The 2-year-old cat that currently holds the world record is 3 and 3 quarter inches tall and is about 3 pounds. So in the next few months we are expecting it to grow a small amount but the veterinarians do not believe he's going to grow that much. So this is a world record attempt that we are doing right here today. We are going to submit this information to the Guinness Book." STORYLINE A kitten in the US state of California may be headed for the record books. Heed, a 9 week-old kitten from El Cajon, is only 7 centimetres (2.75 inches) tall and weighs just over half a kilogram (1.24 pounds). The kitten is so tiny he is expected to win a place in the Guinness Book Of World Records soon. A 2-year-old cat currently holds the Guinness World Record for smallest cat and is just under 10 centimetres (3.75 inches) tall and weighs 1.36 kilograms (3 pounds). Heed will be full size in 6 to 8 months and veterinarians believe he will then be the smallest cat in the world. keyword-animal

One was born to the world's largest antelope; the other, to the world's smallest cattle. An Eastern giant eland female calf was born on November 21st. The elands are native to Central Africa and are the largest antelopes in existence. The newborn calf weighs only 58 pounds (26 kilogrammes) but could reach up to two-thousand pounds (909 kilogrammes) as an adult. The other calf is a baby lowland anoa. Anoas are from Indonesia and are sometimes called dwarf water buffalo. They are the smallest wild cattle alive today and are highly endangered. Zoo officials say both the eland and anoa births are special because the animals are rarely found in zoos.

Beaky, a rare Kemp's ridley turtle, surprised animal specialists all over the world when she was found stranded in Wales - about thousands of miles (kms) away from home. Late on Friday, she was flown back on a British Airways flight to SeaWorld Orlando where she will receive some critical care before being returned to her native Gulf of Mexico. Beaky has crossed the Atlantic again - but this time on a plane. The rare sea turtle hit the headlines when she swam five-thousand miles (eight-thousand kilometres) from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Wales. The 20-inch (51 cms) turtle was found entangled in seaweed by a former British Royal Navy commander who took the creature to the Wales Sealife Oceanarium. Eager to return Beaky home, aquarium specialists in Wales contacted SeaWorld to take in the turtle for rehabilitation. The experts still aren't sure how the tiny turtle made it all the way across the Atlantic. Beaky's species, the Kemp's ridley turtle, are the smallest sea turtle in the world - adults measure only 22 to 30 inches (56 to 76 cms) in length and weigh 85 to 100 pounds. Apart from that, the Kemp's turtle is the most endangered species - only 800 females are estimated to exist, compared to 42-thousand in 1942. The wayward turtle will be cared for by staff at SeaWorld in Orlando, who will make sure she gets all the rest she needs after her mammoth journey. After a battery of medical examinations, Beaky will enter a rehabilitation programme designed to return her to her native Gulf waters.

Nepal hosted one of the Worlds most unusual Championships, an International challenge of Jumbo proportions for the 27th World Elephant Polo Championships. Players from across the globe including the USA, Scotland, India and England assembled to form Eight International teams of Man and Beast. The tournament is played at a small village, Meghauly, on the edge of the famous Royal Chitwan National Park, highly appropriate for this most majestic of sports. The sport was founded 27 years ago by Brits Jim Edwards and James Manclark a fellow adventurer, in a drinking session at St Moritz after tobogganing on the Cresta Run. Its rules have evolved over the last 2 decades and the game now has its own governing body; World Elephant Polo Association (WEPA). Each game consists of two chukkas of ten minutes. The smaller, younger elephants are the fastest and are primarily used in an attacking position. Opposing teams swap elephants at the end of the first chukka to negate any advantage of a particular set of elephants, although there are tactical advantages of choosing the fastest set of elephants first. The Elephants are controlled by ‘mahouts’ or drivers, whilst the players concentrate on wielding extra long polo sticks, but communication between all three (mahout, player and elephant) is crucial. The rules of the game are similar to horse polo, but the pitch is 3/4 length and there can be no more than three elephants in one half of a pitch at a time, to avoid the dangers of the animals’ herd instincts crowding them into a semi-permanent huddle. Fouls can include standing on the ball, hooking an opponent’s stick and deliberately crossing in front of a charging elephant. Professional polo players are handicapped in the same way as horse polo whilst seasoned elephant polo players also carry a goal handicap. During the first three days of this event, the eight teams competed in heats to see which four teams progressed through to the final stages and climax of the competition. The championship embodies superb skill and daring and is undertaken in a spirit of fun and goodwill but it’s the gentle giants of the Jungle who always prove to be the stars of the show, deservedly so! However, there is a more serious side of the sport as the annual tournament has created over 1000 jobs and raises money for wildlife conservation, education and healthcare projects in the local area and elsewhere in Nepal. The education and healthcare projects have transformed the lives of many villagers, some of whom travel up to 50 miles to watch the tournament which is testament to how important it is in the region; indeed it is the highlight of the sporting calendar in Nepal. Early in the morning, as the mist lays heavy over the prestigious Royal Chitwan National park, mahouts and their elephants leave their home at the famous Tiger Tops Lodge and make their way across the river for surely one of the World’s most unusual Championships. The sport of Elephant polo was founded 2 decades ago by Brits James Manclark and Jim Edwards and now in its 27th year draws players from across the globe who head out to this Jungle Retreat to form Eight International teams. Hoping to regain their past glory the Chivas Regal team, representing Scotland, were the tournament favorites and whose members included Torquhil Campbell, the 13th Duke of Argyll and former Indian horse polo player captain Colonel Raj Kalaan from Delhi.The rules are based on Horse polo, except competitors use longer sticks and the pitch is smaller for the slightly less agile elephants. Each player is assisted by a driver or "mahout" who knows the elephant and is able to steer and control the animal. During match play the rivalry is fierce as the teams demonstrate their skills and strategy to gain a tactical advantage. But as soon as the games are over the rivalry disappears as the victors are modest in their success, the losers gracious in defeat. Whilst each team of elephants is evenly matched, opposing teams swap elephants at the end of the first chukka to negate any advantage. The smallest elephant on each team is the fastest, a sort of GTI version, and these elephants play a pivotal role in the match. However, in the game of Elephant polo communication is the key to success not only between mahout, player and elephant but also fellow team members. During play ball boys clear any elephant dung to avoid the matter being splattered during contact with the polo sticks. Presiding over the matches, the referee is perched upon an impressive tusker.After a week of intensive competition, the final lined up a challenge of jumbo proportions as England’s Team Air Tuskers faced the mighty ex-champions; Chivas from Scotland. Since Team Scotland was comprised of seasoned Elephant Polo players the handicap system meant they started the match with a 5 goal disadvantage. Only one goal was scored in the final but this was enough to give the English team victory and the final score of 6 to 1 concealed the closeness of the match. But as always it was the gentle giants of the Jungle, the elephants, who stole the show, they clearly enjoyed their role and proved to be the real stars of the tournament and were rewarded with plentiful supplies of their favorite food, deservedly so! Winners: Air Tuskers from England Captained by Robert MackenzieRunners up: Chivas Regal from Scotland.

It's an important step toward being able to detect Earth-sized worlds which have the best chance of containing life as we know it. A team of planet-hunting astronomers on Wednesday announced that they have found evidence of the smallest planets yet discovered to be in orbit of stars other than the sun. Both planets are smaller in mass than Saturn, a solar system planet that is about nine times wider than Earth. According to Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, it's an important milestone because it suggests there may be other planets out there. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We have discovered the first Saturn-sized planets ever found outside our Solar System." SUPER CAPTION: Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley The new planets are thought to be hot, gaseous giants, rapidly orbiting their stars and are probably devoid of life. Both of the new planets are slightly smaller than Saturn, a gas giant that is the second largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter, with 95 times the mass of Earth. A new instrument attached to the Keck Telescope in Hawaii enabled the team to detect the smaller planets. Heidi Hammell, a scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado maintains that this is a critical step toward finding terrestrial-sized planets orbiting other stars. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The discovery of Saturn-sized objects is an extremely critical step towards finding terrestrial-type planets. We are now as we've said pushing boundaries that we have not pushed before and so that is why we are all very excited about today's results." SUPER CAPTION: Heidi Hammell, scientist at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colorado Current technology will never be able to detect Earth-sized planets, but astronomers suggest said that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is developing a program to eventually be able to visually detect worlds beyond the sun.

Nepal hosted one of the Worlds most unusual Championships, an International challenge of Jumbo proportions for the 28th World Elephant Polo Championships. The tournament which is normally played on the edge of the famous Royal Chitwan National Park, moved to a new location, this time Karnali Lodge in Bardia National Park in the West of Nepal. This drew 12 international teams from across the globe including host nation Nepal, USA, Thailand, Australia, Scotland and for the first time United Arab Emirates and Austria. The sport was founded nearly 30 years ago by two British adventurers Jim Edwards and James Manclark. Sadly, earlier this year Jim Edwards died but his beloved Elephant Polo Championships continue.Its rules have evolved over the last 2 decades and the game now has its own governing body; World Elephant Polo Association (WEPA).

During match play the rivalry is fierce as the teams demonstrate their skills and strategy to gain a tactical advantage. But as soon as the games are over the rivalry retreats as the victors are modest in their success, the losers gracious in defeat.

After a week of intensive competition amongst the 12 teams, the final lined up a challenge of jumbo proportions. Throughout the tournament, huge crowds of spectators gathered and the eagerly anticipated final was no exception. The world-renowned National Parks team (Nepal) began with a 1goal deficit on handicap, but enjoyed a strong start to the match establishing a 5-3 lead at half time. Despite a long period of dominant possession by the Thai team (Tepa – Anantara) and a number of clear opportunities they failed to convert and were ultimately punished by a couple of late breakaway scores from the mercurial Chandra Tamang, captain of the National Parks team. The Final score was 7 to 4 to The National Parks team and the immense crowd of spectators celebrated their victory over the weekend. But as always it was the gentle giants of the Jungle, the elephants, who stole the show, they clearly enjoyed their role and proved to be the real stars of the tournament.
