Luscombe Nodram, World’s Tallest HorsePosted by: admin in Animals, tags: Luscombe NodramThe world’s tallest horse Luscombe Nodram, or ‘Noddy’ to his owner Jane Greenman, gives her a nudge before they depart on an Australian tour. The Shire horse is seven-years-old, stands at 20.2 hands high (2.05 meters) and at 1.5 tonnes weighs three times more than the average thoroughbred racehorse. These amazing images capture the moment a puffin was the victim of a mid-air mugging by a greedy gull. The puffin got a nasty shock when it the raider swooped in to snatch a haul of sand eels from its beak. The smaller seabird, which would have had to work hard for its beakful of fish, was taken totally by surprise during the airborne smash-and-grab. |
