Turtle To Recieve Artificial Limb

A sea turtle believed to have been attacked by a shark lost bth of her front flippers. A Japanese conservationist group now plans to provide artificial flippers to the turtle.

“We need to pay special attention as the forelimbs will have to be strong enough to (allow her) to climb up a beach,” Erika Akai, a researcher at the non-profit Sea Turtle Association of Japan, told AFP.

“She should eventually be able to lay eggs on a beach.”
