Dutch zoo fits elephant with contact lens
 An elephant in Amsterdam's zoo has made history after being fitted with a jumbo-sized contact lens following an eye injury, a statement said Monday."Win Thida is the first elephant in Europe with a contact lens," the Artis zoo said on its website. The 44-year-old Asian elephant accidently scratched its left cornea while playing and the eye was constantly watering. The procedure lasted about an hour, the statement said.
