mosha_the_elephant_3909Mosha, a three-year-old elephant who lost part of one leg during a landmine accident when she was just seven months old, has gotten a new lease on life thanks to a prosthetic leg. Now, she can do adorable things like leap gleefully into a pile of sand.

Mosha’s caretakers at the Friends of the Asian Elephant hospital in Lampang, Thailand hope that this will help her move around with greater ease and comfort - as well as serve as a poster child calf for landmine injuries. 

Watch Mosha do some adorable shit in her pen:

 

Mosha’s grown so fast that this has been her second prosthetic in a short while. Doctors say she was scared to use her new leg at first, but has since grown accustomed.
