“Jack” the Green Sea Turtle got his Barnacles Removed yesterday before his scope procedure. 😳🐢 The things you see on the rest of Jack are Fibropapillomatosis (FP) tumors and they will be removed at a later date. 🏥 Please keep Jack in your thoughts and prayers as he continues his journey through rehab. ❤️🩹 #barnacleremoval #barnaclesgonewild #barnacles #seaturtlebarnacles #barnaclefree #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #turtletok #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM #education #animals #animaltiktok #fyp #seaturtlelove #patient #savetheturtles #greenseaturtle #green #greenturtle

NEW patient alert! “Luna Diane”. 🐢🦀 Luna Diane, a large Loggerhead sea turtle, was spotted by a recreational boater late Sunday, who contacted the US Coast Guard Key West Sector. The Coast Guard rescued the turtle on the water, and our team met them at the dock with the Turtle Hospital ambulance. 🚑 She’s covered in barnacles, and a crab can even be seen exiting and entering the wound in her shell where a boat had hit her. 💔 Luna Diane has a long road of recovery ahead. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! 🙏 #barnaclesgonewild #barnacles #seaturtlebarnacles #crab #loggerheadseaturtle #loggerhead #loggerheadturtle #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #animals #fyp #seaturtlelove #savetheturtles #STEM #floridakeys #education #patient #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #animaltiktok #turtletok

Luna Diana's Exam with Dr. Terry. 🐢👨⚕️ We weighed her in at 271 lbs (122.92 kg). Dr. Terry applied some wound care to her boat strike, and during that procedure, we were able to rescue the crab and return it to sea. 🦀 We relocated Luna Diana to the tidal pool to see how she would do in deeper water and a slightly more natural environment. 🌊 Luna Diana's bloodwork is good, she is eating well, and she appears strong! It is unknown how much damage has been done to her spine from the boat strike, and we do not know if she will have lingering positive buoyancy issues. ❤️🩹 Keep her in your prayers and send plenty of healing energies for this gorgeous loggerhead sea turtle! 🙏 #barnacles #seaturtlebarnacles #crab #loggerheadseaturtle #loggerhead #loggerheadturtle #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #animals #fyp #seaturtlelove #savetheturtles #STEM #floridakeys #education #patient #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #animaltiktok #turtletok

“Jesus” is going to be released from Sombrero Beach Marathon, Florida on Sunday. ❤️🩹🐢 Jesus was found struggling at the surface with a heavy load of Fibropapillomatosis tumors off of Key West in May of last year.

Turkey is one of the juvenile Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles that transferred from New England back in December. ❄️ Last night, Turkey received a lung wash with Dr. Mike Dunn. He was cold-stunned and is now being treated for severe fungal pneumonia and osteomyelitis. Samples from his lung wash were sent for sensitivity cultures and cytology to help our medical team target treatment for Turkey. 🚑 #kempsridleyseaturtle #kempsridley #kempsridleyturtle #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #animals #fyp #seaturtlelove #savetheturtles #STEM #floridakeys #education #patient #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #animaltiktok #turtletok

Lots of footage from the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle exams yesterday! 🧐🐢 During the sea turtle examinations, Dr. Terry looks at their eyes and mouth, then palpates the joints to see if they are swollen. He’ll also check their skin for lesions. 👨⚕️ We’ll do an X-ray to check their lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and bones, plus check their blood chemistry. 🩻 Stay tuned! Some of these Kemp’s Ridleys may be getting their swimming papers for release soon! 🌊 #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #turtletok #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM #education #animals #animaltiktok #fyp #seaturtlelove #patient #savetheturtles #kempsridleyseaturtle #kempsridley #kempsridleyturtle

Luna Diana is eating well and is now in deeper water! 🐢💧 Luna Diana is the loggerhead sea turtle that arrived at The Turtle Hospital about a week ago with a boat strike injury, barnacles, and a crab hiding in the wound of her shell.

On December 28, 1973, the U.S. Endangered Species Act was signed into law, marking a pivotal step in protecting critically endangered species from extinction. 🐢💙 The Texas State Aquarium is proud to be part of this ongoing mission, having rescued, rehabilitated, and released countless endangered sea turtles, including Kemp’s Ridley, Green, and Loggerhead sea turtles. On Friday, December 27, we received a very special delivery from the New England Aquarium: 18 critically endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtles that made an incredible 2,000-mile journey from Cape Cod to Corpus Christi. ✈️🐢 These turtles were cold-stunned on Cape Cod beaches, battling hypothermia, pneumonia, and injuries caused by rough surf. With New England rehabilitation centers at capacity, Texas stepped up to provide them a second chance at life. This rescue is also a homecoming—many of these juvenile turtles likely hatched on Texas or Tamaulipas beaches. As they recover at the Texas State Aquarium, our dedicated teams are working to prepare them for their return to their natural habitat 🌊 Today, as we reflect on this important milestone in conservation, we celebrate by stepping into action. By rescuing and rehabilitating endangered sea turtles, we’re doing everything we can to ensure these vulnerable creatures have a fighting chance. Together, we are proving that actions speak louder than words when it comes to saving endangered species. 💙 A huge thank you to the New England Aquarium, @turtlesfly2, NOAA Fisheries, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and everyone who made this life-saving mission possible. Let’s keep working together for a brighter future. And now, you can see these sea turtles up close at our Center for Wildlife Rescue, open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is donation-based, and everyone is welcome to come learn about their journey and the vital conservation work being done.#corpuschristitx #animals #aquarium #seaturtles #seaturtlerescue #seaturtlerehab #texas

It is with heavy hearts that we report, Benson a Loggerhead Sea Turtle in rehabilitation at The Turtle Hospital has passed away. Benson had barnacles removed so the veterinarian team could do a diagnostic endoscope. The scope confirmed Benson had internal FP tumors. Benson had the LARGEST FP TUMOR ever recorded in a sea turtle. The tumor weighed 28.2 pounds!! Caution, graphic content. RIP Benson ..#connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM #education #animals #animaltiktok #fyp #seaturtlelove #patient #savetheturtles #loggerheadseaturtle #loggerhead #loggerheadturtle #barnacleremoval #barnacles #seaturtlebarnacles #fpsucks

Twelve cold stun green sea turtles were transferred from Northern Florida to the Florida Keys-based Turtle Hospital last evening. They are in critical condition and had to be dry-docked in the ER overnight. 🏥 🐢 The incredible animal care team and veterinary staff worked into the night to get these precious turtles admitted and treated. ❤️🩹 Please send prayers and healing energies for these guys. 🙏 #cold #greenseaturtle #green #greenturtle #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #seaturtles #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #animals #fyp #seaturtlelove #savetheturtles #STEM #floridakeys #education #patient #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #animaltiktok #turtletok
