This turtle lost both his back legs, so veterinarians used a Lego toy car kit to build him a very fancy wheelchair
Well, do we have the story for you. La tortuga, la tortuga! Ya no puede caminar. Porque no tiene, porque le faltan...las dos patitas de atrás!This fine specimen is Pedro the handicapable turtle, a patient of Louisiana State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Baton Rouge. When Pedro was adopted, he was already missing one hind leg. He recently ran away for a few months, and when he returned home, the prodigal box turtle had somehow managed to lose the other one.
A zoological intern at the hospital picked up a Lego car kit, and using some syringe parts and animal-safe epoxy, vets MacGyvered a sweet little rig for Pedro's caboose. Look! The wheelchair can even be snapped off the bottom of his shell so Pedro stays clean. Does he understand how much people care for him? Can he feel how much he is loved? Pedro and his proud ownersGuttner says such ingenuity, Lego-based or otherwise, is pretty common in the field.
