Researchers have made a fascinating and honestly pretty cute finding about sea turtles.
研究人员发现了一件关于海龟的趣事，这个发现即迷人又相当可爱。
Some are using their flippers not just for swimming, but also to help forage for food or capture prey. In effect, they are using them like big awkward arms.
一些海龟的鳍不仅能用来游泳，还能帮助搜查食物或捕捉猎物。实际上，它们的鳍就像巨大且笨拙的臂膀。

said in a Wednesday press release, "Sea turtles' limbs have evolved mostly for locomotion, not for manipulating prey.
周三她在新闻稿中表示，“海龟的四肢主要是为了移动而进化，不是为了控制猎物。
But that they're doing it anyway suggests that, even if it's not the most efficient or effective way, it's better than not using them at all."
但是它们用四肢来捕猎意味着，虽然这并不是最有效的捕猎方式，但是总比完全不用要好。”
