John Lewis have a long tradition of producing heartwarming Christmas commercials and this year was no different, with the story of a Christmas loving hare and his big, sleepy bear friend (who normally hibernates through the holidays) at the centre of this seasons story.

You’ve no doubt already seen the £1 million production, however the painstaking planning and meticulous attention to detail involved in such a project could be easily overlooked. That’s why we love the release of this little ‘making of’ gem by Blinkink, showing the hard work of creators Yves Geleyn & Elliot Dear, who used a combination of traditional 2D hand-drawn animation, stop-frame and 3D model sets to create the final commercial.

This is a rarely-seen "pink fairy" armadillo that lives in western central Argentina. Chlamyphorus truncatus, the tiniest armadillo species on the planet, spends almost all of its time underground, making it hard for researchers to determine whether it's endangered or just very elusive. Scientists at Mendoza, Argentina's CONICET research center recently had the opportunity to study one in captivity and discovered that the animal doesn't "swim" through sand as previously suspected but rather "digs and then it backs up and compacts the sand with its butt plate.” (Science News)
