- [Narrator] Long'uro lost his trunk when he was just a few weeks old.

- Long'uro fell into a well.

The mother tried her best to pick the baby out, but the mother lost hope and left Long'uro inside the well.

Long'uro stayed there the whole night, waving the trunk, looking for support.

And a hyena came night and just grabbed the trunk.

Three-quarters of the trunk has gone.

The blood dripping.

Feeling pain.

Actually, it is very emotional.

Even when Long'uro arrives with a wound, it's like, it makes someone, everyone cry.

It's like you feel that it's your own baby suffering like that.

So, we were wishing Long'uro can get better quickly so that he can survive with all these wounds and all this pain.

Yeah.

Long'uro.

- [Narrator] After his injuries healed, Long'uro, at just eight months old, had to develop his own ways to survive.

- When he was a very small boy, he was struggling to browse.

But Long'uro found good ways to adapt.

When the others are using the trunk, Long'uro kneels down using the mouth, like a cow.
