Young Elephant Gets New Prosthesis - It's great to have a reminder that there are still good people in the world.

Awww, that made me tear up. I love elephants - such intelligent creatures.

I've thought for some time now that I would like to start a blog for our future alien overlords, showing them that humans can and will do cool things for species other than our own. This would be an entry to said still-imaginary blog. Thanks deborah for such a great link.

Not a bad idea, msali!

I teared up as well, Senyar, especially when he went trotting away once they had put on the prosthesis. That was a happy trot. :-)

I am impressed at how well the elephant responds to commands.
