Turtle Power!!
Can you imagine if you had to go round and round and round in circles for 150 years? I know that sometimes I can feel a little bored doing the same walk every day. We try to take different trails, paths and sidewalks so I can smell new aromas. Now, a 5-year old green sea turtle named Allison won't have to spend the last 100 years of her life swimming in circles. Allison, a green sea turtle with only one flipper, has been going around and around and around for most of her life. She lost a fin in a horrible shark attack so she could not swim straight. This week, Allison was fitted in her very own black neoprene suit with a carbon dorsal fin on the back that lets her glide gracefully with the other turtles.
