Visit the Bionic Elephant
Safari holidays are a growing trend, more and more people want to jump onto the plane and head to Africa to go on a dream safari. Whilst you are there you are there you are bound to get to see some great animals such as lions, leopards, cheaters and not to mention the adorable elephants.
But let's dedicate this article to one brave elephant in Thailand called Mosha who is currently 3 years old. Mosha the elephant ended up losing part of her frontal leg when she walked onto a land mine. She was taken to the clinic, where it was told she would not make it until an amputation expert fitted a bionic leg.
It would have been terrible situation to see an elephant die so young, simply because they have the same lifespan as people. Mosha has just been recently placed with a new artificial leg after out growing her first one. The leg is made of some great materials so it offers that special piece of comfort for the elephant. Mosha had to have her old fake leg changed because of the sudden increase in weight and overall growth.
She now eats a ridiculous amount of food, indicating that she is a healthy elephant.Its great news to hear because when the damage first happened other Asian elephants did not want to gonext to Mosha and instantly rejected her, causing her not to eat, but they have now all bonded and in all honesty she is a very happy and healthy elephant. So remember Mosha when you are looking at beautiful elephants whilst on your exotic Kenya holidays.
