Leopard enters school in India

Teachers and students of a private school in Chikkamagaluru, India, were left shocked after a leopard entered the grounds of their school. Three people were injured after the animal pounced on them before treading into the school premises.

They managed to get the leopard locked inside a room with a cage at the door while they waited for a team of veterinarians to arrive. The leopard was spotted earlier in the morning in the heart of the city before it later moved to the school. A person, who spotted the animal in the city, suffered minor injuries as it pounced on him in the morning.

The school management had declared a holiday and sent the students home. As the news of the leopard entering the school premises spread, hundreds of people gathered around the school. The police were busy controlling the large crowds.


 

The House in the Cliff

Houses on top of cliffs can be a bit scary but have some pretty stunning views. Would you live in a house inside a cliff?!A pair of Greek architects built a beautiful house on the side of a cliff with an amazing view from a scary height.

Laertis Antonios Ando Vassiliou and Pantelis Kampouropoulos built the cliff house with a roof-top pool (which is actually at ground level) and underground walls which helps keep the house warm in winter and cool in the summer.There is no doubt that the home is stunning but would you be brave enough to live in the side of a cliff?










 

Bionic eye fitted to patient

Surgeons in England have performed the world's first bionic eye implant on a patient with sight loss. The patient had dry age-related mascular degeneration. Over time the patient lost his central vision until it was completely gone.

An 80-year-old Manchester man, Ray Flynn, had only peripheral vision before the surgery. He could not see things directly in front of him. But thanks to the special glasses and a retinal implant in his eye, his sight improved.

The glasses hold a small camera that sends video images as electrical pulses to electrodes implanted at the back of his eye. The retina of the eye then passes this visual information to his brain.

Age-related muscular degeneration affects at least half a million people in Britain alone so the bionic eye is a huge step forward in the medical world.
