A five-year-old koala in eastern Australia has received the world's first prosthetic foot specially designed for the marsupial, from a local dental prosthetist. The male koala named Triumph was born without a right foot and had struggled to walk and climb. He was rescued in 2017 by veterinarian nurse Marley Christian, who has since been taking care of her at the Friends of the Koala centre in New South Wales. She had been looking for solutions to Triumph’s missing foot, until Jon Doulman, a local dentist, came up with a boot-like design suitable for the koala.

Wow! Amazing how we've managed to give this koala what he's always needed.
Darling Angel Boy! Mummy is just so happy for you and so proud of you! I'm so thrilled that wonderful man has made your life easier, my love. It is so wonderful to see you scampering about, climbing and jumping and enjoying yourself. No mum could be prouder of her son. I am so honored to be your mummy, sweet Triumph. You are the most beautiful boy in the world and I love you so much. Kisses and hugs, my sweet. Much love from Mummy Val💖💖💖💖💖💖🐨
That's a tough thing to replace, it needs to be like a sticky claw. Hope it gets better.
If only all animals had this opportunity...
Rest in peace Triumph 🐨🥰🙏🌅♥️

Sad Tomato Triumph was born without his foot. It's a very rare occurrence. I'm Triumph's American mother. I adopted him awhile ago. I had to. He stole my heart and won't give it back! I call him my Angel Boy.💖🐨
cute
