This is amazing...



When keepers at the Chengu City Zoo in China noticed their turtle wasn’t feeling well, they x-rayed her and discovered that 14 eggs had been caught in her birth canal. An emergency c-section was performed and the eggs were immediately buried into the sand until they hatched. They used a saw to open up her shell, and closed it up with epoxy resin!
