People help a flamingo
A flamingo at a Brazilian zoo broke its leg. Unfortunately, the bottom portion of the leg had to be amputated to stop it from getting infected.
The bird received a lightweight 18-centimeter artificial leg made of carbon fiber – a strong and light material – with silicon ends.
The flamingo still limps a little, but it is becoming more comfortable with its new body part. It can already put the leg under its body, something that flamingos often do.
