Florida Keys Turtle Hospital administrator Ryan Butts wraps gauze around the damaged front left flipper of an endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle after the right front flipper was amputated during surgery in Marathon, Florida, November 13, 2008.
The reptile was attacked by wild dogs last month while it was nesting on a Virgin Islands' beach.
