A SERIES of animal challenges are to be held at Edinburgh Zoo in the run up to the Beijing Olympic Games.
The Zoolympics will celebrate the athletic feats of the animal kingdom, with visitors able to find out whether creatures such as hunting dogs and penguins could compete with the world's top human athletes.

People will have the chance to pit themselves against animals in tests such as standing on one leg, as well as the long jump, high jump and other Olympic events from July 28 to August 10.
