世界首只青蛙安假肢
A bullfrog called Brullie has become the first in the world to be fitted with an artificial leg bone, the Daily Telegraph reported Thursday. After being bitten by a dog, the frog had his shattered lower right leg bone replaced with an inch-long metal pole in an operation in South Africa. Owner Anne Mearns, 62, said: "Frogs are famous for their legs, so the thought of Brullie being left lame broke my heart."(See photo)
據《每日電訊報》2日報道，一只名叫布魯萊的南非牛蛙被狗咬斷一條右腿后，日前通過外科手術用1英寸長的鋼針接上了斷骨，成為世界上第一只安假肢的青蛙。該牛蛙的主人安妮·米恩斯現年62歲，她說："青蛙因腿腳(靈活)而聞名，之前一想到布魯萊的腿瘸了我就感到心痛。"(見圖)
