A sea turtle plagued by 'bubble butt' condition is helped by a 3D printer

December 28, 2024
Charlotte, a male green sea turtle, wears a 3D-printed harness to help him overcome "bubble butt syndrome" — a condition caused by a boat strike. Charlotte lives at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut.

"Bubble butt" can leave turtles struggling to swim normally — or unable to submerge at all. A 3D-printed harness can help.
