SchŸtzenpanzer zerquetscht Falschparker
Drastische Warnung fŸr Falschparker: Der BŸrgermeister von Wilnius, Arturas Zuokas, fŠhrt in einer gestellten Situation mit einem SchŸtzenpanzer Ÿber einen Mercedes - der "Besitzer" des Wagens
/ 020811
[This is the moment a motorist (unnamed) discovered his mercedes car has been driven over by a frustrated mayor in an armoured vehicle because it was parked in a cycle lane. Arturas Zuokas has become infuriated with motorists parking their luxury cars illegally around the Lithuanian capital of Vilius. So the 43-year-old politician decided to demonstrate a novel approach of fighting illegally parked cars by driving over them in a Russian tank.]

Beetle under the sea, Mexico - concept
/ 200611
[Id like to be be, under the sea, in a lobsters garden with an eight ton concrete Beetle replica. OK, so the real Beatles did it with a little more tune, but thats just what a British sculptor has done under the seas near Mexico.The specially designed VW classic has compartments inside so local lobsters and fish can make their home, which can be seen in the cutaway plans. Jason deCaires-Taylor from Canterbury, Kent, has been working for years on the massive display taking shape, eight metres below the waters at the Manchones Reef, Cancun and Isla Mujeres, Mexico. He said: A life size eight ton cement replica of the classic Volkswagen beetle is the latest addition. The sculpture is designed specifically to house marine life whilst exploring the significant impact humans have had on our planets ecosystems and the subsequent affects to future generations. The VW beetle or votcho as it is known in Mexico is an iconic symbol and the classic shape was still in production until March 2003. Its rounded aerodynamic shape makes it perfectly suited to maintain stability underwater from strong currents and tropical storms.]

A rescued baby hedgehog (Betty) has been unable to find a mate because of a mystery skin condition which has left her completely bald and without spines - Foxy Lodge Rescue Centre in Norfolk - Pictured with Tonia Garner
/ 270511
[A rescued baby hedgehog will never be able to attract a mate because of a mystery skin condition which has left her completely bald and without spines.
Betty was abandoned by her family before she was found by a member of the public and handed in to staff at an animal rescue centre.
Animal experts are baffled by her mystery skin condition, which has caused the lonely hedgehog's skin to become dry and left her without any spines. Six-week-old Betty is now so scared of other hedgehogs that staff at the animal sanctuary believe she will never find a mate.
However, she cannot be returned to the wild because her lack of spines means she would be unable to defend herself against predators such as badgers and and foxes. Tonia and John Garner, 47 and 52, who run Foxy Lodge rescue centre, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, revealed Betty will endure a lonely life unless her spines return.
Mum-of-one Tonia said: 'She's healthy and everything is absolutely fine apart from she doesn't have any spines.
'It's very sad because she cannot protect herself. She rolls up in a little ball but because she doesn't have the spines she is easy meat for any predator.
'We won't let Betty be with alone with the males. She is very frightened of being near other hedgehogs and any offspring could have the same genetic condition.
'We keep her alone in an enclosure indoors and I mix almond oil and tea tree oil to put on her back sometimes because her skin can get very dry.
'We have to keep her out of the sun because she can burn up as her skin is very sensitive. We just hope the spines will return so she can have a normal life.'
Betty is being kept in her own enclosure at Foxy Lodge rescue centre and has become too scared to approach other young females.
