Now it's time to wake up and watch the wacky animal stories from the week...

It's a mad dash down an Abu Dhabi highway... Likewise for the barefoot man trying to catch the camel!

Witnesses could not confirm whether the man ever did catch the runaway, but it sure made for some in-car entertainment.

Sandwiches are known for being easy to make... but for a fox?!

This one in Russia's Chernobyl was up for the challenge. Not surprisingly, a video of the sandwich-making fox has gone viral, with over a million hits online.

Hoping to hear the pitter-patter of tiny panda feet, scientists at the National Zoo in Washington, DC have performed two artificial inseminations on their female giant panda.

They say it's all in hopes of preserving the genetic diversity of the panda population in human care.
