Que loucura!
É um animal da raça Holstein Friesian, tem 1,94 mtr. de altura e 1400 quilos! Vive na Austrália. Por ser muito grande, safou-se do matadouro!
Não é o mais alto do mundo, pois o mais alto tem 2 metros e 2 centímetros, que é Bellino, que vive em Itália.
A 6ft 4in cow named Knickers has become an internet sensation. The 1,400kg (3080lb) animal is technically a steer and he’s believed to be the biggest in Australia. Knickers is a Holstein Friesian and his near record-breaking size has saved him from the slaughterhouse

This Is What A Sheep Looks Like When You Don’t Shear It For Five Years
The RSPCA believes that the sheep, who they named Chris, escaped from a farm five years ago and hasn’t been sheared since. Look at that majestic Afro.
After all was said and done, they removed 89lbs of fleece from Chris in a single sitting. That’s a world record, by the way.

Red storm clouds hang heavy over Spring Creek, Queensland, Australia. Photographer Terence West had been chasing the storm across the Southern Downs when he captured this image of the back of the storm just as the sun was going down. “It made me feel that nature was at peace after the anger of the storm,” he wrote.

Girl’s World
Photograph by Gina Waga, National Geographic Your Shot
“I captured this moment of my daughter’s reckless abandon in a suburban playground in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia,” says Gina Waga, a member of National Geographic Your Shot whose picture was recently featured in theDaily Dozen. “I chose an evening during a specific time of year, when the sunset would be enhanced by the smoke from the local canefires, creating the stunning, merging colors.”
Waga says a lower-angle composition captured her daughter’s silhouette perfectly. “It was then up to timing: teaching her how to position herself, pushing her on the swing, then getting back to the perfect spot in the overgrown grass to capture a moment of simplicity and beauty in a child’s life.”

TEDx: beatbox brilliance, with Tom Thum
O jornal The Guardian diz que este homem “parece que engoliu uma orquestra inteira”. E essa é uma definição que realmente cai muito bem para Tom Thum, o beatboxer que deixou meio mundo de queixo caído numa conferência TED em Sydney, Austrália.
Natural de Brisbane, Austrália, Thum explica que não é fácil viver do beatbox, que consiste basicamente em produzir diversos sons para criar música usando apenas a boca. Na verdade, nesta incrível performance que deixamos no vídeo abaixo, ele tem a ajuda de outras partes do corpo, como o nariz e a garganta, para produzir melodias inimagináveis.
