Did You Know? A three year old Asian elephant whose front left foot was caught in a trap is able to walk again after he was fitted with a prosthetic foot. After cutting away 5 inches of infected tissue, surgeons in Cambodia made a cast of Chhouk's stump so that a false foot could be created. He needed no anesthetic while the limb was being attached, just a steady supply of turnips and bananas.
