A 25-year-old female loggerhead
turtle named Yu swims after receiving her 27th pair of prosthetic
flippers at the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, western Japan February 11,
2013. Life looked grim for Yu, a loggerhead turtle, when she washed up
in a Japanese fishing net five years ago, her front flippers shredded
after a brutal encounter with a shark. Now keepers at an aquarium in the
western Japanese city of Kobe are fighting to find a high-tech solution
that will allow the 25-year-old turtle to swim again, with years of
labours and 27 models of prosthetic fins behind them without success.
