A Lucky Turtle
Wildlife Conservation Society Field Veterinarian Martin Gilbert shows the lucky turtle at his house in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Wednesday, July 20, 2005. The rare terrapin, called a batagur, was likely headed for a Chinese soup pot before keen-eyed wildlife officers noticed a tiny microchip implanted in its leg.
