Smart turtle. She was sick and found a hospital by herself.

Wow, that's nuts. What a smart turtle! I couldn't imagine any of my animals going to the hospital by themselves when they're sick; they hate the vet office. :rofl:

Wow. Either that turtle's absolutely brilliant, or this place has one heck of a marketing campaign! :up:

That's a freaking smart turtle! I wish other animals were that cooperative with their medical problems! *Shakes fist at frog tank because of one frog that won't shed her skin properly and keeps getting skin fungus as a result.*

This is an incredible story. I suspect many animals are more intelligent and self-aware than we give them credit for.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis

Update:

I was watching Fox & Friends news show this morning and they had a story about this turtle on there. It seems the turtle is now completely healed and well and they let it go back out into the waters of the ocean today during the Fox broadcast. Now it can be with it's turtle friends again and back in a well-known environment. I think they named the turtle "Kincaid" or something like that. It was a very big turtle. Aw, A very happy ending! :clap:

Great to see a follow-up to this story. Sounds like one satisfied turtle patient. Maybe Kincaid will refer her friends if they ever need medical help?
