Humpty Dumpty Today.
http://www.spacekids.com/spacenews/humpty_dumpty2_000509.html
Space study that uses a turtle to get signals to space. Before setting Humpty Dumpty free, a scientist used super-sticky tape to attach a small black box with a little antenna on the turtle's back. When Humpty Dumpty surfaces for air, the box sends signals to two satellites. The satellites allow Alex to pinpoint Humpty Dumpty's location.

In July 1998, GRNMS divers captured an injured juvenile loggerhead sea turtle with a cracked shell resting beneath a reef feature 70 feet underwater. The turtle nicknamed "Humpty Dumpty" was transferred to Marineland, Florida where it was rehabilitated with daily antibiotic treatments to stave off infection.
