Pygmy hippopotamuses (Hexaprotodon liberiensis) "Thug", right, and "Nicky" line up to have their teeth cleaned with a new giant toothbrush at the London Zoo. The hippos teeth are regularly cleaned as part of their care routine and until now a broom had done the job perfectly. This summer keepers decided the brooms weren´t snazzy enough, and ordered two giant 5-foot toothbrushes for the pair, a pink one for Thug and a blue one for Nicky.

Volker Helbing poses beside his car, a creation with a 300 liter pool and bar at the Trabant Museum in Weberstedt, eastern Germany. The Trabant, nicknamed "Trabi", an uncomfortable and ubiquitous east german vehicle with an unreliable two-stroke engine, became the overwhelming symbol of the collapse of the former Soviet Union, when thousands of East Germans used the dodgy cars to escape to western Europe in 1989.
