SeaWorld aquarist Jenny Albert covers up a “cold stunned” endangered green turtle to keep the animal warm at SeaWorld’s Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. The Arctic blast that has affected most of the country has forced more than two dozen green sea turtles to take shelter after being rescued January 6 from the Mosquito Lagoon by wildlife rangers. Aquarists are using heat lamps, blankets and warm fluids to nurse the reptilian refugees back to health. This influx of turtles gives the park’s Sea Turtle Rescue Program more than 1,000 turtles rescued since its inception in 1980.
It’s great to know that the turtles are being cared for. The SeaWorld team does great work! Did you know that you can become a fan of SeaWorld on Facebook? Click here to visit their Facebook page.
