...tooth, that is. The six year old clouded leopard broke her tooth while chewing on a log, thus requiring a gold crown. Perhaps she's part beaver? Story from Reuters.

More likely the poor thing is bored out of her fuzzy skull! That being said, gold is the crowning material of choice if at all possible in veterinary dentistry. Unfortunately, private owners can't always afford or have access to that sort of specialty work. I have known a few dogs that had structural dentistry done, but being in a major metro area has it's advantages. Nothing quirks your day like seeing a G. Shepherd flash a gold-capped canine at you.......
