Unsportsfanlike Conduct of the Day: Rafael Nadal may have lost the longest Grand Slam singles final ever to Novak Djokovic, but I bet he doesn’t feel half as bad as the girl who had Djokovic’s shirt snatched from her by a selfish Australian Open spectator.

Silent Week, Great Showdowns
The calendar kiosk at the mall had calendars on sale for $1, so we grabbed a squirrel-a-month calendar for Anubis. (I know, cruel!) He was curious, but not thrilled. “What the hell are those squirrels doing in the house?”
He did attack the calendar on the wall once already.

Working aquatic-elephants like Rajan used to be a regular sight in the Andaman Islands, south of India, but this 60-year-old five tonne Asian elephant is the last of his kind. Thanks to the introduction of motor boats and other energy-saving technology, Rajan no longer needs to swim miles between islands to work for his masters, but can now enjoy swimming purely for pleasure. Rajan still swims for ten minutes twice a day, completing about 500 yards before heading back to shore. Brazilian Photographer, Daniel Botelho, 30, travelled to the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean after hearing stories of islanders swimming with the giant beasts. He said: “I almost got killed by the elephant during one photo shoot. Suddenly a swell came and took me and the elephant by surprise. I was stuck in the sand because of the crash of the wave. He did his best not to kill me - I felt him rolling on top and away from me.” Picture: Daniel Botelho / Barcroft Media
