TWO former Newborough residents are on a quest to save a three year-old baby elephant from a lifetime of hardship.The elephant, `Chhouk' lost one of its feet in a hunting trap in Cambodia after its mother was killed by poachers.The infant was left to die but was saved by Wildlife Alliance, which had to amputate the foot.Chhouk now needs a prosthetic leg or he will develop serious bone deformities, particularly to his spine.
