A flamingo at a São Paulo zoo learns to walk after it was given a specially-made prosthetic leg after a fracture resulted in the bottom portion of the leg needing to be amputated to prevent an infection. Though still limping a bit, the Chilean flamingo is becoming more comfortable with the new leg, according to the zookeepers at Sorocaba zoo

The prosthetic leg would look better if made more realistic, like that of famous Buttercup the duck.
