The QI Zoo is a delightful collection of animated and educational gifs about animals and their quirks.
I love this so much. It's a really novel use of the GIF and very well done. I want to see more 1-panel comic GIFs!

They humiliated the cows by having the sheep roll across the cattle grids which were stymieing them.

The artist who does these wacky gifs has his own site, where (if you go to Page 2 and scroll down), he had previous put on display various imaginative pop-culture 'mashup' pieces (many in animated 'neon' format). I hope somebody pays him to do more of these.

according to QI.com 'PETA, the fundamentalist US animal rights group, claims that cows can suffer from humiliation if people laugh at them. '
which apparently traces back to the PETA caseworker Amy Rhodes vs. Florida Southern College's Cow Bingo brouhaha, q.v.

I think it was Dr Ben Goldacre who raised this point about the show, on the show.

How do wombats poo cubes? This woman isn't sure, and her homemade wombat digestive tract didn't really help.

Also, our feet don't point backwards, so not like a human at all.

This reminds me of a special fact from QI: the theme from Top Gear is named Jessica.
According to Stephen Fry, this is the most interesting fact in the world.

Er, yes, it's a famous instrumental by the Allman Brothers. That's not really a special fact, is it? Or am I missing something.
