A beautiful British shorthair male cat named Narnia, who lives in Paris with his loving human Stéphanie Jimenez of the Cattery of Grace, has a unique chimera face that is divided almost perfectly in half, with black fur on one side, gray fur on the other and a sweet little tuxedo pattern that reaches from his chin to his chest. This striking combination combined with big blue eyes makes Narnia a very handsome boy, who doesn’t seem to mind posing for photographer Jean-Michel Labat‘s camera. What makes Narnia different than the other chimera cats about whom we’ve written, other than gender and breed, is the fact that both his eyes are the same color. Jimenez talks about Narnia and how she got into breeding British shorthairs.

(translated) Here is my beautiful Narnia of Grace, he was born at home on March 28, 2017, a real little miracle, blue and black (with a white locket), and blue eyes. The project of having a small family breeding, stayed in my head for a while. When I went to my first cat show in 2010, as a simple visitor, the exchange with many breeders was very pleasant. So I went back a second time and then a third. At the end of the day my decision was made, I too would have my breeding! And it is quite natural that the British has imposed on me.

Auburn University biology professor Geoffrey Hill said the cardinal in the photos is an adult male in the same species as the common red cardinal, but carries a genetic mutation that causes what would normally be brilliant red feathers to be bright yellow instead.

A tiger snake’s turn as a tightrope walker on a wire fence at a Tasmanian vineyard has caused a stir on Facebook, with a reptile expert confirming the deadly creatures “are good climbers”.

The deadly snake’s high-wire manoeuvres were caught on camera at the Bangor Vineyard Shed near Dunalley and posted on their Facebook page on Tuesday.
