“Now, more than a year later, he has fully recovered and has grown more than four times the size! In spite of now only having three flippers, he is now ready and waiting to be returned to the wild in the near future.”
The photographs below show the growth that the turtle has experienced. In the inset picture, the turtle is seen in the hands of Animal Care and Quarantine Officer Roma Hayward in 2012, while the second picture, taken just last month, shows its increase in body size.
