Yan Ganghui also squatted down!
He discovered that the bottom of the elephant's foot was not flat as he had imagined, but was pockmarked, like a thick and rough tire.
The surface was uneven, with irregular gaps both wide and narrow, with dark muck in them, not clear to see.
Fang Ye said, "What's excessive on the surface is the overgrowth on the elephant's foot, or in layman's terms, foot skin! A healthy elephant's foot should be amber in color, without cracks, and be elastic."
Qing returned at this point!
He brought something curled and longer than a palm, coarse like cartilage in brown, wrapped in a mix of fodder and feces.
He showed it to the visitors and explained, "This is the overgrowth that we removed from old elephant Bobo's footpad during his first pedicure."
The visitors crowded around and frowned as they looked at it!
"Wow, that's dirty!"
"Ew, that's kinda gross!"
"What's that on it, poop?"
