Loggerhead Turtle Gets Prosthetic Flippers
Yu, a turtle who was victim of a shark attack, is a 200-pound female who lost her front limbs in the attack of 2008. She was discovered by fishermen who accidentally pulled her up in their fishing nets in the Kii Channel on the Pacific coast. On noticing nearly one-third of the right limb and half of the left limb missing, the fishermen sent it to the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, Japan, reports AFP.
