The Whiz Times found some really awesome pictures last week and are thrilled to share them with you. Let us know which is your favourite!

  Tourists enjoy the 141 bear sculptures displayed on Leme beach in Rio de Janeiro, on May 2, 2014. The Beware of bears on the loose in Brazil! Just kidding! These bear sculptures are on display on Leme beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are called "Buddy Bears" and stand 2 metres tall. Each of the 141 bear sculptures represents a country and symbolizes the idea of a peaceful world. The "Buddy Bears" will be on display until July 20, 2014.

AFP PHOTO / LEON NEAL These Playmobil figures are huge! How on earth are these children going to play with them? These giant Playmobil figures aren't really for play, actually. They are displayed in London, Britain, on April 30, 2014, as part of the toy company's 40th anniversary celebrations.

Japanese fans of Godzilla say the newly-unveiled monster, set to star in a Hollywood reboot of the post-war classic, is too fat and has been "ROOOAAARR!" Godzilla turns 60 years old this year! This is a 1-metre tall statue of Godzilla on display at a Godzilla art exhibition in Tokyo, Japan, on May 2, 2014. The new version of Godzilla will be slimmer and will star in a new 3D movie. The new movie will be released in the United States on May 16 and in Japan in July.

Some 1,200 carp streamers fluttered along the river as part of an annual event for Japan's week-long holidays, Golden Week.

Some eight hours dusty drive from the nearest major settlement, tucked into the eastern corner of Turkmenistan and unknown to the outside world until the second half of the last century, lies one of the most mythical yet least visited spots in the former Soviet Union. Turkmenistan's Plateau of the Dinosaurs is the location of one of the most magnificent collections of fossilised dinosaur tracks anywhere on Planet Earth, which only became known to Soviet palaeontologists in the 1950s. AFP PHOTO /IGOR SASIN The real "Jurassic Park". This is a fossilised dinosaur track on Turkmenistan's Plateau of the Dinosaurs which has one of the largest collections of fossilised dinosaur tracks anywhere on Planet Earth. Around 2,500 dinosaur tracks have been discovered here. Some tracks measure up to 70 centimetres long! AFP PHOTO /IGOR SASIN
