Description

This is Kabu's first experience in wearing a prosthetic support for her dislocated ankle. The injury happened many years ago when she was a child accompanying her mother in a logging area. She has already adapted to her disability, long before she arrived at Elephant Nature Park. The medical team was concerned about her ankle, and the pressure on the joint as she gets older. The prosthetic brace is designed to assist Kabu's step. Matters like this always take some time for adjustment for the best fit and useful application. We are so grateful to Bionic Pets and Gentle Giants for helping some of our disabled animals to walk more confidently. Learn More: http://www.saveelephant.org/

  • CharMaine Added I've seen Kabu before and I wondered what could possibly have happened to jazz up her leg. Elephant leg bones have to be immensely thick. Oh, I do hope and pray they get a better design for her. Brilliant people can do amazing things with animal prosthetics. I'm looking forward to seeing "the rest of the story". With a happy ending, of course.
