Summary
| Description |
English: This Hawaiian green turtle is severely afflicted with fibropapillomatosis. The mouth tumors, which are unique to Hawaiian greens, can also occur inside the mouth and throat, impairing breathing and eating. The eye tumors impair vision and can blind the turtle. The large tumors around the flippers can impair swimming. Although FP tumors are benign, they can easily be a significant factor in a turtle's death. |
