Superquark

Season 22 Episode 2: Episode 2

The second episode of SuperQuark opens with a very special documentary: it is the story of large animals from the forest or the savannah, seriously injured and saved by doctors and surgeons who rush to their aid. Sometimes it is poachers who, by shooting to capture specimens, leave seriously injured animals on the field. Other times it is traps and snares that crush and tear. But in other cases it is a question of real diseases that require surgical interventions. And so it turns out that animals suffer from exactly the same ailments as us, but that treatments become much more difficult to carry out if you are in isolated places, far from everything. Among the interventions we will see in particular that of a young gorilla, injured by poachers, and a rhinoceros, which is undergoing a skin transplant for the first time, which is not easy in a rhinoceros.
