An 8-year-old kitty named Alexis has broken the world record for the most tricks performed by a cat in one minute.

The feline, owned by Austria resident Anika Moritz, achieved a total of 26 tricks, according to Guinness World Records. Moritz started training Alexis at just 12 weeks old.

Great feets — er, feats — of dentistry.

Triumph, a koala born without a foot, was recently fitted with a prosthetic one crafted by a neighborho­od dentist.

The joey koala was rescued by veterinari­an Marley Christian in New South Wales, Australia, in 2017, after she found him lying next to his dying mother with three feet and a protruding bone in place of the fourth.

Dental prosthetis­t Jon Doulman volunteere­d to take on the case, and now Triumph can climb and run.

This Canadian cabinetmak­er is also a maker of massive vegetables.

Damien Allard of Quebec has grown the world’s heaviest turnips, according to Guinness World Records.

Allard’s turnips weighed in at 50 pounds, 53 pounds and 63 pounds. All three broke the previous record of 39 pounds.

“It’s been two years that I have been working quite intensely on my turnips . . . but I never thought I would have been more than 10 kilos above the old record,” Allard said.

A dog in Ecorse, Mich., was finally rescued after spending four days stranded on the ice of the Detroit River.

Rescuers, who saved the pooch using an airboat, said they believe the dog ended up on the ice after being chased by a coyote.
