No more Marius! Copenhagen Zoo partially blamed Disney for the uproar that followed its decision to euthanise the young giraffe last year, and now it has changed its naming policy to ensure the animals will no longer have 'human' names. Meet Pilan the rhino, who is named after a national park. http://cphpost.dk/copenhagen-zoo-dropping-person-names/
The mother of these three recently-born Siberian tiger cubs at Odense Zoo has to eat an extra ten kilos of meat a week in order to accommodate their suckling demands. Sounds like a good trade-off to us. http://cphpost.dk/rare-tigers-born-in-denmark/
No, it's not a joke about depth charge farts or a small willy, it's a reminder that slowing down might save you from a monster speeding fine this week. The police are out in force all week confident they'll hand out an obscene amount of tickets. So don't give them an excuse! http://cphpost.dk/cops-targeting-speeders-this-week/
The Danes are the funniest people in the Nordics, according to a survey of the region, and the Finns the least humorous. Although we're not sure that really comes across at Eurovision (photo: Beeld en Geluidwiki). What do you think? http://cphpost.dk/danes-voted-funniest-in-the-north/
A party in Kødbyen tomorrow co-organised by two microbreweries (Mikkeller in Copenhagen and 3Floyds in Chicago) will be giving away 1,000 litres of beer accompanied by a Texan-style smoky barbecue. All free, from 3pm to celebrate the opening of the new Warpigs restaurant http://cphpost.dk/beers-beatniks-and-a-barbie/
Calling all new arrivals! You might have never had an allergy before, but could change when the birch pollen hits the country later this month. Some 20 percent of the population are allergic to birch pollen and with good reason - the figures are astronomically high in Denmark, particularly around Copenhagen. http://cphpost.dk/birch-pollen-season-to-strike-again/
One of our fearless journalists is getting into shape. No, seriously, she's not just saying that because the sun's shining and she can already sense the warm sand beneath her feet and applause from sun-worshippers in awe of her majesty. She really means it. So tune in every week between now and July (at our website and Instagram page) to check out her progress. http://cphpost.dk/you-better-shape-up-so-you-need-a-plan/
Pacman (originally called Puckman but witty vandals kept on changing the P to a F) is devouring Copenhagen and you can play too. Click on the link below to try it out (and how it has devoured our old website) http://cphpost.dk/devour-copenhagen-using-pacman-on-google…/
The graduate trailers, which traditionally take over the streets in June full of screaming teenagers, apparently contravene EU vehicle safety regulations. They're on a one-way street – the way of the dodo. http://cphpost.dk/…/end-of-the-road-for-trucks-of-screaming…
Looking for a good way to entertain the kids in Copenhagen this Easter holiday? Try 'Body Parts', a rather macabre play courtesy of Uppercut Danseteater in which bedtime stories morph into a twisted reality.Tickets are selling fast for performances over the next three days. http://cphpost.dk/…/easters-come-early-for-kids-in-the-city…
The famous Greenpeace icebreaker 'Arctic Sunrise', the ship seized by Russian authorities for the best part of 2013, is mooring up in Copenhagen and the public are invited to come aboard for a tour this weekend. http://cphpost.dk/…/greenpeace-icebreaker-arctic-sunrise-mo…
Feeding of the 5,000! To celebrate its 25th anniversary on April 2, the butter spread Kærgården is handing out free goods – 5,000 free birthday buns and chocolate milk – from 10am at Copenhagen Central Station. Now, that's what you call a good spread! http://cphpost.dk/…/kaergaarden-planning-a-feeding-of-the-5…
Filming of 'The Danish Girl' is going on right now in Nyhavn, the old harbour area of Copenhagen. With Eddie Redmayne on board, it looks like it could be one of 2015's biggest films, so do you fancy a role as a passer-by? http://cphpost.dk/…/stars-descend-on-nyhavn-for-the-danish-…
April's coming and with it the team sport season. Click on the link below to find about how you can play football, cricket, rugby union, rugby league, American football, Gaelic football, netball, softball, Aussie rules, lacrosse, roller derby and kabaddi. http://cphpost.dk/…/bats-balls-and-rollerskates-a-club-for-…
On the first day of spring, my true love sent to me: four types of football, three variations of rugby, two baseball substitutes and a skater on a killing spree
It's hard to believe that the city we all know and love could have been the scene of so much carnage just 70 years ago this weekend. In the first of a series of pieces looking back at the final months of WWII, a survivor of "the greatest tragedy Denmark has ever known" recalls the fateful day. http://cphpost.dk/…/seventy-years-on-a-first-hand-account-o…
Quite likely we'll wake up to snow tomorrow morning – just a small sprinkling, but temperatures will plummet to minus 5 across the whole country on Saturday night. Apparently we have Greenland to thank! http://cphpost.dk/…/greenland-sending-denmark-an-unwelcome-…
