Murtal the Turtal (Turtle) is getting her lead weight glued back on...

Murtal our Green Sea Turtle getting her lead weight glued back on after it fell off, owing to the constant growth of her shell.

Murtal is one of our rescued animals after she was hit by a boat in Sydney harbour. She now has an air pocket somewhere in her shell causing her rear to float. She now needs this extra weight to correct her buoyancy. 

Well done Manly Sea Life Sanctuary staff!



Want to come diving with Murtal and friends?
