Louisiana box turtle regains mobility with Lego-powered wheelchair

A box turtle in Louisiana named Pedro, missing both back legs, was fitted with a lightweight, removable wheelchair built from a Lego car kit, syringe-case axles, and epoxy. Within minutes of being set down, Pedro could reverse and turn, demonstrating how creative, low-tech improvisation can outperform specialized hardware in veterinary care. The team weighed options, opting for wheels over 3-D-printed prosthetics for indoor use, and this case echoes a prior DIY wheelchair effort at a Maryland zoo as evidence that practical design often trumps complexity.
