Elephant Recieves Prostetic Leg

Posted by 2Nick on September 2, 2011 at 9:33am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

At the Mae Yao Reserve in Thailand, an elephant named Motala is an animal there who has only 3 legs. He lost his leg by stepping on a landmine and was rescued by an elephant hospital. He recently recieved a prostetic leg and is doing just fine. Comments?

Wow, that is really cool that we have the technology to help out other animals other than ourselves.... After all, it is human's fault that the elephant lost the leg in the first place. In my opinion it was our responsibility to develop something like that.

That must be one heavy duty prostetic leg they have their to be able to hold some of the elephants weight. I am sure that elephant is glad to have to help him walk.
