"When Chhouk, an Asian elephant calf, was found, he was alone, underweight, and had a severe foot injury. Conservationist Nick Marx of Wildlife Alliance rescued the baby elephant.

One of the first animals to ever be fitted with a prosthetic, Chhouk helped pioneer the technology--and most importantly, was able to walk again!"--Provided by publisher.
