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. Polar bear's icy plunge
A photographer was lucky enough to capture the moment a polar bear jumped from a ledge at a wildlife Zoo in St Felicien,
Quebec, Canada. Viewers of the photo gave him or her a whopping 10 out 10 on the dive.
1. That London riot photo
This dramatic image showing a terrified pyjama-clad victim of arson Monika Konczyk, 32, leaping from a Croydon flat
made the front pages of international newspapers and has been hailed as deserving a Pulitzer Prize.
The Polish woman escaped unharmed as she landed in the arms of police officers below.
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.
Although some critics questioned the legitimacy of the shot, the sightseer and the boat company
Woman kisses lion
Daring Ana Julia Torres shared a magical moment with Jupiter the lion at a Colombian animal shelter in September.
Torres, a 52-year-old teacher, founded the Villa Lorena shelter 17 years ago, which protects about 600 animals
seized from drug and animal traffickers, circuses, or those abandoned by their owners.
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.
1. World's tallest puppy
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.
