Hi all,
I'm not sure I'm posting this story in the right forum, but here it is as I was not sure about the best place.
This turtle has been found in the net of a Japanese fisherman in the mid 2008, without front limbs.
The reason was apparently due to a shark attack. The turtle was transfered to a Japanese marine park.
They have developed new flippers for the turtle which feels and swims like a new one now.
More details here under.

Nice story, isn't it?

Cheers,

Michel
