Japan’s oldest sea turtle on the mend
Japan’s oldest sea turtle is feeling better.
63-year-old Hamataro was treated for inflammation of the lungs and flippers.
People in the town of Minami in western Japan celebrated the recovery of their 100-kilogram turtle.
The town is known for a beach where sea turtles come to lay eggs.
Hamataro is Japan’s oldest loggerhead turtle on record.
He returned to his outdoor aquarium and could be seen enjoying a swim with other turtles.
