A wild bald eagle named Beauty was discovered in Alaska with severe upper beak damage from an illegal shooting, leaving her completely unable to eat or drink. Wildlife rescuers and engineers collaborated to design and attach a custom 3D-printed prosthetic beak. This innovative procedure successfully restored her ability to feed herself and survive under specialized care.
