If you visit Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington DC, you may notice on of zoo’s resident elephants, Shanthi, strolling around in stylish Teva boots. While the footwear makes the 9,000-pound pachyderm stand out among her peers, its primary purpose is to provide the 41-year-old relief from the side effects of arthritis, a chronic condition that causes painful inflammation and stiffness of joints.

            So cool! That is really cool that Teva helped out with all of those animals! So nice! It is so nice that they care so much about animals that they would make those helpful shoes for needy animals.
