Let us tell you that 'Lou' is an olive ridley turtle who lost two of his flippers after a fishing net accident. Due to the injuries sustained from getting caught in the fishing net, his front left flipper and back right flipper had to be removed. Following the incident, he was sent for complete rehabilitation, which meant he wasn't able to swim like before. But after five years of treatment and recovery, Lou proved he was a fighter. He learned to swim again and was released back into the wild in Australia in December 2020.
