this curious life

Meet Glen Coddington, the man charged with maintaining a big chunk of Australia's 5,600-kilometre-long dog fence.

 

'At 5,600 kilometres long, the dog fence is the longest barrier in the world. It begins on the Nullabor Plain near the Western Australian border, meanders through South Australia’s arid north, delineates the border between New South Wales and Western Queensland and finishes on the Darling Downs.'

Nearly 900 dolphins that washed up along Peru's coast this year died of natural causes, according to a report that has failed to convince environmental activists.

 

'....environment groups remain unconvinced, and said they were certain that the dolphin deaths were related to offshore oil exploration.'
