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!
-
Waddles upon discovering he has a new leg: HOLY DUCK I CAN WALK AGAIN?! gives a duck-smile
-
I'm so happy Waddles can use his prosthetic leg so well! Keep practicing Waddles!💪👏👍
-
Woddles actually seems happy about his new foot
-
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.

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 😊
-
😂. He seemed so happy to be able to walk
-
That actually worked PERFECTLY!! Wow! That is so awesome!!! 🎉 ❤ 👍
-
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!
-
He's soo cute walking..😂
-
So so cool. Like what us human did for this animal. Proud to be human when I see stories like this. 👍
-
I saw this twice and I still teared up, while eating Corn Nuts ;_;
-
You can see how happy the ability to walk again makes Waddles.

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