Michelle Obama has famously cultivated a vegetable garden at the White House.</li> <li>It's heading a migration of cranes in a hang-glider - Putin was photographed bare-chested on horseback in 2008 and in the same year apparently sedated a tiger, although this version of events is disputed.</li> <li>It's Lebanon.
