Flamingo gets prosthetic leg and rocks it like a pro

As the technology for prosthetic limbs for humans continues to progress in leaps and bounds, so does the technology for animals.
A case in point is this poor specimen which fractured its left leg, forcing vets to amputate below the knee joint to avoid infection.

The Chilean flamingo at a zoo near Sao Paulo, Brazil, now has a custom-made carbon fibre prosthesis which it is slowly getting used to.
It has already achieved the inimitable flamingo trick of standing on one leg while tucking the prosthetic addition under its torso.
After it has fully mastered walking, the brave bird will be re-introduced to the rest of the zoo’s herd.
