This video shows one of the earliest sightings of Howzit, a juvenile Hawaiian Green Turtle we first met back in 1992.
We didn't know back then that she'd already shown the first signs of a tumour disease called Fibropapilloma.
By 1995, the disease had progressed to such an extent that Howzit grew weak and emaciated. 1995 was the last summer that we saw this beloved honu.
