Nature lovers pay for sick turtle’s taxi fare from Kudat to Kota Kinabalu

The endangered green turtle suffering from "floaters syndrome" was rescued in Sabah's northern Kudat waters and is now being treated at the Gaya Island Turtle Rescue Centre.

KOTA KINABALU: A group of nature lovers in Kudat pooled money and paid for a taxi driver to bring an ill turtle to the Gaya Island Turtle Rescue Centre near here Saturday (June 1).

The turtle was brought to the centre at 3pm on Saturday after it was found to be unable to dive into the sea as it was suffering from "floaters syndrome", which also affects the turtle's appetite.
