An amazing moment a brazen otter steals and struggles off with a 10lb salmon from a boat. The crafty creature manages to drag the fish up a steep flight of steps and then on to a pier before scarpering for safety. The remarkable footage was filmed by skipper David Lowe in Lerwick, Shetland. The salmon is at least as long as the otter - and may weigh more - but that doesn't deter the otter. Several times he can be seen almost dropping the fish into the water below and at one point he slips down the side of the stairway. (credit:Deadline News/REX)

Freestyle motocross riders The Bolddog Lings FMX Team perform a series of spectacular jumps over the Bloodhound SSC in the grounds of Wilton House, Wiltshire, ahead of this weekend's Wilton Classic and Supercar Show, sponsored by Castrol EDGE. The Castrol EDGE-sponsored Bloodhound - the 'SSC' stands for 'Super-Sonic Car' - will begin testing later this year, before RAF fighter pilot Andy Green attempts to break his 18-year-old record of 763mph in South Africa next year, aiming to go beyond 1,000mph. But for this weekend both Andy and the Bloodhound will be staying put in the Castrol Power Paddock at the show - unlike the Bolddog Ling motocross team, who will be performing more daredevil jumps on both Saturday and Sunday.
