This photo shows a previous Miss Sweetie Poo in action, helping 2002 Ig Nobel biology prize winner Charles Paxton finish his acceptance speech. Paxton and three colleagues were honored for their study called report “Courtship Behaviour of Ostriches Towards Humans Under Farming Conditions in Britain.”
