Revolutionizing Prosthetics: The Incredible Story of Peter Eberly's Bionic Arm

The video discusses efforts by the World Wildlife Fund and local veterinarians to track and study the rare pygmy elephants of Borneo. With an estimated population of 2000, these elephants are monitored using GPS collars that transmit data via satellite. Initially thought to be feral descendants of tame elephants, DNA research in 2003 identified them as a distinct subspecies. The video details the collaring process, which involves sedating the elephants, and highlights the importance of this research in understanding their behavior, habitat, and conservation needs. The project aims to gather data on their diet, territory, and breeding to aid in their preservation.
