Gisele Bundchen had better watch out. Decked-out ducks draped in dresses du jour waddled down the runway at Camden Show, one of Australia's most famous annual country festivals. Duck trainer Brian Harrington's anatid fashion show was a huge hit with the crowd. From the looks of it, these ducks may be strutting their feathers down the Victoria's Secret runway some day soon. The hilarious action begins at 0:14. ...
Spotlight On: Australian Animals
Australia is home to dozens of fascinating animals, especially marsupials. But one of the continent's most elusive and legendary critters is the Tasmanian tiger. This carnivorous marsupial, which looks like a cross between a wolf and a tiger, is said to be extinct. The last known animal of the species died in captivity in…
Here in L.A. I have an Aussie friend who's from Tasmania. A couple of weeks ago he said, "Paul, you've heard of Tasmanian devils, right?" I said that of course I've heard of Tasmanian devils. He said, "I mean, you know they're a real animal, not just an annoying cartoon character." Apparently he'd met someone who thought that the Tasmanian devil was an imaginary creature thought up by Warner Bros. I said, "First of all, let me say how sorry I am that you had to talk to somebody that stupid.

jupiterimages We're committed to our pets and all, but this? It's a bit much. Twenty-year-old education student Joseph Guiso and his yellow Lab, Honey, are now joined by the sacred bonds of matrimony, or so they say. We're not so sure the union is legal. According to the Daily Mail, the wedding took place during a glorious sunset ceremony in Toowoomba, Australia's Laurel Bank Park, where 30 friends and family members looked on. Joseph and Honey even sealed the deal with a big, wet smooch. Don't get the wrong idea, folks, Guiso assured his guests that "It's not sexual." Well, that's a relief. As you might imagine, the couple skipped the traditional "'til death do us part" vow, ...
found_drama, Flickr From Home Alone's Wet Bandits, to Jasper and Horace snatching dalmatian puppies for Cruella de Vil, to the cookie-craving crooks of Cookie Crisp cereal fame, there's a reason that bumbling thieves always come in pairs: Two idiots are funnier than one. Case in a point: A duo of would-be reptile thieves raided an Australian pet store yesterday and made off with the shop's 8-year-old, five-foot python named Boris, according to the Associated Press. Then, insanely, and in defiance of the logic and good sense that nature gives most of us, the thieving pair brought Boris to a McDonald's restaurant and put on a show, wrestling the snake in the parking lot and thoroughly ...
