Killer Whales Podcast


Episode – Killer Whales
Date – January 25, 2009
"The radio piece was produced by former killer whale biologist turned public radio producer Ari Daniel Shapiro. Studying animals in nature isn't always about close encounters. For the field biologist, there is passion in the search for the quarry and the lengths to which people will go to find it."
I chose this podcast because I'm interested in animals and nature. Killer whales are creatures that i don't know anything about. I find it fascinating to imagine the world in which they live which is just miles and miles of nothing, only water where they have to find their prey. Also i learned that different type of killer whales eat different things. Also some make a lot of noise when hunting their prey while others make none at all.

Black Sheep News: Feline fashion


Fashion designers in Paris have decided to give true meaning to the word 'catwalk' by parading a series of designs especially for cats.

Cats were shown walking down the runway wearing delightful outfits for every occasion. Some were bright pink others were green and others were multicoloured matching their fur.

Some cats were wearing shirts with human motifs, a reversal of the Lacoste crocodile.

Unfortunately fur flew when some of the dogs in the audience jumped up onto the runway and attacked the cats.

"We thought it would be fun to do something for people's pets. But we're not going to do that again in a hurry" said designer John Kato.
