>Frog fitted with false leg

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)

据《每日电讯报》2日报道，一只名叫布鲁莱的南非牛蛙被狗咬断一条右腿后，日前通过外科手术用1英寸长的钢针接上了断骨，成为世界上第一只安假肢的青蛙。该牛蛙的主人安妮·米恩斯现年62岁，她说："青蛙因腿脚(灵活)而闻名，之前一想到布鲁莱的腿瘸了我就感到心痛。"(见图)
