Meet Motala! This 48-year old elephant used to work in Thailand moving large trees when she stumbled upon a land mine that destroyed her left foot and some of her leg. After her owners tried to save her leg by amputation, she got a temporary prothesis to help her learn how to walk on a new artificial leg.

She was recently fitted for her new leg thanks to the conservation group, Friends of the Asian Elephant. They also released some absolutely heartwarming photos of Motala learning how to walk with her new leg!




Thanks to Crave, for pointing us in the direction of a video of Motala's fitting and first steps!!
