The longest and highest tunnel-to-tunnel suspension bridge in the world has finally opened, linking two cities in southern China.
The Aizhai Suspension Bridge stretches 3,858 feet between a tunnel in Chadong and another in Jishou. It cuts the travel time of the trip between the two cities down from several days to just eight hours. At 1,102 feet off the ground, drivers can take in views of the Dehang Canyon. Or, pedestrians who aren't scared of heights — or long walks — can stroll along an attached walkway.

With China's "spare no expense, safety first" philosophy" I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong.   :popcorn:

Madagascar's Verreaux's sifaka lemur


Quote
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and common ostrich (Struthio camelus), Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania: we found this cheetah hanging out in the crater, until all of the sudden it started showing interest in what seemed to be an ostrich. After some sneeking up, the cheetah started gathering speed, one of the most amazing things ever witnessed. The ostrich also took off, at which point in time, I also saw a hare trying to get out of the way. Up to date, I suspect the hare being what the cheetah really was after. With the hare not being captured in this scene, it results in an image of which up to date people ask me whether it has been put together, ... and oh yes, the ostrich decided to turn around and chase off the cheetah, also allowing the hare to get away.

A Red squirrel shot from the Gorky Park in Kharkov, Ukraine


Quote
I've spent quite a long time now trying to photograph red squirrels using a remote release. This is the shot that I am most happy with, after many unsuccessful attempts! They are such playful and curious creatures. This shot features one leaning back from the camera as if surprised, maybe by its own reflection!
