Leonardo, an African turtle, was rescued from the Bangkok Zoo in 2013, while Simon arrived in January after a serious leg injury. The poor cow was with his mother when he got tangled up in the vines. Part of one of his hind legs fell off due to an accident, and the rescue center got him a prosthetic to help him walk.
