Meet Hercules, a 900lbs liger. He is truly a magnificent beast born to a lion father and a tigress mother. He is 12ft. long and measures up to 4.5ft at the shoulder and almost 6ft at the tips of his ears, so you can imagine how huge he is.
The pictures were shot for a commercial on the London streets where you can see that Hercules is quite capable of reaching out to the top of the British Double Decker bus and he looms easily over the traditional black cabs.
If you thought of having such an animal at your place, think twice, because you’ll need to feed him with 25lbs of meat and a gallon of water a day ;)
Apparently, ligers are not very healthy due to the mixture of genes of different species, but Hercules seems just fine to me.

The common problem of public urination in London has made designer Stephan Bischof to come up with the 'wheelie bin urinal' experiment.
The idea is to prevent men to pee everywhere in public after parties, soccer games…etc.
I think it’s not a bad idea.

The tower, built in 1704, is on sale in London for ₤ 4.5 million.
Of course, the works were done there to make it comfortable and now it is fully habitable.
Its size can be compared with a 10-storey building, but there are only two floors. The accommodation comprises three bedrooms, lounge and kitchen.

The duck that you see here, installed in the courtyard behind a clothing store in London. She layed eggs and some time later she had 11 ducklings.
Shop owners have fed the young family.
But then, the time has come to show little ducklings what the life is all about ;)

Thousands of anti-capitalists, anarchists, and environmental campaigners organized a protest the day before the G-20 summit in London.
Unfortunately, the police confrontation with protesters led to clashes and mass riots.

Two Australian guys that came to London in 1969 took the lion cub from Harrods and gave him a home almost for a year. Then they released him into the wild in Africa.
One year after George Adamson released Christian to the wild, his former owners decided to go looking for him in Africa to see whether Christian would remember them. Surprisingly, he did and also 'introduced' his new partner and cubs to them.

It’s desert, like in futuristic movies after the Apocalypse.
