Amazing Stories Around The World
What's up Doc? Meet Vincent the rabbit born without ears
Vincent
Have anyone out there seen a rabbit without ears? In North Yorkshire, UK, teenager John Haig thought a guinea pig had found its way into his family of young rabbits. When he looks closer at it, it was indeed a rabbit minus its ears! John named the rabbit as Vincent and he spotted Vincent when the youngsters (rabbits) emerged with their mother Rosie for the first time from their hutch at three weeks old. John's mother said the missing ears could be due to genetic defect and could possibly come down to the theory that his ears may have been bitten off by his mother. Female rabbits are known to attack their offspring if they are distressed (wow!)

The cat with purr-fect vision! Almost-blind moggie Ernest has his life transformed by wearing CONTACT LENS

Ernest
Yup, you read it right. Cat wearing contact lens. Indeed. Sounds ridiculous? Read on. 15 year-old black and white cat, Ernest suffers from entropion - an inward rolling of the eyelids, which causes inflammation and hinders sight. He has lived at the RSPCA (same concept as our very own SPCA) rescue centre in Godshill, Isle of Wight, UK for 13 years after he was injured in a car accident. According to the general manager of the rescue centre, Ernest was quite squinty (eyes turned in different direction) and had trouble seeing where he was going. So, they suggested on putting contact lenses on the old pet from a life-threatening operation. After putting on the contact lenses, Ernest's eyes have opened up and this has gave him a new lease of life. Wonder lenses.
