Not all landmine survivors are human. Many elephants are injured by mines while working in the jungles on the tense Thai-Burma border. Most are killed by their owners as caring for them is impossible.

But not always.

As the video below shows, a lucky few receive treatment... and one is even receiving a prosthetic leg.

The footage of the baby elephant injured by a mine is so tragic, yet so unreal cute at the same time...

See the video on CNN here.

You can read more about Motala,one of the elephants fetured in the piece above on the BBC's website.
