Derrick Campana is the founder of Animal Orthocare. It is a company that creates prosthetic limbs for amputee animals, or animals who have lost their limbs. And, they do not only build prostheses for pets, such as cats and dogs. Campana and his team have built prostheses for goats, pandas, and even two elephants from Thailand. The featured image is a memorial to Mosha, one of the elephants who Campana built a leg for. Mosha was only seven months old when she lost her leg to a landmine.
