Michelle Obama grew an afro


The USA's First Lady unintentionally caused a lot of smiles from this photo after she stood in front of a rather large plant.

At first glance, it appears that Michelle Obama grew an afro as she watched Queen Elizabeth II

sign a guest book during their trip to the UK in May.

1. That London riot photo


This dramatic image showing a terrified pyjama-clad victim of arson Monika Konczyk, 32, leaping from a Croydon flat

1. The giant crocodile


A 18-ft long three-legged crocodile wowed the Web in July after a tourist photograph capturing its

freakishly large stature emerged online. The striking creature named Brutus - which looks as though

he is a special effect in a film - was said to be a starring attraction of a riverboat cruise in the Adelaide River, Australia.

Woman kisses lion

Daring Ana Julia Torres shared a magical moment with Jupiter the lion at a Colombian animal shelter in September.

Torres rescued Jupiter from a circus 12 years ago.

World's longest sea bridge


A breathtaking image of the worlds longest cross-sea bridge stretching 26 miles made our top images of the year.

The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge was opened at the end of June in China's eastern city of Qingdao with a

total investment of more than 10 billion yuan (£930m) and greatly shortens the time from downtown Qingdao to its outlying regions.

1. That Vancouver riot couple


This image of a couple 'kissing' one another in the middle of the Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver, Canada,

grabbed our attention back in June when it went viral across the Web. The photo, which was viewed millions of times

on Yahoo! News, was actually misleading because it turned out the pair weren't really canoodling.

Alexandra Thomas had actually been injured by police as they tried to flee the violence and her boyfriend Scott Jones was just trying to calm her down.

Yes this striking thing is only a puppy. Two-year-old Tahlia stands with York, a 97cm-tall Great Dane,

which is well on the way to becoming the world's biggest dog. Speaking about the Australian pup,

owner Dave Ryan predicts that the canine will eventually break the current world record

for the world's biggest dog, which stands at 109cm.
