    FEATURE - Es gibt ihn wirklich: The Real Polar Express


    Guests at this rolling train hotel will be hoping not to be like meals on wheels... as it's surrounded by polar bears.

    The Tundra Lodge Rolling Hotel in Manitoba, Canada, is a custom rolling getaway where guests can enjoy regular visits from the giant Arctic animals.

    Guests can stay warm from the comfort of one of 32 rooms on-board the train - which boasts a large lounge area for viewing the bears.

    But daring visitors can get up close and personal with the bears on the raised outdoor viewing gallery and are often treated to the sights of the Northern Lights.

    Every guest has their own room with a private window, and there's also an outdoor viewing area with a mesh floor where you can come even closer.

    Guests here pay up to £5,000 ($7,895) to spend three nights in the mobile hotel, which takes them into polar bear habitat at the start of the viewing season, according to the website for lodge operator Natural Habitat Adventures.

    FEATURE - Wrestling unter Wasser
    Wrestlers take their fights to a more unusual arena - by trying to defeat their opponents underwater.

    Armed with just a mask, fins and a red or yellow swimming cap, the wrestlers must try to tear off their rival's ribbon, which is tied to wrestlers' ankles, and swim to the surface.

    The unusual sport - called Aquathlon - sees wrestlers dive through rings under the water to start the combat round.

    There are three 30-second rounds in which each wrestler must try to remove the coloured 20cm ribbon from their opponent.

    Wild Konik stallions sparring, Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 08 Oct 2009
    WILD STALLIONS SHOW THEIR FIGHTING SPIRIT

    It may look like the plains of America but incredibly this rare shot of two wild stallions sparring was snapped in the English countryside.

    The two konik horses were spotted fighting on the wetlands of Wicken Fen just 10 miles away from the city of Cambridge.

    The stallions reared up and boxed with their fore legs in a sight which has rarely been seen in Britain for 4,000 years when the last herds of wild horses roamed these fields.

    The koniks, which share many characteristics of the now-extinct Tarpan, the original wild horse of Europe's forests, are one of the largest animals ever to be introduced in to the UK.

    They have been imported to help manage the 325 acre nature reserve.

    "It is a pretty amazing sight to see two Stallions fighting like this in Britain and it gets the heart racing," said Carol Laidlow, conservation grazing warden at Wicken Fen.

    "All horses would fight like this but if people have stallions they tend to keep them apart so with domestic horses this behaviour is controlled and you don't see it.

    "A lot of the time the behaviour between the stallions is just ritualistic posing, the equivalent to if you spilt someone's pint in a pub, then they will back off.

    "Sometimes the stallions are just playing and enjoying a bit of rough and tumble, but other times it could be a bachelor stallion challenging the dominant stallion.

    "It's very unusual to have herds like this in Britain and seeing ponies exhibiting their full range of behaviour is not something you get to see very often."

    Many of the males in the 50-strong herd are covered in battle scars and bites from fighting.

    But generally the ponies, which have been imported from Holland,...

    Wild Konik stallions sparring, Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 08 Oct 2009
    WILD STALLIONS SHOW THEIR FIGHTING SPIRIT

    It may look like the plains of America but incredibly this rare shot of two wild stallions sparring was snapped in the English countryside.

    The two konik horses were spotted fighting on the wetlands of Wicken Fen just 10 miles away from the city of Cambridge.

    The stallions reared up and boxed with their fore legs in a sight which has rarely been seen in Britain for 4,000 years when the last herds of wild horses roamed these fields.

    The koniks, which share many characteristics of the now-extinct Tarpan, the original wild horse of Europe's forests, are one of the largest animals ever to be introduced in to the UK.

    They have been imported to help manage the 325 acre nature reserve.
