This little one has lost his back left flipper from a shark attach
This one has lost one front flipper and both back ones, the spot you see on his back left side is the location they have chosen to attach an artificial flipper - yes they are testing the attachment of prosthesis on turtles - amazing eh?

This one appears to have all of his body parts so he may be one that was found washed up on shore due to digestive disorders caused from plastic bags. Apparently plastic bags are mistaken by the sea turtles for jelly fish, once eaten it is impossible to digest the plastic causing blocked digestive tract and infections.
