Charlotte , a green sea turtle, was hit by a boat in 2008 and suffered from a floating syndrome.

The condition makes it impossible for a turtle to dive or forage, sleep, and avoid predators like sharks.

Most sea turtles suffering from such a condition simply die at sea.

But fate had other plans for Charlotte , who was rescued shortly after the accident and found a home.
