A Nova Scotia wood turtle named Root broke barriers—and probably a few speed limits—after wildlife rehabbers fitted him with a custom Lego mobility aid. Lego wheels transformed Root’s slow crawl into a smooth roll, proving that with enough imagination and bricks, even turtles can outpace evolution.

By outfitting Root the Turtle with custom Lego wheels, these inventors didn’t just give Root a second chance—they revolutionized the concept of reptile mobility. Root the Turtle’s colorful Lego wheels now turn heads and set a bold precedent for animal prosthetic innovation everywhere.
