Hurt Sea Turtle Bundled Off to Sunshine State
From Times Wire Reports
State wildlife officials rescued an injured 500-pound loggerhead sea turtle and sent it to Florida with the hope that experts there could nurse it back to health.
The massive male loggerhead’s shell was cracked when it was spotted floating in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Wildlife biologists think it was hit by a boat.
Since there is no sea turtle center in the Brunswick area, the injured turtle was taken to Sea World in Orlando, where it will spend up to a year recovering.
