The bond between an animal and a man is truly adorable and a heartwarming story about the same is doing the rounds on the internet.?
A man from Ann Arbor, Michigan in the US by the name of Eric C Martens came across an injured turtle in his neighbourhood, who was searching for a place to lay her eggs. After finding out that the turtle was really struggling to survive, Eric performed a C-section on her.?
In a viral Twitter thread, he revealed that he placed the eggs on a substrate and incubated them.??
The first tweet in the viral Twitter thread read, ¡°This story starts sad but has a happy ending: In early June I got out of my car coming home from work to help a turtle cross the road in our neighbourhood, only to find that a careless driver had already hit and killed her. Figuring she was searching for a place to lay eggs (sic).¡±?
Eric also shared a photo of the eggs.Next, he described how he saved the turtle and her eggs. He wrote, ¡°I brought her home, did a secondary euthanasia just to be sure and then my best attempt at a turtle C-section, which revealed 7 perfect eggs (attached picture) that I placed in a substrate and started incubating (sic).¡±
He mentioned how a rainbow actually helped him locate the turtle and wrote. ¡°While I was getting the eggs out, a massive storm came through, undoubtedly what motivated her to leave the water that night. Then, a brilliant rainbow, which (as corny as it sounds) would intersect the ground right where I found her in the road from the perspective taken (sic).¡±
Eric shared further that he is taking care of the turtles and now the eggs are hatched. He wrote, ¡°Today her eggs started hatching! So far with 2 fully emerged and healthy and at least 3 more on the way. They'll get a few days to get to full strength and maybe a meal or two before going back into the same pond their mom came from (sic)."
?He also shared a picture mentioning how tiny these baby turtles are. He held one of the baby turtles in the palm of his hands with a coin and they both were of the same size.?
This is one of the most heart-melting stories we have seen in a long time.?
