大象
大动「物」手术的最后一站,来到格鲁吉亚首都第比利斯,我们将会见证一项拯救亚洲大象的手术。一只名叫格兰迪的亚洲象所居住的动物园发生水灾,它虽然侥幸生存了下来,但其中一只象牙受到严重感染。全球顶尖的野生动物兽医尝试替它拔牙,这次手术是一次与时间的竞赛,因为格兰迪每麻醉多一分钟,它自身的体重都有可能会对自己的重要器官造成破坏。
Elephant
Liz Bonnin takes us inside the dramatic world of big animal surgery. This time, she travels to Tbilisi in Georgia to witness a life-saving operation on a magnificent Asian elephant named Grande. Having survived a catastrophic flood at the zoo where he lives, Grande has a badly infected tusk.
One of the world’s top wildlife vets attempts to remove it in a race against the clock, as every minute Grande is under anaesthetic, the weight of his own body risks damaging his vital organs.
