Everyone gets that it’s

cool to recycle, but

would you expect a dog

to know that? Tubby

the Labrador retriever

holds the record for

the most bottles

recycled by a dog.

Tubby collected more

than 26,000 plastic

bottles, crushing them

with his teeth before

handing them over to

his owner for recycling.

Why? The pooch

preferred fetching

bottles over sticks

during his walks. Tubby

wasn’t just yellow—he

was also green!

This is one weird-looking sea creature.

Pedaling 218 feet below the ocean’s

surface, Vittorio Innocente of Italy holds

the record for the deepest underwater

bicycle ride. First, Innocente mounted

his special water-adapted mountain

bike. (The tires are filled with water

and the rims are fitted with fins.) Then

he pedaled the length of about three

soccer fields—no bike helmet needed.
