Happy #turtletalktuesday! Did you know that cold temperatures are threatening for sea turtles? Cold weather means higher chances of cold stunning events. Sea turtles cannot regulate their own body temperatures, so cold water below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) can cause them cold stun, leading them to drown, get hit by boats, and get stranded😭 If you live on the coast of the states surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, like Florida and Texas, please be aware and on the lookout for our favorite reptiles, and reach out to FWC, or proper groups authorized to rescue sea turtles. • • • #cold #coldweather #winter #ocean #seaturtles #seaturtle #conservation #education #environmentaleducation #winterishere #help
