Impressive Shell Repair
An injured box turtle had its shell amazingly repaired after being hit by a car in Tampa. The turtle’s shell was seriously damaged and it was fixed at the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center. A volunteer veterinarian and her team took care of the injury at the Island Animal Clinic. The turtle will be kept at the clinic for a while so as to return it back to health.
