Sea turtle gets new lease of life with prosthetic flippers
A disabled loggerhead sea turtle has been fitted with a pair of artificial flippers in a Japanese aquarium.
Staff at the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe have been trying to design a pair of prosthetic flippers for the turtle since the creature was first brought there in 2008.
