For, no matter how grumpy your boss may be this morning, at least you aren't actually risking life and limb by sticking your head in his jaws.
But that is exactly what the crocodile wrestlers at a Thai zoo do on a daily basis.

The world's most dangerous job?
The daily grind at the office may not seem so bad after viewing these startling images.

The Giant Panda who did a roly-poly in his sleep
It was a perfectly executed forward roll - even better for the fact that this panda managed it in his sleep.
The animal, called Tai Shan, was sitting in his zoo enclosure when he began to doze off, his eyes flickering open and shut before he succumbed to sleep and slumped forward.
The sleepy panda could have fallen flat on his face.
But instead he popped his head between his legs and turned head-over-heels before landing on his back.

Godzilla: RAWR!
Godjelly: EEK! (translation, Godzilla aint got nothing on me. lol)
Mysteries of life and earth. So many magnificent and a lot more waiting to be discovered. So what could be next?
Jellyfish as big as sumo wrestlers hit's Japan. An invasion of jellyfish the size of sumo wrestlers is throwing the Japanese fishing industry into jeopardy. The vast stinging creatures have appeared on Japan's Pacific coast after floating from Chinese and Korean waters where they breed every year. The Echizen jellyfish grow up to 2.2m in diameter and can weigh over 300kg. Their size means they are capable of ruining fisherman's nets and poisoning and crushing catches. One fishing boat was even capsized after a mammoth creature got caught in its net. A local fisherman said: " I have never seen anything this big before." Much about the jellyfish swarms remains a mystery but some scientists believe global warming and rising sea temperatures may be a factor. Japan's Meteorological Agency says the waters of the Sea of Japan are warming at a speed three times faster than the global average.
