Elefante

Um elefante de 48 anos voltou a caminhar neste domingo 16 de agosto, na Tailândia, ao receber uma prótese na perna dianteira esquerda.

Motola, a elefante fêmea, estava sem caminhar há 10 anos, após ter sido vítima de uma explosão de mina terreste.

Neste domingo ela recebeu a prótese e deu os primeiros passos sozinho.

O elefante mobilizou defensores dos direitos animais ao redor do mundo, em uma campanha que arrecadou fundos para o desenvolvimento da perna artificial.
