Sea turtles struck by boat propellers may develop 'bubble butt syndrome' due to air buildup in their shells, impacting their buoyancy and swimming ability.
The harness developed by 3D printing technology has allowed Charlotte, a turtle suffering from 'bubble butt syndrome', to swim more freely and regain mobility.
'Charlotte loved it.' The staff at Mystic Aquarium was thrilled with Charlotte's improvement after fitting him with the custom 3D-printed harness, opening doors for other turtles.
'Bubble Butt' syndrome is a debilitating condition for sea turtles, often making them unable to be released back into the ocean due to swimming difficulties.
