Many New Zealanders are likely missing their mates right now, perhaps some people have even become better (or worse) friends with their flatmates during this time.
Meanwhile, at HUHA animal rescue Franklin the donkey and Fergus the lamb have become the unlikeliest of friends.

Legendary kiwi actor Sam Neill didn't know how to feel about Lego's decisions on this Jurassic Park set.
