As a species, we are perhaps most remarkable for our capacity for innovation and experimentation. It's what took us from being another savannah primate to the dominant species on our planet. Unfortunately, we usually express that innovation by either coming up with new ways to brutalize each other or to exploit each other. Sometimes, it's nice to have a wholesome reminder of what our capacity for invention can accomplish when we decide to put it towards something good.
This giraffe calf at San Diego had leg malformities which were preventing it from walking. Instead of giving up on it, the staff worked to develop these leg braces and the results... well, they speak for themselves.
