Shake It Off - Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Memphis Zoo, Tennessee, USA. THIS BREATHAKING new book showcases such stunning shots of the natural world you will be left aching to escape into the wild. A beautiful picture by Baiju Patil captures two tiger cub siblings jostling in the Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, India. Another image taken in Nairobi, Kenya by Paras Chandaria depicts a Maasai giraffe against a daunting and somewhat sinister city skyline. Bringing into focus the sharp contrast between the natural and industrial world. Equally as mesmerising is the image of an arctic fox as it sleeps peacefully through a blizzard, photographed by Jules Cox in Manitoba, Canada. These distinguished photographs are just a few of what you will find in Wonders: Spectacular Moments in Nature Photography compiled by Rhonda Rubenstein and the California Academy of Sciences.

A lovable Labrador which spends its days at the rink after being saved from euthanasia. Benny, five, has been learning to skate for a year after his owner, former coach Cheryl Del Sangro, 56, took him along to a practice on a whim. During that first foray on the ice last winter, adorable Benny scooted around on the ice after his owner, gleefully - and skilfully - picking up pucks. It inspired Cheryl - who had rescued the pup from death row at a shelter when he was just a few months old - to take him under her wing as her newest student. The animal lover has since taken Benny training once every two weeks at the Las Vegas Ice Centre, teaching him an array of tricks including turns, crossovers and bunny hops.
