That rabbits like to hop is hardly a secret. But now European rabbit enthusiasts have harnessed their bunnies’ natural talents to create a new spectator sport… rabbit showjumping.
Invented in Sweden in the early Eighties, Kaninhop involves bunnies bouncing their way around courses consisting of several small jumps of varying height and length.
Snoopy, a black-and-white bunny from the German city of Jena, is the star of the local Kaninhop club – and he makes spends his days leaping over all manner of barricades, jumps and rails.
Invented in Sweden in the early Eighties, Kaninhop involves bunnies bouncing their way around courses consisting of several small jumps of varying height and length.
Snoopy, a black-and-white bunny from the German city of Jena, is the star of the local Kaninhop club – and he makes spends his days leaping over all manner of barricades, jumps and rails.

‘Snoopy can jump 60 centimeters (about 2 feet) high,’ proud Claudia Fehlen, the 23-year-old founder of the Jena bunny hopping club, told Der Spiegel.‘And he has done well in tournaments. He came in second once, and third another time.’
Over the past few decades to sport has spread far from its Scandinavian homeland and clubs have now sprung up in several other European countries, the U.S., Canada and even Japan.
Rules vary from country to country, but generally the more jumps a rabbit clears the higher its score. There is also sometimes a time element to competitions.

As well as the dressage-style courses, there are also long-jump and high-jump challenges. The world height record is 99.5cm while the best distance is fully three metres, according to Swedish fan site kaninhoppning.se.Miss Fehlen discovered the sport on the internet about five years ago. She practiced with her pet rabbits in her back garden before starting the Jena club in 2009.
Now there are 13 members who gather once a week in the eastern German city to train their animals.
Animal rights activists are alarmed by the past-time. Sweetrabbits, a private animal rights initiative in Germany, has criticised the use of leashes in Kaninhop competitions.
The group has even accused trainers of using the tethers to pull uncooperative rabbits over the obstacles.
But Miss Fehlen points out important practical reasons for keeping competing rabbits leashed: ‘We use them in tournaments for safety,’ she said.
‘Just think of what would happen if a male were to break free. We want to avoid uncontrolled reproduction. It has happened before.’ (Mail Online)

Visitors to the opening day of Sexpo in South Africa today were treated to live demonstrations by Australian artist Tim Patch, alias "Pricasso," of his penis paintings of famous global figures.Neither US President George W Bush, former British prime minister Tony Blair nor former Japanese prime minister Junichiro Koizumi were spared the rod as a naked but for a top hat Patch hammered out a series of surprisingly realistic depictions.
Former Brisbane builder Tim Patch was finding it difficult to crack the art market until he dipped his quill in the ink, so to speak.
Under the artistic pseudonym "Pricasso", Patch uses his penis to paint portraits, landscapes and female nudes.

"I dip it in the paint and then apply it to the canvas," says the 56-year-old who grew up in England. "I began doing it at a party around Christmas time.When the canvas became too rough on his "brush", he switched to paper, but has switched to a "smoothed-back canvas … for a better effect".

A Chinese grandmother collapsed with shock when her cow gave birth to a two-headed calf. Dong Yubao, 65, of Gaoyang village, northern China’s Hebei Province, said his wife Li Chunhua, 60, was helping the cow give birth."My wife and a neighbour were in the barn to help the cow through labour," he said. "The calf came out – heads first – and my wife fell to the floor when she saw the two heads and four eyes."
Dong said the cow had previously been a mother many times and her calves had all been healthy and normal.
"I can’t understand why she produced such a weird calf this time," he added.
The calf’s two heads point in almost opposite directions. Both heads have their own eyes, nose and mouth but only three ears between them.
Dong said the two-headed calf can’t stand unaided so his 16-year-old granddaughter Jinfeg is bottle-feeding it with sheep milk. (Orange News)

Although it is quite impossible for one species of animal to give birth to another, a pet calico cat in Yangshan, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, has gained fame as the mother of two kittens, including one that turned out to be a puppy!
Zhou Yun, the owner of the cat, noticed that one of the kittens had died shortly after birth and that the other…well, the other was something else.
Zhou is an animal lover and has both cats and dogs in her home. The cat and the dog are friends and eat and sleep together, but this?
“Quite possibly the kitty is a mixed child,” said Zhou.
Genetically, however, this is quite impossible. The president of the pet clinic, Lai Xiaoyun, paid the newborn a visit and theorized that after the death of the kitten, the mother cat discovered a littler of newborn puppies and brought one home.
This is a very possible scenario, but the truth may never be known, as Mama cat is saying nothing.
“Cats and dogs are two different species and it’s impossible to have joint descendants,” stated Lai.
Will this new creature bark or miaow or do some combination of both?
Time will tell.

Recently, the Guangyuan International Community on Zhongyin Road in Guilin city erected a sculpture named “Helping the Elderly”, the sculpture being two “stark naked” women carrying a man, the inscription below reading “Wife on the left, daughter-in-law on the right, the moral is of family harmony, harmonious coexistence, supporting each other, respecting and loving the elderly”. Netizens photographed the sculpture and posted it onto discussion forums and blogs, immediately creating heated netizen discussion, with many netizens saying the sculpture is too avant-garde and dumbfounding, while other netizens say art cannot be taken too seriously.
Community resident Mrs. Li told this reporter, from the meaning expressed through the sculpture, it is like an elderly man who has difficulty moving being helped to the toilet with the support of his wife and daughter. However in real life, this kind of scene is rare. With the man’s genitals carved so prominently, it isn’t very tasteful, and had he been “wearing” clothes or pants, it may be a bit better. With regards to this sculpture, most netizens are critical, but there are also netizens who believe that though the sculpture doesn’t look very tasteful, it is still rather creative; Some netizens feel it is very humorous, believing that art doesn’t need to be concealed, that one cannot only look at the simple surface, that the artistic conception is more important. - ChinaSmack -
