A centenarian adrenaline junkie, soaring scientists who teach birds to fly, Kiwi artists celebrated at the Paralympics, and surf lifesavers breaking records on the Gold Coast.
102-year-old thrill seeker
The sky's the limit for this centenarian daredevil.
At 102 years old, Manette Baillie has become Britain's oldest skydiver. The jump from 2133m raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity.
The former military veteran said she "doesn't do fear".
Soaring scientists
They say birds of a feather flock together — but apparently, so do scientists.
After being brought back from extinction, the Northern Bald Ibis has forgotten its migration route.
Scientists have stepped up as flight instructors, leading the long journey from Germany to Spain.

Art administrator Alex McPherson said the exhibition celebrates diversity.
"There's a lot of people who can't express themselves verbally, but they express themselves through art."
David Dawson, an artist born in Korea and living in Ōtautahi, will also be attending.

The hard work has paid off for the Black Fins, who have placed second overall.
Captain Cory Taylor said he's incredibly proud of the team.
