Premium Content Subscriber only A resident male koala called Triumph, under the care of Friends of the Koala in Lismore, has received the world's first koala prosthesis. Born with a congenital defect, the animal has always had only three feet, until now. These days, Triumph has been moving around like any other male koala of his age. Instead of a foot on his right leg, he was born with a stump and a small foot pad on the end. Friends of the Koala said he moved around considerably well, but struggled to climb like a typical koala, as putting pressure on his stump was painful.
