Latest pictures of Hoan Kiem Lake’s legendary turtle
On December 30 at noon, the giant turtle in Hoan Kiem lake floated near the Turtle Tower. According to Prof. Ha Dinh Duc, a senior expert of the Hoan Kiem Turtle, this was the fourth time the legendary turtle floated to the surface in December 2014.
The old turtle looked very healthy and moved well. The two wounds caused by hooks were completely healed. There were only harmless white spots on his front right foot.
The turtle emerged to catch some sun amid Hanoi’s winter.
In November, the turtle emerged five or seven times in October and up to 10 times in March, said Ass.Prof Duc. The expert said the turtle looked very healthy. The clearest evidence is his smooth and shining shell.
