3 year-old Sofia Walker comes face to face with Malik the lion at Wellington Zoo.
Malik’s keepers describe him as ‘a little bit stroppy.’
This kind of thing happens all the time, you know.

Addressing the Oireachtas Finance Committee, Josephine Feehily (above), said they had caused confusion and distress to some people, and she was extremely sorry for that.
However, Ms Feehily insisted the Revenue only wants to collect the correct amount of tax – no more, and no less.
Ms Feehily said they had to “move quickly” when they became aware that a large number of pensioners had either not declared their State pension or had under-reported it.
She said the Revenue had to correct the situation for the current tax year, and the lack of time became their “undoing”.
She said they were not able to implement changes with the standard of service they would have liked, and again apologised for that.

Isaacs Hostel in Frenchman’s Lane, Dublin, voted among the best hostels in the world, closed and locked its doors on Monday night after reportedly giving staff 24 hours notice.
From Lonely Planet:
”The northside’s best hostel – hell, for atmosphere alone it’s the best in town – is in a 200-year-old wine vault just around the corner from the main bus station. Friendly, secure and well stocked, it generates consistently good reviews from backpackers and other budget travellers’.”

Are you ready for a return to Goodfellas? Deadline reports that AMC will develop Martin Scorsese’s classic 1990 mob movie as a potential weekly series, and though Scorsese (who directed the pilot of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) isn’t involved with the project, the network did manage to secure returning player Nicholas Pileggi to script the show and Irwin Winkler to produce.
