You know what you need? A wholesome news story. A baby giraffe named Msituni (weep) has been fitted with custom, human medical-grade leg braces to help her walk after being born with a life-threatening leg condition.
The condition is called hyperextended carpi, which means that Msituni’s front limbs bend the wrong way. She was born back on February 1 at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. At the time, staff were concerned she wouldn’t make it if they didn’t correct the condition as it would prevent Msituni from both nursing and walking.
