One more great idea from furniture manufacturers, IKEA: few days ago they have launched its "Wildhomes for Wildlife" project, which asks local artists to create a series of animal homes, crafted from upcycled Ikea furniture. As part of the project, tables, lamps and chairs have been transformed into plush pads for blue tits, bats and bees. "Now," Ikea says, "all of our new neighbours can enjoy an amazing home. Even our furry, feathered and flying friends." Big like from us! Via: It's Nice That

How do you record the most intimate moments in the animal kingdom? If you're a clever English bloke, you build lookalike "spy creatures." Filmmaker John Downer has spent much of his life capturing footage of wildlife, but it wasn't until he and his team created robotic animals with built-in spy cameras that he was able to record rare footage of animal behavior in the wild, essentially from the perspective of the animal.
