Turtle General...

Just for the World's Most Dangerous Librarian:

Dispensing turtle-loving care
A ventilator tube in its beak and an incision in its rear, an ailing sea turtle lay splayed before a medical team that surrounded the operating table in aqua-colored scrubs and collective, concentrated focus.
...
Such critical care is a somewhat hidden mission of the New England Aquarium, whose 30,000 marine animals garner nearly all the wide-eyed attention of the visitors who circle its imposing four-story fish tank. But with the cold weather that killed and sickened hordes of turtles in Florida this winter, the center’s expertise has taken on a national dimension.

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

That is all.

Did you know that turtle apparently tastes rather like pork, except the fat is green? ;-)
