I already made a post about those powerful hind flippers, but have you ever seen how hand-like and dexterous a beaver‘s front paws are? Bo the beaver uses those skillful grabby grabbers to eat her favorite snacks very efficiently and practice constructing lodges and dams. Volume on because I know you guys love the sound of her chewing. 😂😁❤️🦫 #wildliferehab #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferescue #animalrescue #beaver #bothebeaver | Wild For Life inc.

What do flippers have to do with physical therapy?! They encouraged heel strike: Flippers extend beyond the toes and add resistance, making it difficult to push up on the toes. Increased surface area = proprioceptive input. This helps kids become more aware of their feet. It strengthens their ankles & lower leg muscles. They’re fun! Kids love wearing them and pediatric physical therapy should be PLAYFUL. ❤️ #physiotherapyclinic #physicaltherapist #pediatricphysicaltherapy #babydevelopment #disab

At Dolphin Research Center, they also use them for splash fights. (They always win!) Left to Right: Pax, Flagler, Tanner, and Talon | Dolphin Research Center | Facebook
