Noah’s ark replica
14 07 2008Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bisons and other animals are greeting visitors inside the massive replica of the biblical Noah’s Ark built by Christian Johan Huibers.
The fully functional ark is two-thirds the length of a football field, but five times smaller than the original Noah’s ark.

Hope, the two legged dog
8 07 2008Hope was born with only two legs and she has small wriggling nubs where her front legs should be. She used to move around by hopping, but experts said that eventually would damage her bones and spine. The wheeled device was created by David Turnbill free of charge. Each of the “arms” can move up or down independently of the other, allowing Hope to pivot and turn.
A cast was made in order to build the prosthetic device, but when she will grow bigger she will need to have another device made for her.
