The North Carolina Zoological Park is home to some of the best exotic animal veterinarians in the world. However, even they need assistance once in awhile. Recently, an elephant named "Batir" wedged one of her tusks in the bars of a holding cage and snapped it off. Veterinarians from North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine came to the zoo and assisted in a procedure to repair the tusk. Batir's tusk was repaired with no infection and is now growing normally.
