Biggest lion

The 10ft lion who's still growing...

He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantastic creation from hollywood. But Hercules is very much living flesh and blood - as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, part tiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one,standing 10ft tall on his back legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is the largest of all the cat species.
On a typical day he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting. At just three years old, hercules already weighs half a ton.

Nature made marvels in the crop fields!

Bravo India! This should show who is stronger

India beat Australia by 72 runs in the third Test on Saturday to hand the hosts their first loss since the 2005 Ashes series against England.

India sealed victory in the final session of the fourth day when they bowled out the Australians for 340 after setting them an unlikely victory target of 413.

Team India becomes the first subcontinent team to win a Test match in Perth. The last time Australia had won 16 Tests on the trot, it was India who had stopped them from win number 17. That was in 2001 at the Eden Gardens.

worlds cheapest car:Pride and joy

After weeks of anticipation and a morning of wall-to-wall build-up on local television networks, which covered the event live, India's "people's car" rolled on stage to the epic strains of Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra, with Ratan Tata, the chairman of Tata Motors, at the wheel.

You could almost hear the cheer going up across India - and you couldn't hear yourself think in the auditorium - as waiting journalists, members of the public and the minister of commerce, Kamal Nath, broke into spontaneous and euphoric applause.

Tata (below), suave and 70, appeared to have a lump in his throat as he announced the realisation of a dream that has taken more than four years and 500 engineers to bring to reality.

This was more than just the launch of a car, he said: it was the jumping-off point for an ideal that its designers hope will revolutionise the lives of millions of Indians, most of whom live in rural areas many miles from the nearest bus stop.
