Apparently you can fit animals with all sorts of prosthetics these days. Take this dolphin, which got its tail caught in a crab trap two years ago. For two years the dolphin, Winter, couldn’t swim. Now, however!

The artificial tail took several months to complete, but now Winter is almost good as new.

Why do I bring this up? Because it’s science-related and everyone loves dolphins. No heavy lifting required.
