Devastating forest fires destroy everything on the way. Animals suffer most of all. They do not know where to run. Forest is their home. For toitoise, the shell also serves this purpose, but what if it loses both homes at once? The tortoise body is soft and it is absolutely vulnerable when left without it.
This tortoise lost most of its shell during the fire in Brazil so veterinarians along with 3D designers developed a 3D-printed hull and then painted it to make it look like authentic one. after they made it look realistic, it was hard to tell that it is not real. This lucky animal received the second chance!
