Two tiny leopard cubs become the latest additions at zoo in war-torn Yemen

The lives of the adorable cubs are hanging by a thread after campaigners said food supplies at the zoo, in the city of Taiz, southern Yemen, will run out in a week. Taiz Zoo is currently home to 26 Arabian leopards and the survival of the new cubs is paramount for the species with only 80 of the big cats still alive in the wild. But with Yemen locked in a bloody civil war, there are fears they will soon die of starvation. The cubs, who are yet to be named and were born to an Arabian leopard called Fedhah, are reportedly under round-the-clock guard after two previous sets of cubs born at the zoo in the last six months went missing.

The Santa Clara-based firm has recently acquired German makers of flight planning software and launched its Shooting Star drones, which so could create 'four billion colour combinations'. The small quadcopters are lightweight and have encased propellers, to protect stray fingers from coming to any harm. At just 280 grams, the drones can stay in the air for up to 20 minutes and can even fly in the rain.
