Not your average Wednesday
It was a hump day to remember when emergency services in NSW rescued Gina the domestic camel after she wandered off into the Murray River near Moama. Wading through waist-deep waters, the rescuers were able to bring Gina back to dry land.

Sea star steps
If you’ve ever wondered how starfish get around, take a closer look. These animals rely on tiny hydraulic “feet” which stick out underneath them.
