Now, that's something you don't see every day. What's that, you ask? Just about anything in this week's issue of the h2g2 Post. Meet the Little Green People in Madrid, and find out why the weather's so weird there. Ooh and aah at more extinct critters you've never seen before. Admire the giants, and quiver before the potato hamster. You're not going to believe your eyes!
