“You’ve made a mess”

While joking about the risks he took in painting with children while wearing a suit on budget day, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese noticed a coffee stain on a reporter’s shirt. “At least it’s not paint,” the Prime Minister said.

Not your average Wednesday

It was a hump day to remember when emergency services in NSW rescued Gina the domestic camel after she wandered off into the Murray River near Moama. Wading through waist-deep waters, the rescuers were able to bring Gina back to dry land.  

Katy Perry 

Pop star Katy Perry caused concern among her fans after her right eyelid appeared to ‘glitch’ mid-concert in Las Vegas. The video of the ‘glitch’ went viral, with fans speculating and creating theories behind the incident. The singer responded to the concern, poking fun at the video and saying it was all an act.

After a quick charge towards the camera, this baby elephant aborted his mission. Perhaps deciding the limelight isn’t for him after all.

Sea star steps

If you’ve ever wondered how starfish get around, take a closer look. These animals rely on tiny hydraulic “feet” which stick out underneath them.

Over the edge

What a push! These two orangutans definitely had some unfinished business.
