Aquarium lowers water levels after feeding turtles brussel sprouts
An aquarium has lowered the water level in their tanks to prevent gas bubbles produced by turtles from triggering overflow alarms.
Staff at the Great Yarmouth Sea Life Centre in Norfolk, UK, give turtles a seasonal treat of brussel sprouts at Christmas which provide a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals and fibre.
However, the turtles, like humans, are prone to heavy bouts of flatulence after eating the vegetables.
Last year a turtle at a Sealife Centre triggered overflow alarms in the middle of the night after the splashes from gassy bubbles hit overflow sensors.
