NIH Study: Coffee Really Does Make You Live Longer

Caffeine addicts, rejoice: all the coffee you’re downing over the course of a day could be lengthening your lifespan. For real.

This kingfisher amused wildlife photographer Tony Flashman by reversing roles. Mr Flashman was setting up staged perches for birds to land on near a stream in Deal, Kent when he looked around and saw the colourful bird sat on his camera. I had to do a double take when I saw the kingfisher sat on my camera, she was meant to be in front of it, he said. Picture: Tony Flashman / Rex Features

If it has a violin-shape of its head, it’s a Brown Recluse Spider.

Pretty cool looking, but can leave nasty bites that need to be treated and not one to let stay in your area.

A mouse diced with death when it stole some food from under the nose of a leopard at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire.

Instead of pouncing on the mouse, the 12-year-old African leopard, called Sheena, simply watched as it fed on scraps of meat thrown into its enclosure.

At one stage she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the mouse carried on eating regardless.
