The Elephant With a Prosthetic Foot

There is hope for Humanity when we see things like this.


In 2007, orphaned baby elephant Chhouk was found wandering alone in the forests of Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia.

Badly emaciated and separated from his mother, this endangered Asian elephant had lost his left front foot due to injuries sustained from a poacher's snare.

Now his lifestyle has improved with the help of a prosthetic foot.

Today, Chhouk is a healthy bull elephant, able to take long walks in the forest, frolic in the pool, and play with his adopted big sister Lucky.

Brought tears to my eyes - elephants are wonderful animals, such respect for them ....

Re: Chhouk: The Elephant With a Prosthetic Foot

A nice story. I hold the view that in ordinary circumstances most people are good but in exceptional circumstances most people are capable of being bad. Just look at what is happening in Syria !

Re: Chhouk: The Elephant With a Prosthetic Foot

That brought a lump to my throat ..... I would never have thought it possible for an elephant to have a prosthetic foot.

Amazing!
