A rogue kangaroo tried to drown a dog and then viciously attacked its owner when he launched a rescue bid, Australian paramedics said.
The kangaroo held the dog under water at a dam near Melbourne and left deep lacerations across the 49-year-old owner’s face and body when he risked his neck to save his pet.
“The 49-year-old dived into the dam and managed to free his dog but he was injured in the process,” paramedic Michael Vosbergen said.
“He suffered a deep cut across his abdomen, a deep cut across his face and eye and a number of scratches to his chest, face and arms.”
The man was treated at a nearby hospital after the incident last week.
Kangaroo attacks are relatively rare. In March, a stray kangaroo burst through the window of a suburban Canberra home and rampaged through the house. It was eventually subdued by the homeowner who pinned it to the floor in a headlock and forced it out of the house.
The only known human fatality is a New South Wales hunter who was killed in 1936 when he tried to rescue his dogs from a kangaroo.

澳洲醫護人員表示，一隻行為失常的袋鼠試圖淹死一隻狗，然後這隻袋鼠又趁狗主人營救小狗時，惡意攻擊這位飼主。
這隻袋鼠在鄰近墨爾本的一座水壩把這隻狗壓到水面下，四十九歲的飼主冒著生命危險去搶救愛犬時，臉和身上都被袋鼠嚴重抓傷。
醫護人員麥可．福斯柏根說：「四十九歲的飼主跳進水壩中搶救他的狗，但過程中卻受了傷。」
「他的腹部有一道很深的傷口，臉頰和眼睛間也有一道深深的傷痕，胸部、臉部和手臂上都傷痕累累。」
上週這起意外發生後，男子被送到鄰近一家醫院治療。
袋鼠攻擊事件相當罕見。今年三月間，一隻野生袋鼠破窗闖入坎培拉郊區一間民宅，並在房子裡橫衝直撞。最後屋主用臂膀夾住牠的頭，將牠制伏在地，趕出屋外。
唯一一起袋鼠傷人致死事故發生在一九三六年，當時新南威爾斯一名獵人企圖從袋鼠手中救出他的狗，結果卻不幸喪生。

US President Donald Trump on Monday last week signed the TAKE IT DOWN ACT (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act), bipartisan legislation that enacts stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called “revenge porn,” as well as deepfakes created by artificial intelligence. The measure, which goes into effect immediately, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and later gained the support of First Lady Melania Trump. Critics of the measure, which addresses both real and artificial intelligence-generated imagery, say
In today’s digital age, every click and swipe generates data, and the need for reliable and efficient data management has become critical. This is where data centers come into play. Data centers include servers, storage drives, networking equipment, and other hardware to manage, process, and store vast amounts of digital information. __1__ For that reason, some companies are pursuing an unusual idea: placing data centers under the surface of the ocean. What makes underwater data centers cheaper than traditional land-based ones? For one thing, the cool temperature of the ocean means that companies can cut down on the high cost of
Cats ruled in ancient Egypt—and not just in their own minds. These clever, graceful creatures were so deeply respected by the Egyptians that harming one could lead to severe punishment, even death. But why did the Egyptians hold cats in such high regard? It wasn’t just because they were cute; cats played a crucial role in protecting the country’s grain stores from pests. As guardians of Egypt’s food supply, they were seen as sacred animals. The Egyptians honored them through Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of protection, the home and fertility. Egyptians didn’t just love cats; they worshipped them. Cats lived in luxury,
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Despite these advantages, there are still some challenges when it comes to housing data centers under the ocean. One problem is that they’re difficult to access for repair or replacement. __4__ This presents a significantly higher level of complexity than handling traditional land-based data centers. Another challenge is energy reliability. Many underwater data centers rely on offshore renewable energy sources, which can be unstable due to environmental factors. While underwater data centers offer exciting possibilities, overcoming the associated challenges is essential to realizing their full potential. 儘管有這些優勢，在海底安置資料中心仍存在一些難關。一個問題是難以進入水下資料中心進行修理或更換。這需要派人員到水下或將資料中心運送到維修站。這比處理傳統的陸上資料中心還要複雜許多。另一個難關是能源可靠性。許多水下資料中心依賴近海再生能源，而這些能源可能會因環境因素而不穩定。雖然水下資料中心提供了令人興奮的可能性，但要充分發揮其潛力，克服相關的難題是相當重要的。 What Did You Learn?
