A rescued elephant has been fitted with a prosthetic foot so he can walk again.
Chhouk, an 11-year-old Asian elephant had to have his foot amputated after he was caught in a snare when he was just a year old.
He was taken in by the Wildlife Alliance conservation organisation in Cambodia and their partners Paradise Wildlife Park in the UK helped fund a prosthetic foot made out of recycled rubber.
Chhouk has lived at Wildlife Alliance since was rescued, and Cam and the Paradise Wildlife Park have been funding his prosthetic foot for the last five years.
The prosthesis allows Chhouk to walk, run and swim without causing him any issues.
