How a toucan got his prosthetic beak

Grecia is a toucan from Costa Rica whose beak had been crushed and completely amputated but animal rescue expert Ronald Sibaja was determined to save Grecia’s life. Ronald didn’t work alone, he got support from an unlikely source - US and Costa Rican 3D printing companies that normally fabricate noses for commercial aircraft.
