A 25-year-old loggerhead turtle is on her 27th pair of prosthetic limbs after a shark attack five years ago left her seriously wounded. The reptile, named Yu, is being treated at an aquarium in Kobe, south Japan, where a sequence of manmade flippers was created for her. It really is hoped she will be able to at some point have the mobility to swim and burrow in sand
