A new angle on the rubber duck - the rubber whale, being used to train whale rescuers:
"A lifesize two-tonne pilot whale, made of rubber, is helping to train groups of marine rescue volunteers in Gwynedd.It really is a new angle on the rubber duck, and presumably one that works.
The course in Barmouth is being run with groups involved in rescuing seals and dolphins that become beached or injured...
[A spokesman said:] "The water-filled inflatable mammals we use are so lifelike that when the course has been run in the past, members of the public have offered to help, thinking they were real!"" (BBC)
