Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical SciencesNo, it wasn't Bevo, the University of Texas mascot. It was a longhorn from the Austin Zoo with a fractured skull exacerbated by his especially large horns.

A rebar splint spanned both horns, allowing the left horn to anchor the right one. Piping insulation foam and casting material held everything in place.
