LMAO! TURTLE THAT LOST HIS BACK LEGS GETS A SET OF WHEELS!

Prosthetics aren't just for people anymore.

A turtle in Israel and a goose in England both suffered unfortunate accidents, but some inventive vets managed to give both some normalcy on Wednesday.

Tzivka, a turtle, was paralyzed in her rear legs when a lawn mower incident caused severe damage to her shell and spinal cord two months ago.

Veterinarians at the Ramat Gan Safari near Tel Aviv gave this paraplegic reptile a second shot at life after fitting Tzivka with a pair of wheels Wednesday, MSNBC reported.

The wheels were attached with what appears to be a form of putty in front of her hind legs, and were elevated to keep her shell from being worn down.

And Tzivka isn't the only animal sporting a prosthetic.

Garcia the goose broke the top half of its beak after becoming entangled in a fence on Wednesday, according to the Daily Mail. Instead of putting the bird down, vets managed to create a fiberglass replica of the beak for Garcia.

While the goose was under anesthesia, Dr. Alan Jones crafted the new nose and vets attached it by placing wires inside Garcia's skull at the British Wildlife Centre.

"We couldn't believe how great she looked after her nose job," veterinary nurse Terry Kemp told the paper. "Who would have thought you could save a goose's life with a piece of fiberglass - it's absolutely incredible. We are delighted."

In just a year or so, Jones said, Garcia's beak will grow back completely and the animal will no longer need the prosthetic.

"Celebrity nose jobs cost thousands of pounds so I think £175 [about $270] was very good value," Dr. Jones said. "It was worth every single penny to save Garcia's life."
