Speaking of things that smell bad -- and if you eat asparagus
you know what we mean -- the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne,
Australia is causing quite the stink. A rare sumatran flower has
bloomed and it's scent is not all that sweet. People say it
smells like a rotting corpse. The plant blooms once every six
years -- and only lasts for two days. And finally it looks like
we aren't the only ones keeping warm by the fire this holiday
season. These monkeys at a zoo in central Japan are also
gathering around a fire to keep the cold at bay. The flames
don't just keep the animals toasty. Zookeepers also use the fire
to bake sweet potatoes for the monkeys. As you can see, the
treats are a big hit with the animal.
