Two Turtle Stories

A group of veterinarians at North Carolina State University College of Veterinarian Medicine recently made international headlines after performing experimental surgery on a green turtle that sustained a usually fatal injury. Dr. Greg Lewbart, known for his revolutionary surgical work on pet fish, led the turtle’s medical team, and he spoke to Sam Litzinger about the successful procedure. Litzinger also spoke with author Alison Rieser about her new book, "The Case of the Green Turtle: An Uncensored History of a Conservation Icon."
