Orphaned and without a paw, the Triumph koala returns to climb, run and jump thanks to his new prosthesis
Triumph is a koala without a paw. Orphaned by his mother, he was found next to her body by an Australian nurse.
His human "mom" Marley Christian rescued him in northern New South Wales in 2017. He had only 3 paws and a protruding bone. Now, however, there is a new life for this very tender animal: thanks to an incredible prosthesis created especially for him, he has started climbing, running and jumping.
To make it, you think, it was a dentist. Jon Doulman had heard of the Triumph drama and volunteered to take the case. Attempt successful in full!
“Once he put on the“ boot ”he made a small jump, then he started running and climbing, in reality I cried. It's the best thing that ever happened, I would do absolutely anything for this little one. "
The prosthesis, in pink color, has a velcro strap to hold it and a tread on the bottom to facilitate the grip during walking and climbing.
A story, this, that really gives confidence to the human race.
