Used to do fire walks and glass walks with a company called MIB-UK - no, Lego is NOT more painful, it just SEEMS more painful because you aren't prepared for walking on it (for the most part...

"Wolf" isn't a term with any specific taxonomic meaning. Unrelated canines like the gray wolf and maned wolf are both called wolves. All canines are called either wolves, dogs, jackals, or foxes (also "coyote," the American jackal, "dhole," the Asiatic wild dog, and "culpeo," the Andean fox). However, whether a particular species is called a "dog," "fox," or "wolf" is somewhat arbitrary and based mostly on size. African wild dogs are large canines, and if people call them "painted wolves," I guess that makes them wolves.
The nk's also "made" a smaller copy of Tiananmen square but when a comedian visiting it went there he told the guide "sorry but it's a little smaller." The guide burst into tears after a few more attempts to point this out. North koreas a truly magical place.
Some Tabby Cats have marks on their eyebrows so that when they are asleep it looks like their eyes are open. It doesn't show well in photos but look at a real one some time.
The Qi Elves are almost never wrong. I guess those Cape Hunting Dogs have secretly transmogrified into wolves. The CHD is beautiful and ugly at the same time. Hyenas are just ugly, ugly, so much so, even their "humour" cannot save them.
0:59 - If that's in Botswana, then there are no gray wolves there, although there are painted wolves (African wild dogs). However, painting eyes onto the rear ends of cattle is more for deterring lions than any other carnivore. As for Andrew's fact about Iberian wolves looking like their front from behind, I've never heard of that before. Can anyone verify this?

In the same style as the largest table, perhaps.

Well, I guess it all depends how large the original is and how much they've scaled it down!
Either way, it will still be a table.

I like how Sandi calls the people, that work behind the camera, Elves :)
Not just Sandi, Stephen always referred to the QI Elves too.
They’re listed that way in the closing credits.
The world's largest table is 2 miles long? That's more interesting a fact than that someone made a replica of it.
