Running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain


Pamplona, Spain is hosting its annual Festival of San Fermin, most famous for its “Running of the Bulls“, an 800-meter chaotic dash from corral to bullring through the narrow streets of Pamplona. Once the bulls arrive at the Plaza de Toros, they are again corralled until the afternoon’s bullfights (corridas). The festival, started in the sixteenth century, opened this year on July 6th, and more than a dozen participants have been seriously injured so far, with one death (due to a fall from a wall). It will continue until July 14th.































Giant Animals Still Roam the Earth



A couple of years ago, some 11 year old boy killed the largest wild boar anyone has ever seen. The thing is unbelievably massive. Actually, to be exact, it was "1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail". Seriously? No one notice this thing walking around? It's bigger than my car. And he killed it with a hand gun? Who goes hunting with a hand gun? After reading about this pig-monster, I could think about only 1 thing: how sick of eating pork this kid's family is going to become. Some more pictures of such giant animals after the jump.
