A three-legged puma named Nigel has won over the internet with his determination and new lease of life after having his front leg amputated. Nigel's keepers posted a video of the happy puma exploring his enclosure for the first time after his life-changing surgery.
Nigel's left front leg was removed because it was causing him lots of pain due to his acute arthritis, meaning he could not move around easily. The big cat clearly felt better after his surgery as the video shows him jumping up steps, stretching and generally enjoying life.
In the viral TikTok, a keeper says: "Here he is about a week post-op, you can see his scars healing really nicely. Honestly our biggest issue with Nigel through this whole this was that we couldn't get him to stay still for long enough."
