Back in 2015 this story of a loggerhead turtle that what injured by a boat made the rounds on the internet when scientists equipped it with a 3-D printed prosthetic jaw at a rehabilitation center in Turkey. I missed this story back then, but it was just brought to my attention recently, and now I share this with you.
A few searches didn't bring up any update on whether or not the turtle's body rejected the implant, or whether it was returned to the sea. However, I love that this happened. Warms my heart to see technology put to good use, righting a wrong.
