Only a few years ago, a wounded elephant, dolphin and kangaroo like these would not have had much hope. Under the rough rules of the wild, they would have quickly died of predators, infection or starvation. Compassionate humans who intervened might have been able to make the animals more comfortable but never could have made them whole. Now's that changing, With the help of some fancy new prosthetics, a cutting-edge subset vetenary surgeons is learning how to transform lifeless pieces of metal and plastic into working feet, legs, tails and even (nonworking) dog testicles. The animals regain the ability to live like healthy creatures, seomething the surgeons find rewarding enough. More important, what the doctors learn as they put the critters back together could help the medical community work similar magic on humans.
