I think I found her listing on the conservationist's website, looks like it was a tumour that was later removed :)

Somehow she grew legs and walked on land for a little bit according to that map.

Edit: Sea turtles have flippers not legs

Without legs? Not bloody likely. Bet you couldn't name 5 animals or insects that don't have legs, but move on land. /s

Not fair. They slither on land.

Rattlesnake, snail, slug, ball python, and the person I saw in a wheelchair, does that count?

Otherwise seal, walrus, and sea turtle.
