Eximshun and the well of death

The most interesting was the Well of Death, where one or more motorcycle riders raced around the wall of a huge drum/well at high speeds, performing stunts such as riding on the walls, standing on the seat, or riding with a passenger.

Just 'bear' facts

The Army and animals have a working relationship, with mutual affection. Horses, mules, oxen, elephants, camels, dogs, cats, rats and pigeons have been in use in armies from times immemorial. Even moose have been used as deep snow cavalry by Sweden and USSR. But not many may have heard of Sir Nils Olav, promoted to the rank of a Brigadier by the Norwegian King’s Guard on Aug 16. No, he was not a human, but a King Penguin in Edinburgh Zoo! Or about an elephant entering an army mess in Binnaguri in North Bengal on Sep 19 2020, drinking up the rum and being unable to exit?
