Never thought I'd see Ben Weinman from The Dillinger Escape Plan on National Geographic getting his duck fitted with a prosthetic leg. This is awesome.

Love how excited the owner was for wellbeing of his animal!

I'm so happy Waddles can use his prosthetic leg so well! Keep practicing Waddles!💪👏👍

Some rubber underneath and ability to pivot like an ankle would be a great improvement. Super impressed with your efforts and especially waddles . You could see his smile 😊

Woddles actually seems happy about his new foot

I thought so too!

It still seems to be a bit to tall for him as he raises quite a bit when he uses the prosthetic leg. I'm also worried about the rubbing pressure of his leg against the hard plastic. I think to shorten it a bit more, plus add a thin rubber layer on the bottom for traction. But glad to see Waddles walking again.

The rubbing isn't an issue, as most birds don't have skin in their feet. Talons are made of keratin, just like human fingernails. The feet consist mainly of bones and tendons, with very little muscle and few blood vessels, so no worries there. The rest, like the hight, can be adjusted easily.

I think the actual foot needn’t be to scale. Reason is, it has no discernable ankle movement. A tweak here and there and perfection. Maybe making the foot a bit smaller and adding a rubberised pad (silicone or latex).

Mind your business, nobody asked you to knit pick. When you make your duck leg, do it your way

I agree and also maybe a more flexable material in the foot so it bends like his natural foot, as it is it is so flat

Yes. Agreed maybe make the leg slightly lower or more flexible. I also noticed it’s not a amputed leg but rather a bent leg. So maybe the Awkwardness, therefore can rethink the attachment too. But overall super fantastic for the first try as it’s really not easy to do and easy for me to comment here.

😂. He seemed so happy to be able to walk

Waddles upon discovering he has a new leg: HOLY DUCK I CAN WALK AGAIN?! *gives a duck-smile*

What a lovely gift! Prosthetics can be painful to use initially, but I think this duck would adjust well. I hope they'll be monitoring him for pressure sores and improve upon the design regularly - as regular use will also change the shape of the stump within the prosthetic.

Waddles the Pirate Duck, love it!

So so cool. Like what us human did for this animal. Proud to be human when I see stories like this. 👍

You can see how happy the ability to walk again makes Waddles.

Aww happy for the duck he could walk again :)

Male mallards are not only beautiful but spirited, bold, friendly, and intelligent. They can form remarkable bonds with humans.

Wow great job. So emotional to see his enthusiasm with the new leg. Very kind of you guys and thanks.

Ducks rule! So glad this duck got an artificial leg! 💜

I absolutely LOVE this show!!! Please give it another season NatGeo!

next phase is to make the prosthetic leg a big more mechanical to give the duck a real sense of a real leg.

That was incredibly satisfying and emotional to watch.

Thank you for doing what you do! God bless 🥰🙏✌🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🤗🇨🇦

Heroes! Thank you for making animal's lives better.

So cute!! I'm so glad he got his second leg

glad for the quacker and his friends

Waddles and Ben.. epic

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's Waddles.

Next version from a rubberly flexible filament for the actual foot.

The duck can use the new leg for swimming!

Amazing! I saw a documentary about twins conjoined at the head. They were to undergo the very long, very complicated surgery to separate them. Months before the surgery, MRI of the brains of both babies and exact replicas of both brains in the skull were printed. The team of surgeons explained that they practiced the 3-D brain replicas and this helped them so much. They didn't have to open the skulls up to find unexpected surprises; the replicas prepared them totally for brain anatomy. I also saw a video of a dolphin who had lost his tail in an accident with a boat. He was given a prosthetic tail and was able to swim once again. I see only bigger & better medical advances with 3-D printing.

Love it! Awesome! Happy days are here again!

you are heroes with big hearts!

This fills me with so much joy ❤

Anyone here know how we can get access to this kind of care? Our Muskovie female duck just lost her leg to a racoon, she's healing nicely but now has only one leg, and a stump. This video made me cry with hope!!

Pirate duck, quack

Prosthetics can't be worn constantly and aren't the same as having a real leg, but they can definitely give an animal time up on their feet having an improved quality of life for parts of the week.

Now Waddles is a Pirate ducky!
