False leg given to landmine elephant

The new canvas leg has been created for Mocha, a female elephant being cared for by Thai vets.



The animal was severely injured when she stepped on a landmine at the Thai-Myanmar border, losing her front right leg in the blast.



But now experts at the Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital in northern Thailand's Lampang province have come to her aid - hoping she can soon be set safely free on her own four feet again.
