Peregrine Falcon chicks ringed and measured at Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, Britain - 26 May 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/qfq5
These peregrine falcon chicks look less than impressed as they are weighed, measured and ringed at Salisbury Cathedral. The chicks were carefully checked over by Ed Drewitt and his team from the British Trust for Ornithology. The youngsters, who were found to be two boys and two girls, were carefully removed from their nesting box at the top of the Cathdral's lofty tower, before being returned no worse the wear for the experience. This is the second time since 1953 that peregrines have successfully hatched eggs at Salisbury Cathedral. Last year three offspring fledged and this year the eggs were laid over Easter before hatching at the start of May.

Manuel Uribe who holds the record for being the fattest man in the world. At his peak he weighed 88 stone but in the past year he has lost 25 stone and found love. He now plans to set a record for losing the most weight.
Manuel Uribe who holds the record for being the fattest man in the world, Monterrey, Mexico - 06 Jun 2007
A man believed to be the heaviest in the world after reaching a peak weight of 1,225lb - 87 stone or over half a ton - has reportedly lost almost half his body weight. In 2006, after being bed bound for five years, Manuel Uribe, 42, of Monterrey, Mexico, made an impassioned plea for help. Doctors and dieticians the world over responded to his appeal, with a team of medics from Italy, the United States and Mexico leading the attempt to restore him to a healthy weight. After following the high-protein 'Zone Diet' Uribe has now reportedly lost 570lb - almost 41 stone. A new documentary showing on Channel 5 at 9pm on 2nd April chronicles a year in Uribe's life, following his attempts to lose weight and meeting his friends and family in an attempt to understand what it means to be the world's heaviest man.

The seven-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and 16 other pets have undergone a physical transformation as part of a six month diet and fitness regime run by veterinary charity PDSA.
At the beginning of the competition the Spaniel tipped the scales at 20.5kg - double his ideal weight - and six months on has lost a remarkable 6.4kg, which is 31% of his bodyweight and bringing him to a far healthier 14.1kg- trimming 20cm off his waist.
Owner Rose Welsh, 52, adopted the already super-sized Spaniel back in January of this year, she said: "When Jack first came to us he was morbidly obese and could barely walk.
"I couldn't bear to see him in such a sad state so I took him to the vet to talk about a diet and fitness plan.
"Today he is a different dog and we call him Jumping Jack instead of Jumbo Jack, as he jumps every time he barks now. He is fit, healthy and happy - everything a pet should be - and we are absolutely thrilled."
Jack had been overfed and hardly exercised prior to being adopted by Rose, which had caused him to become deaf, as the extra fat blocked his ear canals. He struggled to walk more than a few steps, couldn't play and couldn't even bark.
PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, added: "Having adopted a seriously overweight animal, Rose has done a wonderful job in managing Jack's food intake and safely increasing his exercise. As for Jack, he undoubtedly feels much fitter and happier, and has a greater life expectanc...

Cavalier Jack weighed a whopping 22kg before starting his diet with PDSA
Supersized Pets Fight The Flab
A pet fit competition run by a veterinary charity will see 18 of the UK's fattest animals get in shape.
Pet Fit Club run by the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) encourages overweight cats, dogs and rabbits to lose weight.
Specialist vets will be guiding the owners of each of these supersized pets on their journey to good health by providing a balanced diet and tailored exercise plan.
The contestants - 11 dogs, five cats and two rabbits - are carrying a combined excess weight of more than 24 stone - the equivalent of 380 tins of dog food, 35 average-sized cats or 50 Yorkshire Terriers.
All of the finalists fall into the category of obese or morbidly obese and desperately need to lose weight to improve their quality of life.
Sean Wensley, PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, said: "Excess pounds can contribute to a number of serious health conditions and, sadly, it does reduce life expectancy. But the good news is that it's never too late to make positive changes to a pet's diet and lifestyle."
This year's 18 finalists include a line-up of pets who have become accustomed to a variety of unhealthy foods including a 'custard cream loving' dog called Alfie; a 10.2kg Scottish cat called Maverick who is 85% overweight; food thief, Deco - a canine who likes cake but is carrying 57% extra body weight; Romeo the Labrador who has a penchant for roast dinners who is 47% overweight.

Cricket fighting, China - Oct 2011

Cricket Fight Club
A blood sport unique to China is enjoying something of a resurgence in popularity - cricket fighting.
This popular pastime dates back more than 1,000 years to the Tang Dynasty when it was first played by rich men.
However, it quickly became popular amongst commoners due to the gambling element.
During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) the practice was banned by the Communist government as it was considered to 'bourgeois'.
But once again the sport is now growing in popularity - particularly with the new generation.
While it is illegal in China to gamble, cricket fights themselves are legal and occur in most large cities.
In addition, each year a six-day national cricket-fighting competition draws hundreds of fans and combative insects to Chongming Island off the coast of Shanghai.
While some prefer to catch their own fighters, specialised crickets sellers in markets across the country - such as the Shanghai Bird, Flower and Insect market - conduct a brisk trade.
In 2010 more than 400 million yuan (US$63 million) was spent in China on crickets.
Just like race horses, crickets have pedigrees and some insects bred by knowledgeable keepers are in high demand.
The best fighters also exchange hands for high sums of money despite the fact they only have a short six month life span.
Each cricket must be kept in its own clay pot and their diets include ground shrimp, red beans, goat liver, and maggots.
Fighting is a natural occurrence between two males competing for territory.
Before a professional fighting bout, the insects are weighed and then matched up according to size, weight, and color
Owners 'encourage' their crickets to fight by stroking them with straw sticks to draw out their jaws.
Both combatants are then placed in a small fighting arena to battle...

Pete the puffin, who was rescued after being found washed-up on a beach, Taunton, Somerset - 30 Aug 2011

Puffin Pete Is All Washed-Up
Poor Pete the puffin may only be a youngster but he's already found himself all washed up.
The tiny little puffin is making himself at home at an animal shelter in Taunton, Somerset after being discovered stranded on a beach in Weymouth.
It is thought that the youngster got separated from his parents before ending up washed-up and alone on the sand.
However, luckily for Pete he was spotted and has been taken in by the RSPCA.
Staff are now feeding the little puffin on a diet of sprats and he is already starting to fatten up nicely.
And though he has yet to develop the distinctive beak of his species, Pete is already happily practicing perfect puffin behaviour.
In his pond at the centre the young bird has been practicing 'flying' beneath the surface, which is how puffins catch their food in the wild.
Puffins keep their feathers waterproof by smearing them with oil produced from a special gland near their tail.
Following his ordeal Pete's wings became waterlogged and he will not be released back into the wild until he has managed to coat them sufficiently again.

Swan Upping on the River Thames between Shepperton Lock and Windsor, Britain - 18 Jul 2011
Swan Upping dates from medieval times, when The Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans which were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts. Today, the cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week.

Litter of smallest miniature pigs so far born at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon, Britain - 19 May 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features ( 1329272c )
Mini Pigs With A Mighty Appeal
This little piggy rode a skateboard, this little piggy sat in a hat and these little piggies are the smallest mini pigs around.
Pennywall Farm in Buckfastleigh is celebrating the pitter patter of some very tiny trotters.
For the latest litter of miniature pigs to be born there are the smallest that owner Chris Murray has ever seen.
Even amongst a breed famed for their tiny stature, the four newcomers are squeally tiny.
The foursome can all fit comfortably on a skateboard or snuggled together in a hat.
They are so slight that even a bag of sugar outweighs not only one but two of them together.
Micro or miniature pigs grow to just 14 inches long.
They have sparked a popular pet craze in recent years with a host of celebrity owners including David and Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton.
Unsurprisingly given their name, mini pigs are much smaller than a standard farm pig and weigh just 9oz when they are born.
At two years old they are fully grown and weigh in around 40-65 pounds and are around knee height at 12-16 inches tall.
The pigs, which cost up to GBP 700 each, can live for up to 18 years, but make popular pets as they are low maintenance, quiet and surprisingly clean.
And while they may be mini porkers there's no denying that they're mighty cute.

Abandoned baby spider monkey is introduced to her grandmother, Melbourne Zoo, Australia - 26 Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by James D. Morgan / Rex Features ( 1301490f )
Motherless Monkey Meets Her Family
After being abandoned at birth a motherless monkey is gradually being re-introduced to her family.
Spider Monkey baby Estela has been getting round-the-clock care for more than two months from a team of dedicated Primate Keepers at Melbourne Zoo.
Though she was rejected by her mother Sunshine, keepers are hoping that tiny Estela's grandmother Sonja will, in time, step in and care for her.
Primate Supervisor Jess McKelson says "We're really functioning as surrogate mothers to both Estela and Sonya.
"We've been introducing the two of them since shortly after Estela was born on January 17th, when her mother Sunshine wasn't able to care for her.
"Sonya hasn't given birth since Sunshine was born in 1987, so we are working to stimulate her mothering instincts.
"We have seen some real progress, with Sonya grooming Estela. The baby even jumped on her grandmother's back the other day.
"Once we're confident that the baby is doing well enough, we will move her in with Estela in the nursery area where we will be able to keep a good eye on them.
"We want the two of them to be together so Estela can learn how to be a Spider Monkey - for example, learning the vocalizations of her species.'
There are four Primate Keepers involved in the surrogate mothering of Estela, and they are currently providing her with feeds of infant formula every 3 hours.
And so far Estela has been flourishing thanks to the keepers' and Sonja's care, with her weight growing from 417 grams to 730 grams since she was born.

Baby penguin being handreared at Paultons Park, Romsey, Hampshire, Britain - 02 Jun 2010
BABY PENGUIN THRIVES AS HE PILES ON THE POUNDS
This baby humboldt penguin is piling on the pounds after being handreared by keepers at a zoo who have to weigh it daily to ensure it gets enough food.
The cute youngster's mum laid two eggs but had previously struggled to cope with two chicks so keepers decided to try rearing one themselves.
The new arrival is currently living in an incubator alongside a stuffed toy penguin for company at Paultons Park in Romsey.
The park will hold a competition to name their new arrival once a DNA test on its feathers reveals its gender.
This is likely to take a further two months, when it will grow its first waterproof coating and will be allowed to join its mum and dad back in the main pool.
It will be introduced to the water slowly, starting with just an hour a day.
The penguin - who is currently just five weeks old - will be fed liquidised fish through a syringe before moving on to slices of spratts and finally complete fish.
Senior keeper Marc Bignell, 36, said: "We have put a stuffed toy penguin in the incubator to keep him company. He likes to snuggle up next to it and seems very happy.
"We weigh him every morning and feed him ten per cent of his body weight three times a day but he never seems to think it is enough.
"It is heartbreaking when you put him back down after meal times, having given him plenty, and he screeches out for more.
"He is making very good progress and I look forward to being able to introduce him to his parents and the main pool."
The other chick was allowed to remain with its parents, aged five and eight years, but sadly died.

The cute youngster's mum laid two eggs but had previously struggled to cope with two chicks so keepers decided to try rearing one themselves.
The new arrival is currently living in an incubator alongside a stuffed toy penguin for company at Paultons Park in Romsey.
The park will hold a competition to name their new arrival once a DNA test on its feathers reveals its gender.
This is likely to take a further two months, when it will grow its first waterproof coating and will be allowed to join its mum and dad back in the main pool.
It will be introduced to the water slowly, starting with just an hour a day.
The penguin - who is currently just five weeks old - will be fed liquidised fish through a syringe before moving on to slices of spratts and finally complete fish.
Senior keeper Marc Bignell, 36, said: "We have put a stuffed toy penguin in the incubator to keep him company. He likes to snuggle up next to it and seems very happy.
"We weigh him every morning and feed him ten per cent of his body weight three times a day but he never seems to think it is enough.
"It is heartbreaking when you put him back down after meal times, having given him plenty, and he screeches out for more.
"He is making very good progress and I look forward to being able to introduce him to his parents and the main pool."
The other chick was allowed to remain with its parents, aged five and eight years, but sadly died.

UNICEF goodwill ambassador David Beckham visited Sierra Leone from 18th-20th January to call international attention to the issue of child survival.
From 18-20 January 2008 footballer and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham was in Sierra Leone to call international attention to the issue of child survival, and to highlight the 26,000 children who die around the world of mostly preventable causes. His visit preceded the launch of UNICEF'S State of the World's Children 2008 report. According to the report, in Sierra Leone, under-five mortality and maternal mortality rates are the highest in the world; one in four of the country's children die before reaching their 5th birthday. While in the country, Beckham visited a UNICEF-supported heath centre in the town of Makeni to learn about maternal and child health interventions. He also visited community projects promoting disease-prevention efforts, as well as a feeding centre for severely malnourished children, before finding time to play football with some of the youngsters he met. He also visited the capital of Freetown to meet children affected by HIV/AIDS.

The farmer who brought us Britain's biggest bullock has found another record breaker - measuring 6ft 3in tall.
Arthur Duckett, 78, reckons massive Field Marshall, his six-year-old Charolet bull, weighing in at 1,360 kilos will be crowned the nations biggest. Arthur, a farmer, from Burnham-on-sea, Somerset, immediately saw the bull's potential, and said it will put on 300 kilos in the next year. He bought the white bullock two years ago and decided to keep it as a pet when he realised it was a one-off.
Two years ago Arthur and his wife Helen broke records with their 6ft 5in bull Colonel, who weighed 3,500lbs. The Colonel and Field Marshall are kept in a 22-acre field on Arthur's farm, and is in good company as he shares the plot with a 5ft 6in tall Highland steer called The Captain. 717981h
