse', both of which had almost a million views on YouTube, the cute pooch faces another tricky challenge as he tries to eat an orange.<br />
<br />
And this offering has already been viewed nearly 200,000 times in three days since it was put on the video-sharing site.<br />

<br />
The start of the clip sees the orange begin on the table with Maymo eying up the best way to tackle the fruit.<br />
<br />
He flips it over, reaches up the table, and eventually knocks the citrus from the top and onto the floor.<br />
<br />
Then a mad scramble ensues so as to not lose out on this tricky treat as Maymo digs it out from under the shelves where it had nestled. <br />
<br />
Pawing at the orange, it seems man's best friend is weighing up his next move.<br />
<br />
He proceeds to try and pick it up in his mouth, before it falls from the canine's jaws, and spins out to another area of the property.<br />

<br />
And of course, Maymo rushes after the slippery customer.<br />
<br />
It appears as if the acidic nature of the orange is what keeps making the dog recoil, as he goes forward a number of times to snare his prey, before springing back. It is almost as if there is some kind of force-field around the fruit.<br />
<br />
Looking defeated, a tired Maymo lies down a few inches from his play thing, it's cute puppy-dog eyes sure to make the watcher feel sorry for his all-in-vain efforts.<br />
<br />
But wait. Up he springs with one final effort to defeat the foe, only to be once again held out by this invisible force-field before crashing into the camera.<br />
<br />

<br />
Almost immediately the video is cut to a shot of the hapless pooch wearing the orange as some kind of hat, his mood clearly calmer. <br />
<br />
This dog obviously let his troubles get on top of him.<br />
<br />
In a video put online in 2011, Maymo had a similar battle with a lemon, finding the acidity too much to handle as he plundered back and forth trying to eat the fruit, before skulking off.<br />
<br />
And last year his owners posted a clip of him getting grief from a wind-up mouse. <br />
<br />
Again it appears as if there is a force-field around the pretend rodent as Maymo tries to look his jaws around the plastic.<br />
<br />
As the wind runs out on the mouse, the dog settle back down, tired out by his frantic efforts.<br />
<br />
Maymo's popularity has risen which has led to him having his own Facebook page, which has over 3,000 likes.<br />
<br />

-Playmate LeLe unimpressed and chews bamboo instead<br />
<br />
By Steve Robson<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the most successful Youtube video of all time, now even giant pandas are doing their own version of the famous Gangnam dance.<br />
<br />
Zoo keepers watched in amazement as Qin Chuan stood up on his hind legs and assumed a pose with an uncanny resemblance to Psy's smash hit routine. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately his playmate LeLe seemed more interested in chewing on bamboo leaves.<br />
<br />

<br />
Parodies of the Korean dance have been popping up all over the world as it recently surpassed 1 billion hits.<br />
<br />
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that those in the animal kingdom are getting in on the act. <br />
<br />
The pair of giant pandas, who moved to China's Jinbao Amusement Park in Weifang, Shandong two years ago, have been spotted copying human behaviour before.<br />
<br />
At the sight of the first snow of the year, LeLe also jumped up on his hind quarters and started running forward as if looking for a hug. <br />
<br />
This time it was Qin Chuan who, after twirling around his enclosure several times, padded off looking fairly pleased with himself.<br />
<br />
Spectators were delighted by the show and judging by this performance, Qin Chuan will be expecting the lead bear's role.<br />

-First-time mothers Nikata and Louisa seemed unimpressed<br />
-Four males and four females born at Longleat Safari park in August <br />
<br />
By Steve Robson<br />
<br />
After finally being let out to play for the first time, these impatient lion cubs couldn't wait to get rolling around the dirt with a playful game of stuck in the mud.<br />
<br />
The eight cubs - four males and four females - were born in August but they had not been allowed to join the rest of the pride at Longleat Safari and Adventure Park in Wiltshire until now.<br />
<br />

<br />
Keepers say both the first-time mothers have been very attentive to their offspring, although they are less patient when it comes to humans.<br />
<br />
'Nikata and Louisa don't seem to have any problem joining in the rough and tumble games with their cubs,' said keeper Bob Trollope. <br />
<br />
'However, they are extremely protective and are nowhere near as accommodating with us.'<br />
<br />
Within minutes of being released, the cubs were covered in mud and leaves and were taking it in turns to try to balance their way along a slippery fallen tree trunk.<br />
<br />
Several of the braver individuals even began perfecting their ambush skills on their mother, although they were rather more cautious when father Hugo came over to say hello.<br />
<br />
'Both mums have four cubs, with two of each sex, and Hugo is also a first-time father. However, he is considerably less interested in the youngsters and soon went back to what male lions do best - sleeping,' said Mr Trollope.<br />

<br />
Longleat is famed for its lions, which are kept in two separate prides, but this is the first time the 'woodland' pride has had cubs.<br />
<br />
At birth, the cubs weighed just 2lb but now tip the scales at 18lb.<br />
<br />
Male lions usually reach their full size by the age of two, while females will be about three years old before they are fully grown.<br />
<br />
Adult lions can weigh up to 440lb and grow to lengths in excess of 10ft.<br />

Growing up in Surrey Mr Taylor said he was surrounded by some very unusual animals his mother used to photograph.<br />

Mr Taylor, 48, who together with dad Kim Taylor run the family firm Warren Photographic, in Guildford, said continuing his mother's work was a lovely experience.<br />
<br />
He said: 'Growing up in Albury in Surrey as a child we used to have a tame fox, a badger, an iguana and even a type of crocodile called a caiman. The kids would love to come to our house because it was like a zoo.<br />

This little donkey is plodding on towards Christmas after taking zookeepers by surprise when he was born premature.<br />
<br />
Worried staff at Berg Zoo in Halle, east Germany, kept a round the clock vigil for two days when Nikolaus was born weighing just 8.3kg.<br />
<br />
But after plenty of love, attention and bottle feeding, the foal pulled through and became strong enough to join his mother in her stables.<br />

<br />
Nikolaus was born just minutes after midnight on December 4, with donkeys born before 11 months considered premature.<br />

His arrival came as many Germans were preparing to celebrate St Nicholas of Myra two days later. <br />
<br />
St Nicholas was a Greek Christian bishop who became a patron saint of children, sailors, merchants and students, and is widely accepted as the primary inspiration for Father Christmas.<br />
<br />
He lived during the lived during the 3rd Century and became known for his generosity and secretly giving gifts to children.<br />

Cute dogs, lizards and horses dress up just like Father Christmas (but they don't exactly seem thrilled) By Becky Evans<br />
<br />
<br />
Forget Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, dogs dressed as Father Christmas are just as cute. <br />
<br />
And who needs Little Donkey, when you have the Holiday Horse. <br />
<br />
As these adorable pictures show, cats and dogs, lizards, rabbits, horses and even goats can get just as festive as their owners. <br />

The animals have been given a Yuletide makeover - although some do not seem thrilled with the transformation. <br />
<br />
A French bulldog looks forlorn in its Christmas outfit, while another dog looks suspiciously at the camera from under its over sized Santa hat. <br />
<br />
A horse also seems bemused as he is forced to embrace the festivities in some seasonal headwear. <br />

Although the most fashion fur-wood dogs seem to enjoy the attention. <br />

<br />
A pony perplexing German commuters on the subway has become the latest internet sensation.<br />
<br />
A YouTube video of the brown Shetland pony's antics on Berlin's S-Bahn - an overground subway similar to London's Tube - has been watched nearly a quarter of a million times since it was posted on Thursday.<br />
<br />
A mystery blonde woman, in her twenties, can be seen nonchalantly leading her horse on to the train.<br />

<br />
Passenger Jarkko Riihimaki said: 'This was supposed to be a normal trip home with the S-Bahn.<br />

'After one stop, a girl - pretty conventional looking - comes in with a pony. Yes, with a pony!<br />

<br />
A S-Bahn spokesman failed to see the funny side of the incident, saying the horsey passenger clearly violated its travel policy.<br />
<br />
Spokesman Burkhard Ahlert said: 'One may smile but according to our transport regulations, this is clearly not allowed.<br />
<br />
'This clearly violates our conditions of carriage.<br />
<br />
'A horse can be dangerous. What if it escapes? The S-Bahn is no place for such animals.<br />
<br />
'We have informed the police already.'<br />
<br />
He said that it is believed that the pony belongs to a circus troupe that collects donations.<br />

Adorable video shows a baby boy giggling as dog licks his handsBy Daily Mail Reporter<br />
<br />
<br />
Rottweilers have gotten a bad reputation over the years, but one fierce-looking member of the breed was not match for a baby who ended up having the last laugh. <br />
<br />
A heart-warming video posted on YouTube shows a little boy named Dylan, who was six months old at the time, having a laugh attack when confronted by the family dog, a large Rottweiler named Brodie.<br />
<br />
In the 48-second video uploaded by Dylan’s mother, the pooch towering over the baby lying on the floor begins licking his little hand, sending Dylan into a laugh fit.<br />

<br />
It's surprising how much fun you can have with a big inflatable orange ball.<br />
<br />
Loki the European brown bear couldn't leave this buoy alone after unwrapping it at the safari park where he lives in Scotland.<br />
<br />
His first birthday also saw him unwrap Elephant dung, fruit and cake to help him savour the day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMVZ6H1K8IU_zpN0ikMlc_KOFKMb_6zH-n9ugwMk0Z0IbAUs6fPU5lpWnfPtWXowEYeF4XZ5sjFPWWdqiM9ZlCJud1Mib81say8hDtlBszI0POm6vd2Yr11GnmXimh_wIBuRgVcxiea6d/s1600/Bear+celebrates+first+birthday+bright+orange+ball+found+presents+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="287" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMVZ6H1K8IU_zpN0ikMlc_KOFKMb_6zH-n9ugwMk0Z0IbAUs6fPU5lpWnfPtWXowEYeF4XZ5sjFPWWdqiM9ZlCJud1Mib81say8hDtlBszI0POm6vd2Yr11GnmXimh_wIBuRgVcxiea6d/s400/Bear+celebrates+first+birthday+bright+orange+ball+found+presents+1.jpg" /></a></div>Playful: Loki the one year old European brown bear celebrates at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling<br />
<span class ="fullpost"> <br />
Loki had a great time sniffing and bursting boxes which staff filled with his favourite treats and nutrients.<br />
<br />
The young bear was helped by his eight-year-old mother Nellie to open the presents and eat a fruit loaf cake baked in the shape of a number one and decorated with dog biscuits, Loki's favourite snack<br />
<br />
The one-year-old, born in Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling, was particular taken with a buoy he found in one of the boxes staff wrapped with happy-birthday paper. <br />
<br />
He tossed the orange ball around his enclosure until it broke and as he explored inside, managed to get his head stuck in it.<br />
<br />
Loki's head keeper Vicky Kydd said: 'We filled big cardboard boxes with lots of his favourite enrichment materials and treat bits which included pine wood shavings, elephant dung, balls and old tyres.<br />
<br />

<br />
'The bears love rolling around in the dung and the wood shavings and it helps them to groom and maintain their coats, particularly over winter.<br />
<br />
'We also filled enrichment balls with his favourite treats and Loki had a great time opening his presents.<br />
<br />
'I think Nellie was a little bit jealous because they are her favourite treats as well so she was right in there helping Loki open the boxes and I think she stole a few of the presents.'<br />

Loki was named after the Norse god of mischief and weighed just 1kg when born last year. He now ways around 100kg and can continue to grow to as heavy as 450kg, around 70st, and live for around 30 years.<br />
<br />
His father, Bull, moved to Olmense Zoo in Belgium earlier this year, as the bears only come together for breeding and the male plays no part in raising cubs.<br />
<br />
Blair Drummond manager Gary Gilmour said the feast of treats will help the bears as they prepare to hibernate.<br />
<br />
'Although the bears are less active now and are eating less food, both Loki and mum Nellie made short work of the cake. Honey, nuts and dog biscuit cake is a really good treat but is also good for healthy growth, producing a nice thick winter coat and winter fat storage.<br />
<br />
'Loki will run off any excess fat in the spring. He is so playful and an absolute joy to watch in his enclosure.'<br />
<br />
Blair Drummond is closed for winter and reopens in March.<br />

<br />
<br />
It’s fun playing in the snow. But it’s even more fun when you have something big and warm to snuggle up to. <br />
<br />
For these two boisterous polar bear cubs, that big warm something came in the form of mum.<br />
<br />
Not only did she give them a ride on her back but she also let them use her as a blanket as they settled down in the snow.<br />
<br />

<br />
One lucky cub even got to shelter between her forearms as she gazed out across the white wastes of the Waspusk National Park in Canada in temperatures of -20C, captured in these images by photographer Keren Su.<br />
<br />
But like any mother, she also found that when she fancied a rest herself, the little ones were determined to keep her awake to play.<br />
<br />
Photographer, Keren Su, captured the scene during an expedition.<br />
<br />
Mr Su, from Redmond, Washington, endured temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius in a bid to get the delightful shots but admitted sightings of polar bear cubs was never guaranteed.<br />
<br />
He said: 'It is a paradise for the polar bears but not for human beings. We had been taking our chances for days and found nothing.<br />
<br />
'I was there on a very clear mission to get photos of the polar bear cubs. I believe that the beauty of nature is always hidden in the remote areas difficult to access.<br />

<br />
'The young cubs need rest after walking for a certain amount of time, so the mother bear had to find a place safe enough for them to relax.<br />
<br />
'The mother nursed the young cubs one by one. Then she licked their bodies, especially the stomach to help with their digestion.<br />
<br />
'When the mother bear got tired, she needed rest but by that time the cubs seemed to get more energy.<br />
<br />
'In one photo, it is as if one cub was telling the other to be quiet because mum needed a bit of sleep.<br />
<br />
'The cubs never left their mum very far. They always wanted to snuggle with her.<br />
<br />

Mr Su said when the team came across the cubs, they were not afraid of their human companions. <br />
<br />
'Mothers are very protective of their cubs and taking a picture is totally different from just seeing a bear.<br />

'When we found them resting, we had to let the bears accept us approaching them. Gradually they would allow us to watch them from a distance.<br />

Well-dressed monkey in a winter coat and diapers escapes car and heads to IkeaBy Daily Mail Reporter<br />
<br />
<br />
An unaccompanied monkey wearing a stylish winter coat and a diaper surprised Sunday shoppers at a Toronto Ikea.<br />
<br />
The fashionable rhesus macaque, sporting a miniature shearling jacket, was first spotted in the parking lot, before roaming around and eventually being cornered inside the store.<br />
<br />
Police believe that the pet had been in a car before escaping from both a crate and the vehicle to look around Ikea. Canadian police said: 'It's a smart monkey.'<br />

Impala's unconventional accessorising using two birds instead of jewelleryBy Sara Malm<br />
<br />
<br />
This impala is looking mighty proud showing off it’s unconventional ‘earrings’, in the shape of two oxpecker birds.<br />
<br />
But the fashion forward move, spotted in Kruger National Park, South Africa, was not just down to the bird’s brightly coloured beaks.<br />
<br />
The red-billed oxpecker and the mammals roaming the sub-Saharan plains have a mutually benefiting relationship where the birds feed on ticks and other ectoparasites from the animals’ fur.<br />
<br />

<span class ="fullpost"> <br />
This cleans the mammals’ fur, but the birds do not stop there; they also eat earwax and dandruff and clean old wounds.<br />
<br />
The oxpeckers are completely dependent on large mammals and spend most of their lives in their pelts. <br />
<br />
A fully grown oxpecker can devour up to 100 ticks and 12,000 tick larvae a day.<br />
Aside from providing the birds with parasites and other treats, the mammals’ fur provides building material for their nests. <br />

Among the special moments captured on camera, John has recorded numerous play-fights and a failed attempt to escape.<br />
<br />
He said: 'Originally, the Kitten Cam was just so that I could keep an eye on the kittens and see how they're behaving without a human in the room. <br />
<br />
'But then I got to thinking that why not make the Kitten Cam available for anyone to watch at any time?'<br />
<br />
'The first incarnation of the Kitten Cam came online October 2011 on Livestream's original service using a free account,' said John.<br />

'On the flip side, I've also been told by many viewers that they've had a hard time studying for tests, falling behind on their TV shows, and staying up way too late, because the kittens are playing.'<br />

Meet Charlie the boxer dog with a thousand hilarious faces who LOVES to play fetchBy Nina Golgowski<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of the greatest pleasures in life can often be the simplest.<br />
<br />
As easily seen in Charlie the dog's case, they can come in the form of a small, orange ball.<br />
<br />
Photographed leaping, bounding, but most notably gurning with dopey pleasure, this two-year-old boxer's hilarious enthusiasm to catch his slippery chew toy is remarkably captured in his larger-than-life face.<br />
<br />

<br />
Tearing across a Washington state beach wearing his heart on his collar, Charlie's floppy jowls exposing chomping teeth make him at times appear as a gravity-defying extra-terrestrial predator.<br />
<br />
In other moments, he's back to the squishy-faced pup with a harmless, demeanour - so long as you finally throw that bright orange ball.<br />
<br />
'Charlie is a ball fanatic. If you offer him a treat or a ball he goes for the ball.<br />
That is his best reward,' his owner and professional photographer Rick Ehrenberg said of his best friend in Ocean Shores.<br />
<br />
Chasing his toy like a well-oiled machine the adorable gold and white dog is absolutely seen as though he could love, think and dream about nothing better.<br />

<br />
Frequently captured with all outstretched toes flying through the air, the dog's graceful and athletic body is sky-high while lunging for his target.<br />
<br />
Once it's captured, he slinks across the sand like a proud lion, his delight still easily captured in his twinkling eyes and pointed - albeit stubby - tail.<br />

These playful penguins make sliding down a steep iceberg and torpedoing into the icy water look like an easy, graceful task.<br />
<br />
The Adelie penguins were captured on camera diving headlong into the water in Antarctica after building up speed sliding down the icy slope of an iceberg.<br />
<br />
At this time of the year, hundreds of Adelie penguins set up camp in Antarctica and make regular trips back into the water to catch food for their young - making sure to avoid predators in the process.<br />
<br />

<span class ="fullpost"> <br />
Wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas captured the moments on camera from a nearby boat.<br />
<br />
The California-based photographer said: ‘We spent more than eight hours circling the icebergs over and over again.<br />
<br />
‘Penguins do congregate on these icebergs often, but we were lucky to see unusually large numbers in a beautiful light. <br />
<br />
‘It was a glorious day and I was over the moon.’<br />
<br />
The 36-year-old took more than 3,000 shots on her expedition.<br />
<br />
During December and January, female Adelies lay up to two eggs and the parents take it in turns to incubate them. One stays with the eggs, keeping them safe and warm, while the other heads out to sea to hunt for krill, fish and squid. <br />

<br />
The penguins are the only breed to raise their young so far south.<br />
<br />
When the chicks are about nine-weeks-old and their downy feathers have been replaced with adult, waterproof ones, they travel out to sea and starting hunting for themselves.<br />
<br />
Researchers have found that populations of Adelie penguins in the West Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Sea have fallen by 50 per cent in the last 30 years.<br />
<br />
Theories for the decline include a huge reduction in numbers of the penguins’ main prey, shrimp-like krill, and rising temperatures which would lead to less sea ice in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica and fewer nesting sites and feeding grounds for penguins.<br />

Clumsy mallard's slapstick antics after spotting reflection of itself in frozen pondBy Daily Mail Reporter<br />
<br />
<br />
This clumsy duck came over all of a flutter when he spotted a mirror image of himself reflecting back off the surface of the water.<br />
<br />
He was so stunned by what he saw that he lost his balance, performed an impressive version of the splits and was sent sliding across the surface of the water.<br />
<br />
German photographer Dr Udo Schlottmann was on hand to snap the startled duck trying to reach his lady on the other side of the pond near his home in Dortmund, Germany.<br />
<br />

<span class ="fullpost"> <br />
The icy surface of the pond formed a challenging runway for the mallard to make his way across the water. <br />
<br />
Displaying a beautiful emerald head, the duck's first few steps were taken carefully and the shocked look on its face was enough to rustle a few feathers.<br />
<br />
Udo, 68, took up photography eight years ago when he retired from his career as a doctor and was thrilled to be able to capture the funny moment when he was out for a lunch time stroll.<br />

Adorable video of kitten giving his feline friend the purrfect massageBy Daily Mail Reporter<br />
<br />
<br />
Kneading those tiny paws in and out of a feline friend's backside, this adorable video captures a cat giving another cat a message.<br />
<br />
Stretching out, the white and black cat flicks his tail with pleasure as his friend gets to work on his lower back, pushing every little claw into his thick coat.<br />
<br />
The striped black and brown masseuse takes a few moments to turn and look at his friend's reaction to his efforts, before lazily sliding its paws toward his belly.<br />

Just like humans, such kinds of kneading are good for the cat's muscles and joints according to cat experts.<br />
<br />
It's also believed to strengthen bonds of love and trust between them.<br />

<br />
<br />
As they huddle together battling bitterly cold winds, a mother penguin reaches down and pecks her tiny fluffy chick on the head.<br />
<br />
The adorable scene was captured by wildlife photographer Thorsten Milse on Snow Hill Island, Antarctica.<br />
<br />
In another cute shot, the fluffy chick peers out from under his mothers' body - looking straight down the photographers lens.<br />

The playful chick then scuttled off to dance around with friends on the ice. <br />

The penguins - part of a huge emperor penguin clan - also huddled together to help shield their young from the bitter wind chills which can reach minus 76 degree Fahrenheit.<br />
<br />
In the wild, Emperor Penguins typically live for 20 years, but some records indicate a maximum lifespan of around 40.<br />

<br />
Emperor Penguins eat mainly crustaceans such as krill but also occasionally indulge in small fish and squid.<br />
<br />
They were the stars of 2006 film Happy Feet which featured the birds.<br />
<br />
They are excellent swimmers but on land they either shuffle along or slide about on their bellies. <br />
<br />
Standing over a metre tall they are the largest in the family, but endure the worst breeding conditions of any bird. <br />

<br />
In March they travel to nesting sites where there is strong competition between the females for a mate. <br />
<br />
After a single egg is laid the females return to the sea for some nourishment, leaving the males to incubate the eggs. <br />
<br />
The females return only when the chicks begin to hatch. <br />
