A rescued oriental white stork in north China is getting a second chance at life. The injured bird has been fitted with a fifth-generation mechanical prosthetic – a first in China's bird rescue history.

Designed with eco-friendly resin, silicone and a built-in shock absorber, the artificial limb helps the stork stand and move.

Experts will monitor its rehabilitation closely, with hopes of releasing the stork back into nature.
