Inventor Marek Baczynski demonstrates his latest wacky creation that will nevertheless have you screaming ‘Shut up and take my money!’

The moment has finally arrived, where wildlife expert Coyote Peterson has fulfilled his quest to work his way up the insect sting pain index until he reaches the bullet ant.

We live in uncertain times, this much is certain. Times when no one it seems—not politicians, not your neighbour, not even your know-it-all work colleague—knows what Britain leaving the European Union will actually mean.

International animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS carried out research on 42 classified ad sites and found evidence of sites offering illegally imported puppies, banned breeds, and endangered and wild caught species.
Coyote Peterson hosts nature web show Breaking Trail and he was in Costa Rica’s remote Osa Peninsula at night looking for reptiles and amphibians, when an ocelot attacked! Kind of.
