These tiny little bunnies (2.5" and 2.25") are knit from hand spun grey angora yarn so they have real bunny fur but won't hop away!

They are stuffed with clean wool and have embroidered wool felt ears. Completely handmade,this sweet set is so soft and fluffy. They would make a wonderful gift for the child, spinner or bunny lover on your list.

Dog fight in Texas

A mother and daughter are in the middle of a custody battle in Galveston County over a two-year-old Chihuahua. Both say the dog should belong to them.

The daughter says, "Me and my mother went out one day and got really intoxicated and we wrote up a contract for the dog that I would sell her the dog."

The mother tells a different story.

Hairy, scary and looking for love

More than 30 species of the highly dangerous funnel web spider exist throughout Australia.

The best known is the Sydney funnel web spider, Atrax robustus, which is found only within a 160 km radius of Sydney.

The male is more dangerous than the female, which is unusual in the spider world. The male Sydney funnel web is also Australia's most dangerous spider, capable of causing death in as little as 15 minutes.

Recent heavy rains in the Sydney area are causing these creatures to emerge from their burrows in search of mates.

The general manager of the Australian Reptile Park, Mary Raynor, said many of the aggressive spiders - about 30 to 40 a week - were being donated to the park by members of the public to be milked for their venom.

"They're really coming alive, and looking for females in earnest before it gets too cold."

Peak mating season for the fanged funnel webs is February to May, but this year the season began early, with large numbers collected before Christmas, probably because of high humidity.

Australian Reptile Park staff collect venom from the fangs of a male funnel web by blowing on the spider.

Anybody want a lion?

José Luis García from Córdoba has less than a month to find a new home for Sandof, the lion who’s been with him for three years and who will lose his home because of plans to extend Córdoba Airport.

José Luis runs a small zoo and is losing his land before the end of the month to make space for the new extension. Among the other animals which must move from the zoo are six pythons, one of which is an albino.

Contacts with other zoos in Spain have been unsuccessful in finding a new home for Sandof as the lion is a male, and cannot be housed with any other male lion.

Señor García is hoping that his idea of giving him away as a package with the pythons may save Sandof from being put down.

Savage deer attacking dogs in UK

An increasing number of dog-owners in rural Bedfordshire are reporting attacks by Chinese water deer, whose ancestors escaped Woburn Safari Park.

Although the deer are less than 2ft tall and weigh a maximum of 31lb, the males have a secret weapon - downward-pointing fangs which can grow more than 3in long.

The Chinese water deer population had sprung up since they began to escape in the 1920s and 1930s. They breed throughout the year and are quite a menace. You don't normally see them except at dusk because they lie down during day as their natural coloring camouflages them in the long grass.

The UK is now estimated to be home to a quarter of the world's Chinese water deer population.

Latest victim was Perdita, a six-year-old Jack Russell out for a walk with Georgina Robey, 12, and her ten year old brother Daniel. Perdita suffered cuts on her back, neck and both sides of her stomach after an encounter with a
