24-kg wounded turtle rescued from drainage pipe in Texas, US
A 24-kilogram wounded alligator snapping turtle, reportedly a "threatened species", was rescued from a drainage pipe in Texas, USA on Tuesday. The local Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) used a hydraulic jaw to open the drain. Numerous other drowned turtles also flowed from the newly unblocked pipe. The turtles will be returned to the wild after recovering.
