OSAKA, Japan - An Okinawa Rail, a critically endangered, flightless bird found only in northern Okinawa, is suspended inside its cage to maintain upright posture, a measure to help in its rehabilitation after its spinal cord was damaged, at a facility run by a nonprofit group protecting wild animals in Uruma, Okinawa Prefecture, on Sept. 27, 2013. The bird, believed to have been hit by a car and found immobile on a road in the summer of 2011, has since been recovering and now undergoes walking training at the facility. (Kyodo)
