This juvenile Kemp’s Ridley turtle was transferred from the New England Aquarium to the Center for Wildlife Rescue for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. It originally stranded in early December in Cape Cod due to a cold-stunning event and was diagnosed with pneumonia. A CT was performed to monitor its pneumonia, and is currently receiving treatment. Since arriving, the turtle has shown encouraging signs of recovery—it’s more active, gaining weight, and eating well! As we continue to track its recovery, we’re looking forward to preparing this turtle for its return to the its natural habitat. Did you know you can see these sea turtle patients 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.
