Here's a happy story about a turtle that had been struck by a car. He (she?) was taken to Long Branch Nature Center in Arlington, VA. This nature center only rehabilitates reptiles. They patched his shell, which had broken completely across from one side to the other. You can see the three white plastic pieces used to hold the two parts of the shell together.  A few months later, and the turtle is good as new. Once the video below has loaded, you can see the little guy's (gal) return to nature. If the video doesn't load try using Internet Explorer for this page. If you ever find injured wildlife, Wildlife Rescue League, at 703-440-0800, will help you figure out how to help the animal. You'll probably get a recording, and get a call back soon, with appropriate information. flash version
