This turtle was rescued off the coast of Florida and brought to Sea World Orlando. He was so entangled with fishing line his front flipper had to be amputated. I observed him for quite awhile and he seemed to have adapted quite well. I took these photos in August and at that time it was yet to be determined if he would be released back into the wild or find a permanent home at Sea World Orlando. Either way he is one lucky turtle.
