South Padre Island, Texas, April 8, 2009--After being rescued with just one flipper, Allison the green sea turtle has a new lease on life with her artificial fin.
Attached to Allison's shell with neoprene, the fin was developed at Sea Turtle, Inc., a turtle-rescue facility. Earlier, the group had tried to attach prosthetic flippers to Allison--which previously could only swim in circles--with no luck.
