The Youngest Ranger of Australia Wildlife Park

The Youngest Ranger of Australia Wildlife Park - Charlie Parker, 3, is the youngest ranger at Australia's Ballarat Wildlife Park outside Melbourne. He plays with gators, although under the watchful eye of his family, who operates the zoo.

Fearless Charlie Parker looks far from rattled as he comes face-to-face with a 10kg snake and while the youngster’s legs may wobble under the weight of Pablo – a 2.5m boa constrictor, the enormous reptile holds no fears for him.

In Russia for cars Golf class - a special relationship. This is the mass segment of the existing fleet and the most demanded part of the range of automobile showrooms. American concern Ford is in this niche is not the last place. No wonder - after the start of sales in Russia Ford Focus has become a bestseller. The car was appreciated by motorists in all countries of the former Soviet Union.

1. Recognizable and innovative design, ergonomic and comfortable cabin, reliability and democratic price - that was the first Focus. I had a chance to ride on the first-generation Ford Focus - This car really deserves the title of a hit-class golf. Most of the advantages of this model inherited Ford Focus II. However, the exterior of the car has not changed.

2. But restyled version, the user test which I had recently, compared to its predecessors noticeably prettier. But did the car to keep the best features and characteristics of predecessors? Let's see ...

3. Speaking about the design of the exterior, it should be noted that restaling was held truly global - except for the roof, in common with the base model of body parts in the new Focus is left. Skin and meets new concept, being the embodiment of the concept of "kinetic design". The front part of the car began to resemble a "big brother" Mondeo . Lights stretched out, and now they give the car kind of gambling. A further false radiator grille gives solidity.

4. Behind the change is not so noticeable - all done in the traditional style, strictly, but with taste. I must say that looks refreshed in the Focus hatchback and sedan produce completely different emotions. Looking for sedan know - that he is a typical representative of the middle-class cars. But the exterior hatch seemed to me somehow more "hot", especially the back of the car ...

5. Now the drawbacks - in my opinion, the excess chrome highlights appears, contrary to the designers, cheap and commonplace. And even though "my" Focus all this tinsel eyes completely rushed through a white background, I note that the black cells with no unnecessary frills would have looked much more harmonious.

6. As for planting - feeling worthy of the middle class, no worse and no better than classmates - everything is acceptable and quite ordinary. Behind the wheel to master quickly, I have to get used to the seat and controls took less than 10 minutes. Concerning registration of the front panel can not say that I liked it - a bright and stylish. In this case, the instrument panel is not overloaded with information, everything in moderation informative. Shiny bezel dial, of course, is not the best solution, but it looks much better than the exterior chrome elements.

7. During the test, the Ford Focus had to make a trip to the northern capital - and so the distance between St. Petersburg and Moscow I overcame nonstop, but getting behind the wheel in St. Petersburg, fatigue hardly felt. By the way, the car is very roomy trunk - 537 liters. Capacity frankly pleased, especially considering that the average in golf class is about 500 liters.

8. During an impromptu test drive two minor remember, but not very nice details - constantly burning low tire pressure sensor (DDS) and the backlight of the dashboard, stubbornly refuses to fade when the car is locked. Otherwise, no complaints at all - nor the quality of materials, no gaps between the elements, nor ergonomics and interior design does not cause rejection. Yes, nothing supernatural in the cabin Ford Focus No, it is a Class car and its price, as I had expected. No, not really enough multimedia buttons made on the steering wheel spokes. The absence of this component was a surprise - this option has long been the norm for many automakers.

10. Now with regard to security - before get inside the car, I carefully studied the arsenal Focus in the field of security. Well, of course, that test the proper equipment was not necessary, but the results of crash texts euroncap.com I looked carefully. The results of these inspire confidence and peace of mind, while 5 stars Euro NCAP said that the Focus provides the highest possible level of security.

11.

12. Here's a short list of security systems in the Ford Focus configuration Titanium: airbag driver and passenger, side airbags, ABS, EBD, EBA, ESP and IPS. For incomprehensible acronyms hiding advanced technology that saved during its existence thousands of lives. In short, in matters of security Ford Focus deserves only praise.

15. Let us turn to the engine and transmission. I was granted a car is equipped with 1.6-liter Duratec Ti-VCT 115 hp The engine, to be honest, made a good impression - high-torque, throttle response, with a modest appetite, in short, a typical city workaholic. When paired with a five-speed engine mechanics shows good momentum, although the "lower classes" there is some deficiency "thrust." However, at medium and high speeds the car accelerates well, and the slug was not looking.

17. To the delight of many fans of the brand, the suspension in the new Ford Focus has remained as reliable as its predecessors. Settings way, of course, say that the Focus - the car is not for amateurs "drive." Cornering, pinching the accelerator pedal, you will notice a tendency to drift back axis of the car, but at the same time banks are small. Well tuned suspension, the main benefit from the time of the first focus, energy, present in full. Anyway, I've never felt even a hint of the sample, even though we had the opportunity to travel around Ford Focus, including a completely "dead" roads.

20. It often happens that after restyling cars lose that same flavor that distinguished them from the competition. However, transformed Ford Focus remained, as before, charismatic, original and stylish. The car is still perfectly happy owners of reconciling the balance between the options, equipment and capabilities of the car.

21. Focus - is one of the best in its class. Not surprisingly, this is a family car sales leader for the past 10 years. I must say that these cars on the road - thousands, so that the enormous popularity of Ford Focus - not just words. Having presented his vision of the concept of "modern car of the middle class," the company Ford presented a real hit, deservedly enjoys high demand.
