A Fairytale Home In The Woods: Das Aussteigerpaar Kai und Ben lebt in ihrem umgebauten Truck in den Wäldern von British Columbia
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
**EDITORS NOTE: We cannot use her surname**
If you go into the woods of British Columbia today you could be in for a big surprise.
You might just find parked up for the night a truly magical truck with a handcrafted house built on to its back.
The International 4800, a beast of a vehicle originally made for off-road utility work, has been reborn as a whimsical, wood-fired, off-grid sanctuary.
It took five years to create after it was bought in 2013 by a woman who made the project her labour of love.
“I called it The Ugly Truckling because I always loved the story of the ugly duckling,” says the creator of the fantasy mobile home who likes to be known simply as Kai.
“I was an awkward, weird kid. Honestly, I’m an awkward, weird adult. But like the duckling, the truck started off ugly, and it grew into something I think is secretly beautiful.”
From the outside, the house truck looks like something out of a Disney dream.
Cedar shake siding wraps the entire frame, salvaged century-old windows add soul and light, and a hand-built Dutch door with curved stained glass makes the entryway look like it belongs on a woodland fairy tale set.
“When I first moved in, it didn’t have electricity, running water, or plumbing. It was just a box on wheels. I slowly built everything around me,’ says Kai, who is in her thirties.
“Now, it has most modern amenities. It’s not finished, but it’s comfortable, and its mine.
“I made that door myself. I used old glass with air bubbles in it to mimic historic pub windows. I wanted it to feel alive, like a house that evolved over time, not just something an architect plonked down.”
Inside, every inch of the 200-square-foot interior is bursting with detail and character. There’s a round window that Kai also made by hand, after discovering that buying one would cost her a whopping £3 700 ($5 000).
“I thought, ‘No way,’ so I just taught myself how to build on *** Local Caption *

Snow Down Under: Tiere im Aussie Ark Zoo in Barrington Tops erleben ihren ersten Schnee
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Animals have been seen exploring the first snowfall of the season at an Australian Zoo.
Blizzard-like weather swept through Aussie Ark in Barrington Tops, turning the conservation sanctuary into a breathtaking winter landscape.
While the snowfall wasn’t particularly deep, gusty winds and steady flurries combined to create dramatic, alpine-like conditions that persisted well into the evening. Among those unfazed by the cold were the sanctuary’s Tasmanian Devils, who seemed to thrive in the chill - a climate reminiscent of their native Tasmania.
"A dusting of snow like this is exactly what our Tasmanian Devils love, they come alive in these conditions,' said Dean Reid, Operations Manager at Aussie Ark. "Watching them explore and enjoy the snow is a special reminder of how well-adapted they are to this environment."
As the storm set in, Aussie Ark Rangers mobilised to safeguard the sanctuary’s more vulnerable inhabitants. Young, hand-raised residents like Rufous Bettong, Buttercup, and Parma Wallaby, Petey, were carefully relocated to indoor enclosures to stay warm and sheltered from the icy winds.

Each enclosure was checked, with dry straw added as needed to provide extra insulation and warmth. The response was calm and efficient, reflecting the team’s deep experience managing wildlife in Australia’s often unpredictable conditions.
The snowfall comes on the heels of severe flooding that impacted the sanctuary just weeks earlier - a powerful reminder of the ongoing environmental challenges faced in the effort to protect the country’s most threatened species.

Snow Down Under: Tiere im Aussie Ark Zoo in Barrington Tops erleben ihren ersten Schnee
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Animals have been seen exploring the first snowfall of the season at an Australian Zoo.
Blizzard-like weather swept through Aussie Ark in Barrington Tops, turning the conservation sanctuary into a breathtaking winter landscape.
While the snowfall wasn’t particularly deep, gusty winds and steady flurries combined to create dramatic, alpine-like conditions that persisted well into the evening. Among those unfazed by the cold were the sanctuary’s Tasmanian Devils, who seemed to thrive in the chill - a climate reminiscent of their native Tasmania.
"A dusting of snow like this is exactly what our Tasmanian Devils love, they come alive in these conditions,' said Dean Reid, Operations Manager at Aussie Ark. "Watching them explore and enjoy the snow is a special reminder of how well-adapted they are to this environment."
As the storm set in, Aussie Ark Rangers mobilised to safeguard the sanctuary’s more vulnerable inhabitants. Young, hand-raised residents like Rufous Bettong, Buttercup, and Parma Wallaby, Petey, were carefully relocated to indoor enclosures to stay warm and sheltered from the icy winds.

Reinliche Kerlchen: Schimpansen im Budongo Forest Reserve in Uganda benutzen Blättern als Toilettenpapier
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed them wiping their bum using leaves as a form of natural toilet paper.
The primates were observed indulging in the human-like behaviour by Dr. Elodie Freymann of the University of Oxford, first author of the article in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution and her team of researchers.
“We also documented hygiene behaviours, including the cleaning of genitals with leaves after mating and wiping the anus with leaves after defecation — practices that may help prevent infections,” she said.
That’s more than some humans manage!
The chimpanzees hygiene routine goes beyond keeping themselves clean after sex or going to the loo - as they also treat their own and others’ injuries.
Although chimpanzees elsewhere have been observed helping other community members with medical problems, the persistent presence of this behaviour in Budongo could suggest that medical care among chimpanzees is much more widespread than we realised, and not confined to care for close relatives.
Their routines could even shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medicines.
“Our research helps illuminate the evolutionary roots of human medicine and healthcare systems,” said Dr Freymann. “By documenting how chimpanzees identify and utilize medicinal plants and provide care to others, we gain insight into the cognitive and social foundations of human healthcare behaviours.”
The scientists studied two communities of chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest — Sonso and Waibira. Like all chimpanzees, members of these communities are vulnerable to injuries, whether caused by fights, accidents, or snares set by humans. About 40% of all individuals in Sonso have been seen with snare injuries.
The researchers spent four months observing each community, as well as drawing on video evidence from the Great Ape D *** Loc

The 2025 puffin count is underway on the Farne Islands as conservationists from the National Trust aim to tot them up among 200,000 seabirds.
This year The National Trust marks its 100th year of caring for the internationally important sanctuary for the 200,000 seabirds that return each summer to breed.
This year’s count is vitally important given the islands’ three seasons of closure between 2020 until 2024’s count due to Covid-19 and then bird flu.
The 28 islands are a safe haven for the birds thanks to its location 1.5 miles off the coast of Northumberland. They provide the ideal habitats for 23 species of seabirds, as well as being an important stop-off point for a host of migratory birds from long eared owls to blue throats and ring ouzels.
During the winter it is also home to a significant colony of grey seals who return each year to pup.
Seabirds that make the annual migration to breed include cliff-nesting birds such as razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes, ground nesting birds such as terns (Arctic, Common and Roseate) as well as the endangered puffins[3] who build burrows underground to lay their eggs and once hatched, to raise their ‘pufflings’.
Sophia Jackson, Area Ranger on the Farne Islands for the National Trust explains: “It appears that the increases in bird species aligns with the islands gaining increased environmental protections, firstly through designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1951 and as a Special Protected Area (SPA) in 1985.
“Significant milestones include numbers of breeding birds reaching 100,000 for the first time in 1987, with 200,000 individual seabirds returning recorded in 2005.

The 2025 puffin count is underway on the Farne Islands as conservationists from the National Trust aim to tot them up among 200,000 seabirds.
This year The National Trust marks its 100th year of caring for the internationally important sanctuary for the 200,000 seabirds that return each summer to breed.
This year’s count is vitally important given the islands’ three seasons of closure between 2020 until 2024’s count due to Covid-19 and then bird flu.
The 28 islands are a safe haven for the birds thanks to its location 1.5 miles off the coast of Northumberland. They provide the ideal habitats for 23 species of seabirds, as well as being an important stop-off point for a host of migratory birds from long eared owls to blue throats and ring ouzels.
During the winter it is also home to a significant colony of grey seals who return each year to pup.
Seabirds that make the annual migration to breed include cliff-nesting birds such as razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes, ground nesting birds such as terns (Arctic, Common and Roseate) as well as the endangered puffins[3] who build burrows underground to lay their eggs and once hatched, to raise their ‘pufflings’.
Sophia Jackson, Area Ranger on the Farne Islands for the National Trust explains: “It appears that the increases in bird species aligns with the islands gaining increased environmental protections, firstly through designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1951 and as a Special Protected Area (SPA) in 1985.
“Significant milestones include numbers of breeding birds reaching 100,000 for the first time in 1987, with 200,000 individual seabirds returning recorded in 2005.
“Looking back on the records for the different populations it is very clear how important regular monitoring of the different seabird populations has been – despite different methodologies - for informing our co **

FEATURE - Sports Car of the Century: Das legendäre 1955er Mercedes 300 SL Coupe bekommt eine detaillierte Hot Wheels Miniatur
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
The legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, which celebrated its spectacular debut at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in 1954, has been immortalised in Hot Wheels form.
Its "Gullwing" design was both beautiful and innovative – was the fastest car of its time, with a top speed of up to 250 km/h. Thanks to its lightweight construction with a space frame and iconic gullwing doors, the coupé quickly became a legend – on the road and on the racetrack.
In 1999, a jury of motoring journalists even voted it "Sports Car of the Century".
In collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, the toy manufacturer Mattel has now created a faithful replica on a scale of 1:12 – the model combines excellent design, precise finishing and accurate details. Furthermore, it includes metal parts and extra pieces for customization.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is the first model in THE PREMIUM SERIES of the new Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels product line. The most authentic replica of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on a scale of 1:12 consists of 1600 individual parts.
Designer Benoit Monterroso, in collaboration with Hot Wheels designer Craig Callum, succeeded in perfectly recreating the characteristic features of this extraordinary sports car: From the gullwing doors to the elegant bodywork and the striking front section with its imposing radiator grille.
Measuring 36 centimetres in length and 10 centimetres in height, the model features metal rear-view mirrors and a steering wheel with two spokes specially designed for Mercedes-Benz. The bonnet, boot and gullwing doors can be opened. A Hot Wheels "Signature Plate" made of metal can either be mounted on the vehicle floor or used as a key fob. Additional parts can be used to customise the model, including different wheels, headlights and radiator grille, an alternative seat, side skirts, and side exhaust pipes. A spare tyre in the boot adds a particularly realistic touch. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL building block mo *

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is the first model in THE PREMIUM SERIES of the new Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels product line. The most authentic replica of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on a scale of 1:12 consists of 1600 individual parts.
Designer Benoit Monterroso, in collaboration with Hot Wheels designer Craig Callum, succeeded in perfectly recreating the characteristic features of this extraordinary sports car: From the gullwing doors to the elegant bodywork and the striking front section with its imposing radiator grille.
Measuring 36 centimetres in length and 10 centimetres in height, the model features metal rear-view mirrors and a steering wheel with two spokes specially designed for Mercedes-Benz. The bonnet, boot and gullwing doors can be opened. A Hot Wheels "Signature Plate" made of metal can either be mounted on the vehicle floor or used as a key fob. Additional parts can be used to customise the model, including different wheels, headlights and radiator grille, an alternative seat, side skirts, and side exhaust pipes. A spare tyre in the boot adds a particularly realistic touch. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL building block mo *

FEATURE - Sports Car of the Century: Das legendäre 1955er Mercedes 300 SL Coupe bekommt eine detaillierte Hot Wheels Miniatur
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
The legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, which celebrated its spectacular debut at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in 1954, has been immortalised in Hot Wheels form.
Its "Gullwing" design was both beautiful and innovative – was the fastest car of its time, with a top speed of up to 250 km/h. Thanks to its lightweight construction with a space frame and iconic gullwing doors, the coupé quickly became a legend – on the road and on the racetrack.
