Usually when a sea turtle loses a fin due to a shark attack - there's now a finless turtle in the world and that's the end of that.
But when Hu, a 25-year-old female loggerhead, was found by fisherman and sent to the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, Japan - the researchers there were hellbent on getting this turtle a fin again!
They tried 27 times without success. But when they used two rubber fins, held together by a slip-over vest to prevent Hu from breaking free, they found a winner!!

Russia's week full of sharks is a lot less fun than ours.
Today Russian emergency officials have officially warned everyone to stay the f out of the 840 mile stretch of the Pacific coast after two unprecedented shark attacks on swimmers this week.
The 25-year-old man lost both his hands to a shark, after rescuing his wife Wednesday. The second attack, on a 16-year-old boy came Thursday.
According to the Huffington Post one doc said the kid's injury looked like "someone had passed a sharpened rake over the legs."
As gross as that may be, we are pleased to everyone has survived the attacks!
Though, this is spoiled summer fun for lots of vacationing Russians.
A restaurant in Smyrna Beach, Florida is offering free sushi to anybody who has survived a shark attack.
If you've been nibbled on by a shark, then YOU can nibble on some free shark rolls at Kaiju Sushi and Rice Balls.
Co-owner Dekker Dreyer, who has survived five attacks himself, is excited about the campaign. He says:
"The response has been tremendous. [Shark attacks] are something we've grown up with."
In fact, local surfer Joey G. showed proof of his shark attack and ordered a complimentary Jamaican-seasoned mako shark sushi roll. Dreyer says:
"He had the whole package. He had a scar on his leg and he actually had a video on YouTube of himself on the local news being taken away for first aid."
What a unique idea. Might as well eat the shark before the shark eats you!
First this six-year-old girl gets bitten by a shark, and now she's talking on national TV!
Lucy Mangum, from North Carolina, is recovering after she got bitten so severely by the shark last week that the doctors lost count of how many stitches she had to get.
The shark bit Lucy in just 18-inches of water.
The cuties says she forgives the animal for attacking her but said she definitely likes dolphins better. LOL! How cute is that??
Her parents say this has not deterred them from going back to the beach or Lucy from going back into the water.
One of which was the first ever Milestone Award for musical ingenuity and innovation!
BUT, it seems the audience was NOT very happy that Biebs beat out Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars for the title, as he was BOOED while getting up on stage to accept the award AND when he wrapped up his VERY defensive acceptance speech!
Ch-ch-check out the cringe-worthy incident (above)!
Ooooof, and you can tell that when the booing starts, people from Bieber's camp try and cheer louder to mask it, which only makes it worse.
Hmmm we wonder if this mass negative reaction to Justin be about a certain abandoned monkey? Or are people getting tired of hearing him sing the word "baby" for the 1000th time?
And are you kidding us with this speech, Biebs? Way to NOT sound in the LEAST bit grateful... he even sounds pissed when he's thanking people!
Siiighhh. Well, whatever the reasons for JB's super strange speech, we are NOT impressed. And neither, it seems, was the crowd.
