An early morning start and another step on a journey that could eventually lead to this tropical sea turtle being released back into the wild. She was driven all the way from Anglesey, where she was found last November, to Hertfordshire. Six hours later and the team at the Royal Veterinary Hospital were preparing their unique patient. Getting a sea turtle into the scanning machine is no easy task, but experts need to check her lungs for damage. Olive ridleys can travel vast distances but it’s thought this one was carried by currents thousands of miles off course. Gel is being applied to prevent her skin from drying and she’s being kept warm ready for her journey back to Anglesey while experts decide her future.

工作人員一早就開始準備踏上把這隻來自熱帶海洋的海龜放歸自然的旅程，而此前，他們還需要完成一件事。去年11月，這隻海龜在英國威爾士的安格爾西島被人發現，工作人員載著她從這裡一直駛向英格蘭赫特福德郡。六小時後，英國皇傢獸醫學院的一支團隊正給這位特殊的患者做行前檢查。想要把一隻海龜放到掃描儀器中去可不是件易事，但專傢們仍需為她檢查肺損傷的情況。太平洋麗龜可長距離遊動，但人們認為，這隻落難的海龜是被洋流從數千海裡以外沖過來的，因此她偏離瞭方向。醫生正在為這隻海龜塗抹防止皮膚幹裂的凝膠，還為她保暖，以便在專傢決定她未來何去何從的同時能夠隨時動身返回安格爾西島。
