A Ferrari traveling down the highway is refueled by a plane. This is real, no CGI involved, although the fuel going from the plane to the car is fake. Still, to have the precision to connect the hose from the plane to the car is amazing.

Flipping over Charging Bulls

Bull-leaping is thought to have been a key ritual in the religion of the Minoan civilization on Bronze Age Crete. As in the case of other Mediterranean civilizations, the bull was the subject of veneration and worship. Representation of the Bull at the palace of Knossos is a widespread symbol in the art and decoration of this archaeological site. A tradition of non-violent bull-leaping is practiced in some parts of Spain. Known as the Recortes, athletes, known as Recortadores, compete at dodging and leaping over bulls without the use of the cape or sword. Some Recortadores use a long pole to literally pole-vault over the charging animal, which is both larger than the type used in the French sport, and unrestrained by any guiding rope or similar safety device.

Another example of related sport is Jallikattu, a Pongal celebration related sporting event in Tamil Nadu, India. In this sport, the participants are trying to leap onto a bull, specifically reaching for the money packets tied to the bull’s horns as a prize. This ancient event has been depicted in rock art dated at least to 3rd C BC.

Bird Perfectly Mimics Machine Noises

Lyrebirds are native to Australia and the males are one of the most impressive mimicking birds around. The lyrebird is capable of imitating almost any sound — from a mill whistle to a cross-cut saw, and, not uncommonly, sounds as diverse as chainsaws, car engines and car alarms, fire alarms, rifle-shots, camera shutters, dogs barking, crying babies, and even the human voice. Lyrebirds are shy birds and a constant stream of bird calls coming from one place is often the only way of identifying them and their presence. The female lyrebird is also an excellent mimic, but she is not heard as often as the male lyrebird.
