Top Videos: Queen Mary’s old ad, beer-cup snake
This week, Donald Trump’s last standing opponent said the race was far from over, despite his win in New Hampshire.
A 90-year-old woman broke a world record in athletics, while an ad from the 1990s shows Queen Mary before she became a royal.
Here are our top videos for the week.
‘Far from over’
Nikki Haley congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in New Hampshire’s Republican Presidential contest, saying the race was “far from over”.
The contest for the Republican nomination is down to just Trump and Haley.
In true Trump form, he called her “delusional” following her loss.

Shot of the tournament

90-year-old sets world record
Emma Maria Mazzenga set a world record for her age this week, running the women’s 200 metres in 54 seconds at 90 years old.
The win comes after Mazzenga reportedly took some time off to recover from an injury, and she was cheered on by spectators as she crossed the finish line.
Queen Mary rides public transport
Before she was the Queen of Denmark, Australia’s very own royal, Queen Mary was once in an ad for Victoria’s V/Line.
The ad from 1998 was shared by Victoria’s current Premier Jacinta Allen on Instagram.
The ad was conceived by the ad agency she used to work for, before she became a royal, of course.
Professional lip readers
Australian actor Jacob Elordi hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend, and he starred in a hilarious skit with musical guest Renee Rapp.
In the skit, Elordi and Bowen Yang play professional lip readers while appearing on Entertainment Tonight to decipher what celebrities are saying. Of course they were aided by their “lesbian intern”, Rapp.

Beer-cup snake
Security was forced to spring into action when a beer-cup snake was seen at Adelaide Oval during the cricket.
It was a team effort among the crowd, but security staff were onto them pretty quickly, so it turned into a game of hide and seek.

Meerkat pups venture out
This week, Melbourne Zoo introduced five very cute Meerkat pups to the world.
“The healthy almost three-week-old pups are just starting to venture out of the den, with some encouragement from their older siblings as well as parents Toto and Malu,” the zoo said on Instagram.
Rat’s greatest challenge
A rat faced an immense battle in New York City a few days ago, as it tried desperately to get up to the top of the escalator, which was going down.
The video appropriately used the theme song from Rocky and we don’t know if the rat made it to the top.

Worth the cold
Some people don’t like the cold, but polar bears do.
This week, Utah’s Hogle Zoo shared a video of polar bear, Neva, enjoying her time in the snow, adding the cold was worth it.
