On March 17, Wildlife Center Education Coordinator Kelly Rourke hand-crafted the anklets that will be placed on #08-887’s legs later this week.  Using a scapel, Kelly cut two anklets from soft, thick dark-brown leather.   [The white pieces in the photos are stiff cardboard that was used to protect the tabletop.]  Kelly also created holes in the anklets which will be reinfored with metal grommets. 

The final alterations to the the anklets will be made when they are fitted onto #08-887’s legs.
