Question : Do you have a scar on your flipper after being tangled in the fishing line? – Jordan from Australia
Answer : No, I don’t have any bad scars. But I was helped son after it happened. Other sea turtles can be tangled up for weeks, and it can cause bigger problems. I was lucky. I can’t imagine how hard it have been for me if I was tangled up for weeks. That’s why it important to make sure trash goes where it belongs.
