Gamera, Tortoise Legged Wheel Chair

Friday, July 22, 2011

Washington - After the amputation, foot tortoise is replaced with a wheel chair. He can walk again.

Gamera is turtle African 12-year-old who suffered severe burns that destroy tissue legs, and the risk of death.

To fix this, as quoted from wsu.edu, Dr. Courtney Watkins from Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, had to amputate.

But Gamera so can not walk in a balanced manner. For that, the front legs replaced with a wheel chair. A wheel mounted on the bottom shell Gamera, and now he can walk again (with a slight sliding motion), and could find himself on the grass eating.
