Looks like a green sea turtle in Manchester has gained a little bit of weight during this whole COVID lockdown we have going on.

Cammy is a giant green sea turtle, and has been put on a diet after a recent weigh-in at the aquariam.

Sea turtles are weighed twice a year, and this time Cammy had too many rolls of fat on her body. The extra fat was mostly around her backside and neck.

Essentially, Cammy has a donk.

Cammy is now on a vegan diet which consists of cauliflower, sprouts, broccoli, and lettuce. All of this comes with exercise of course. How do you make a turtle exercise? Well, aquarium staff will hide the food in blocks of ice and toys to make her work harder and burn more calories.
