Chimpanzeess wedding ceremony

Chimpanzees celebrate wedding after arranged marriage A pair of chimpanzees have been married in a ceremony at a zoo in China - surrounded by photographers recording the happy occasion.

The happy groom for the day was four-year-old Yangyang, who it turns out is a bit of a toyboy (in chimpanzee years, at least), as his blushing bride Wanxing is six years old.

Admittedly, we don't actually know if she was blushing. We're not entirely sure how you'd tell if a chimpanzee was blushing. Do chimpanzees actually blush? Google isn't much help on this one.

The marriage was actually an arranged one - Yangyang, who was born in Guinea, moved to the wildlife park in Hefei, in eastern China's Anhui province after he was selected as being Wanxing's future hubby in 2009.

It wasn't a traditional white wedding - the bride wore a pink top and fetching multicoloured hat, while the groom wa sresplendant in a green, blue and yellow jumper and a rakish kerchief. Both also sported gigantic red ribbons, of dubious practicality.

The wedding was described as 'symbolic', although we're not entirely sure what it was symbolic of, other than the zoo's desire for the chimps to get it on good style. Which we're wholeheartedly in favour of.

Surf Dog Contest

Surf Dog Contest At Huntington Beach hosted the second annual Surf City The Salty Surfing Dog competition last Sunday, raising money for animal charities while letting dogs strut their stuff in a costume contest, a one-mile walk, and of course, a surfing competition. There were two surfing heats: GROMS, where dogs could have as many volunteers in the water as possible to help, and SHREDDER, where dogs were judged on "the length of their ride, the size of the wave and their confidence on the board" and could only have two helpers.mad dog surf

Yoga Bear

Meet The Yoga Bear strikes a pose at Finnish zoo - The lithe female brown bear, who lives at Ahtari Zoo in Finalnd, was snapped doing a yoga routine by amateur photographer Meta Penca.

Much to the delight of onlookers, the bear limbered up for a full 15 minutes.

Of course, Yogi bear, Yellowstone Park’s most famous inhabitant, would be dismayed at all this activity.

Not all members of the ursine community waste their time persecuting park rangers, corrupting their diminutive sidekicks and gorging themselves on stolen picnic baskets. As these remarkable pictures demonstrate, Santra is altogether more spiritual – and lithe – than the average bear.

"She held her legs with her hands for a minute or two in a V position and then put them down and relaxed," said Meta Penca, a 29-year-old web programmer.

"Then she put up her left leg and put it straight with her hands and held it with her left hand for a bit. Then she lifted the other leg, straightened it and held it with her right hand for around two minutes and then had a little rest and then all over again.

"It was exactly the same as when you see people do yoga; easy, slow, focused and calm. She looked pretty into it, a really straight face, no looking around just very serious and calm and kept her eyes slightly opened and focused."

Paul Harvey, a Bristol-based yoga teacher and trainer, said Santra was indeed practising the ancient Indian discipline.

"She looks like quite a lonely bear," he said. "Perhaps she's doing yoga to keep herself sane."

Harvey, who has taught yoga for 35 years, identified a number of posture variations in Penca's pictures.

"The first is spread legs, holding big toes or feet – and she's doing a pretty good job with claws," he said.

"The second is the same posture, with chanting. The third is a one leg variation, the fourth a variation with the other leg. The fifth is a seated head-to-foot posture. Six is a single raised leg stretch and seven is a seated, spread-legs forward bend."

The bear's flexibility and balance, he added, marked her out as something of an expert: "These are not beginners' postures. Yogi bear is definitely an advanced practitioner."

Anyway, we bet you didn’t know that brown bears liked yoga, and we’re pretty sure you didn’t know any of these other amazing facts about the creatures either
