A green sea turtle missing one flipper cruises through the waters of Hawaii.

Sea turtles lose fins for a variety of reasons, including attacks from predators like sharks or getting tangled in nets. Sea turtles seem to get along fairly well with a missing fin.

There are even some stories of sea turtles receiving water wing prosthetic pieces:
