00:00It is the last day in Karachi Zoo.
00:23A lot of work done in the last few months together with KMC to train this elephant,
00:28to train the mahout.
00:31When I came here first for the assessment, we diagnosed severe problems with the task.
00:35Then we came back one and a half year ago.
00:37We did a really severe task surgery for seven hours with my colleague Thomas Silverbrand
00:43from the institute and with the local colleagues here and with the forepaws team.
00:47And I'm so happy to see now this is totally healed.
00:52So the swelling is gone, the infection is gone, and she is mentally and physically right
00:56now in a good shape.
01:00She was alone here, her roommate was dying.
01:04It's not a good thing.
01:05Elephants are very smart and they are very social animals and I'm happy for her that
01:10she gets a little bit more room, a little bit more silence and a nice company.
