Lazy frog hitches ride on a tortoise!

This frog is definitely lazy! It hitched a ride on the back of a tortoise after deciding it could not hop any longer. But it chose the wrong animal to jump on as the tortoise was going nowhere fast.

Rather than making his own way, the frog decided to get off and push the shelled creature in what looked like attempt to give it a jump start.

But this also, of course, did not work. The comical scenes were captured by amateur photographer Suherman Buntoro in his back garden in Tangerang, a small city near Jakarta, Indonesia.


Museum of ice cream!

A new pop-up museum dedicated to ice cream will open in New York’s Meatpacking District at the end of July.

While not an official museum, the Museum of Ice Cream promises guests a ‘lick-able, likeable, shareable ice cream-centric experience.’

The museum will feature various ice cream-themed attractions such as an ice cream sandwich swing, ice cream scooper seesaw and a Tinder-like service to match guests with their favourite ice cream flavour.

Several interactive and edible experiences are also available inside the museum including a swimmable rainbow ‘sprinkle’ pool, edible balloons, an immersive chocolate room and a collaborative massive ice cream sundae.

The price of admission includes access to a more traditional ice cream experience, allowing guests to try special “Scoop of the Week” ice cream creations.
