  1. The 'Fail' is not distinguishing itself today either, with the story about a failure to properly sex a giant anteater headlined "It's aardvark telling them apart!".

    When to comes to a headline pun the concept of Linnaean taxonomy does not exist for sub editors.

    Although colloquially Aarvarks are sometimes known as anteaters it is quite a tenuous stretch to link them with Giant Anteaters.

  3. They have a beautiful one still up today - whale sharks listed as 'the world's largest mammals'....

  4. Good to see their crack sub-ed team's well on target.

    But poor dolphin, subjected to pounding techno day in, day out.

    Catastrophe.
