Description
His history: Tonka arrived with Hawk and Pumpkin. All were kept in tiny, filthy cages. He was severely malnourished and their bodies caked with their own feces and they had urine burns all over them from lying in their own waste. Lethargic and weak from not eating, he couldn’t even hold his head up the first time we saw him. Our vet says he only weighed 200 pounds upon arrival. Closer to 350 or more is normal!
Met this guy at Noah's Lost Ark Sanctuary and fell in love with his face. After an absence (due to health issues) when I showed up again he actually came to the fence "chuffing" at me. Made me feel so special. Marvelous creature.
Complete 2004 after 5.14 hours spread over 4 days.
