Quarter Crack Patch Comes in Handy


Carlos Lara of Mustad/Capewell/St. Croix loaned us this photo of an elephant's foot that had been patched with one of Mustad's glueable crack patches. The elephant's foot is fascinating, but many elephants develop foot problems in captivity, with cracks being high on the list. There is a veterinary textbook dedicated solely to diseases of the elephant's foot. Giraffes in captivity seem to have a lot of hoof problems too. Thank you, Carlos, for sending this image!
