Motola, the elephant that was injured by a landmine, has her prosthetic leg attached at the Friends of the Asian Elephant Foundation in Lampang, Thailand, June 29, 2016. The Thai-Myanmar border is still dotted with landmines left over from clashes between ethnic-minority rebels and the Myanmar army dating back decades. Elephants Mosha and Motola lost limbs when they stepped on landmines. Recently Mosha received a new prosthetic leg at the Friends of the Asian Elephant Foundation hospital, while Motola had her prosthetic adjusted. Founded in 1993, the Friends of the Asian Elephant Foundation was the world's first elephant hospital and currently has 17 patients. (Photo by Athit Perawongmetha/Reuters)
