A sea turtle struggling in the ocean off the coast of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates caught an amazingly lucky break.
In what was surely a chance in a million, a jet skier noticed the distressed creature while out for a ride and immediately came to its rescue. The tiny turtle was covered in barnacles and had a crab attached to its shell. Barely able to swim, it would likely have drowned had the man not stopped to remove the barnacles before releasing the turtle back into the water.
