A baby African crowned crane is proudly walking tall after keepers fitted it with bright green slippers to straighten its curled toes (see photo), the Daily Telegraph of London reported. The tiny hand-reared chick was born with a slight defect which meant toes on both feet were not developing as they should. It is currently being regularly exercised to strengthen its underdeveloped legs and will be weaned in late August, when it will be introduced to other cranes.
