Bugger - they have competition :)

They are some very impressive cattle. I think I may have visited those cattle in Northumberland, erm, 45 years ago as a kid on holiday up there. Definitely remember seeing some rare/ancient breed cattle - so was probably them.

'Our ones' need to get the same agent as Shrek! Shrek was a Merino sheep that hid out in a cave in Otago for 6 years to avoid shearing - and was colossal when eventually found. He gained worldwide notoriety and fame (in NZ) until his death in 2011.

Been there myself, about 25 years ago. Probably only about 25 years ago.

Likely would have been them, they are unique! :)

Nope. Their celebrity will be very flash in the pan, and they run the risk of ending up in the jungle, on the barbie if not as a contestant! :D

Here are some famous cows, this lot have been around for centuries, they are quite small, and quite expensive! :)

And this lot have been roaming their park in Northumberland since the 12th century IIRC. A visit is a very good day out!

They are probably OK for McDonalds, but we prefer ones with bigger tits.;)

There was some great chat on the Paul Henry breakfast show this morning as to which one you'd want to be evacuated on. I think the best suggestion was the US one for breakfast, but then get transferred to the Canadian one because the US boats are dry.

It could be a spectacular sight. The harbour there is a small one for whale watching cats - nowhere near big enough for the ships arriving. There's talk that the HMNZS Canterbury has ro-ro capability and may "beach" itself to let people on. I hope it does, that would be so cool :) They couldn't do it in South Bay, its far to rocky, but the main beach by the "Whale Way Station" (railway station) would be perfect with its deep drop off. Right where we go fishing because it has toilets and a decent coffee shop :)

lol, doesn't look like the habour can even be used for smaller boats to ferry people out to the frigates.

Sounds like the whale watching boats were in harbour overnight when the quake struck. The quake has lifted the seabed and there's not enough water under the boats anymore to float them - they're now stuck firm on the seabed!
