The injured turtle was found by a zoo employee in the city’s wild park in U.S. and brought to the zoo. This turtle had many fractures on its shell. Surgery was done in The Maryland Zoo. A Lego enthusiast and The Maryland Zoo helped it by making a Lego wheelchair. This helped heal the turtle. The turtle could later walk and move freely. the turtle used Lego wheelchair for two years. All fragments were fused together. Then finally wheelchair was removed and turtle was released in the wild park. This shows us that there are people who care about animals. We need to help animals that are injured and hurt.
