The conspiracy theorist in me suspects the the internet show is merely a smokescreen for a bigger cyber experiment... one that has to do with the battleship war games v.s. the U.S. along the Taiwan Strait. After all, the Chinese navy is officially in "war-ready" mode:

Probably not a great time to buy greenback (current USD/CNY = 6.9685). Increased 700 pips in the previous month alone.

but if you must, just walk up to any currency sellers sporting massive handbags loitering in front of Bank of China at the intersection of 北京路 and 人民中路, or across from 顺城. They will take you inside the bank to make the exchange in case you worry about counterfeits. Their interest rates will be a tad better than the banks.

300 meters, not 3km of damaged bikes:

Btw, two of the wealthiest CEOs in China have already invested in these companies. Alibaba is one of the lead investors in Ofo, while Tencent in Mobike. They are here to stay.

Years before these startups began, UBikes were proven to be a success in Taipei. These Chinese counterparts reversed engineered them into dockless shared bikes, which IMO are much more convenient for riders, albeit "tragedy of the commons" in the mainland ensued as expected.

"Gray wolf weight varies geographically; on average, European wolves may weigh 38.5 kg (85 lb), North American wolves 36 kg (79 lb) and Indian and Arabian wolves 25 kg (55 lb). Females in any given wolf population typically weigh 5–10 lb (2.3–4.5 kg) less than males."

Okay, so these prehistoric otters are more massive... especially compared to the wolves (Canidae lineage) of the Miocene era:

@dolphin

Different epochs I presume. T-rex dinosaurs roamed the earth 60 million years before these giant otters.

"Bigger and more powerful than wolves?" WTF?! Look at that ferocious set of cutlery. So much for cuteness.

Just saw a Youtube video of a pack of tiny, adorable otters trying to take down a zoo keeper. Vestigial predatory instincts on full display.
