New fins save endangered turtle
United Press International
ISLAMORADA, Fla. —
Lucky, a pregnant loggerhead
sea turtle, paddled triumphant
ly across a tank of water Tuesday
with a pair of rubber flippers
attached in a $200,000 opera
tion to replace the originals
snapped off by a shark.
“I love it, I love it,” cried Dr.
Patrick Barry, the head surgeon,
after the 350-pound turtle was
carried on a stretcher from her
concave, open-air operating
table to the tank, then paddled
herself to the other side.
A crowd of about 100
cheered the sight.
Barry called the three-hour
operation “an outrageous suc
cess.”
“We worked so hard for it for
so long and now it is hap
pening.”
Lucky will remain for about
30 days recuperating, then be
tagged and released in the
ocean, possibly on Valentine’s
day — saving her from 75 years
of life in a pen “with no open sea,
no mate, no sex.”
Lucky was mating in the Flor
ida Keys when a hammerhead
shark attacked and bit off her
front flippers.
The team of surgeons led by
Barry removed the stumps of
Lucky’s front legs, drilled into
the bones and inserted the metal
pins that hold the flexible rub
ber fins in place.
“It fits,” Barry exclaimed
triumphantly as the first flipper
was attached an hour after the
operation began.
“Everything is right on the
button. It’s going perfectly,” he
said. Lucky was expected to try
out her new fins in a tank after
the anesthesia wore off.
The turtle lay on her back, a
concave-curved board holding
her shell to keep her from
rocking.
Assisting Barry, an orthope
dic surgeon who once operated
on an arthritic elephant, were
veterinarians Dr. Robert Foley
from the Theater of Sea tourist
attraction where the operation
took place, and Dr. Jesse White
from the Miami Seaquarium, an
anesthetist and two nurses.
Doc Pingree, spokesman for
Goodyear, estimated his com
pany had spent $35,000 on the
fins. Howmedica Inc. of Ruther
ford, N.J., spent another
$10,000 designing the metal
joints that attach the rubber flip
pers to the bone, he said.
Pingree estimated that the
time and services donated by
members of the operating team,
plus the housing and care of
Lucky brought the entire bill for
the operation to about
$200,000.
on why reptiles do not bleed co
piously. But noting that the 25-
year-old Lucky is carrying eggs
that probably will be delivered in
a year, Barry said “We’re doing
this for motherhood, too. Look
at her alternatives — 75 years in
a pen with no open sea, no mate,
no sex. She would have a life of
solitary confinement.”
