In most countries, when a raccoon bites a turtle’s front arms off in a vicious inter-species attack, that little hard-shelled fella would be all out of luck, assuming turtles understand the concept of fortune caused by accident or chance and/or Billy Zane. But not here in the great nation of America. Because, in America, we are innovators. Armless turtle you say? Pshaw. Grab some no-friction couch coasters and a hot glue gun, because this little turtle will learn to walk again.

Here is a video of Lucky, the turtle who just slides around all day with a slightly wrinkled smile. Lucky might be our favorite happily amputated animal since Candy, the Cockatoo who walks on paperclip lollipop feet.
