FEATURE - Eichhörnchen an den eigenen Olympischen Spielen
Ready for the Olympics? These sporty squirrels certainly are.
These hilarious images are the work of animal photographer Geert Weggen.
He creates quirky scenes by placing tiny props and getting garden squirrels to interact.
The 52-year-old from Bispgarden, Sweden, explains: "For many years I did not see big sport events, but when the Euro football tournament was almost towards an end, I started to see some matches and liked it. But it was too late to do a squirrel series and so I thought that I would do an Olympic series instead, because I had about 3 weeks left for this event.
“There about 10 different squirrels, both young and old ones. To make them trust me, most of the time I move slowly and be very quiet. I show up often so that they get used to me. Also, in not giving them attention sometimes and doing other things, that can make them curious. And food helps, of course. When they understand that I am the one putting out food, the trust comes easier.
“I would say the boxing set-up is my favourite. I had this idea for years and made the props and bought the gloves many years ago, but never started to work at it I never saw this idea before in photography, and that made my choice.”

NEWS - Lkw-Unfall verschiebt Brücke um 2 Meter in Georgia, USA
PICTURE SHOWS: Georgia DOT managed to completely demolish the bridge by Friday morning.
A truck hit a bridge so hard it shunted it six feet.
These shocking pictures show the aftermath of the crash in Georgia, USA, on Thursday (15 July).
The overpass crosses Interstate 16 in Treutlen County, which had to be closed following the accident.
A Georgia Department of Transportation spokesman said a dump truck carrying large tyres was driving at between 1:00-1:30am with its dump trailer up when it struck the bridge. He explained: “It actually moved the bridge off its set mark just under six feet, which is something a lot of our engineers have never seen before.” They confirmed the driver was “OK”.
Georgia DOT managed to completely demolish the bridge by Friday morning. They reported: “Overnight and early Friday morning crews were able to remove the GA HWY 86 Bridge over I-16 completely and began clearing debris from the roadway so that I-16 could safely reopen to traffic. Both Westbound travel lanes of I-16 are now open, two days sooner than expected.”

“I would say the boxing set-up is my favourite. I had this idea for years and made the props and bought the gloves many years ago, but never started to work at it I never saw this idea before in photography, and that made my choice.”

Ready for the Olympics? These sporty squirrels certainly are.
These hilarious images are the work of animal photographer Geert Weggen.
He creates quirky scenes by placing tiny props and getting garden squirrels to interact.
The 52-year-old from Bispgarden, Sweden, explains: "For many years I did not see big sport events, but when the Euro football tournament was almost towards an end, I started to see some matches and liked it. But it was too late to do a squirrel series and so I thought that I would do an Olympic series instead, because I had about 3 weeks left for this event.
“There about 10 different squirrels, both young and old ones. To make them trust me, most of the time I move slowly and be very quiet. I show up often so that they get used to me. Also, in not giving them attention sometimes and doing other things, that can make them curious. And food helps, of course. When they understand that I am the one putting out food, the trust comes easier.

FEATURE - Renitenter junger Pavian wird an seinem Schwanz mitgeschleift
THIS PICTURE: One baboon from the troop has had enough with the youngster's antics and grabs it by the tail and starts pulling it in the direction of travel.
....
STORY CAPTION:
If you struggled to get the kids back to school, then you know the feeling!
These hilarious pictures show a cheeky young chacma baboon being dragged by its tail.
Photographer Michelle Storm captured the scene in South Africa’s Kruger National Park in April 2021.
She explains:
I took these photographs during the daily morning dispersal of the baboons. During the night they often sleep in large groups on high rocks or in tall trees to avoid nocturnal predators.
The morning dispersal from the sleeping site is synchronised, with all the members leaving at the same time. They will then forage during the day and return to the sleep site during the late afternoon.
This process can be very entertaining to watch as there is a lot of running, playing, fighting going on. In this case, the whole troop were on the move, but this youngster was causing chaos.
First hitching a ride on mum's back, then decided to get off and started pestering the rest of the troop until one baboon had enough and grabbed it by the tail and started pulling it in the direction of travel.
