Описание к видео Birmingham Zoo Space-age Elephant Tusk Repair

See exclusive footage of a space-age material being utilized to repair the tusk of the Birmingham Zoo’s beloved leader of the nation’s first all-male African Elephant herd!

When 35-year-old Bulwagi’s long-term tusk crack finally reached a point where a repair procedure was deemed necessary, the Birmingham Zoo staff contacted the director of the University of Alabama - Birmingham’s Materials Processing and Applications Development Center, Brian Pillay, Ph.D.

The resulting collaboration produced an innovative procedure that is the first of it’s kind, as this short documentary illustrates.
