Sea turtle returns to ocean after treatment
A large sea turtle that was found injured along the Florida coast in May following a boat strike was returned to the ocean on Wednesday.
The adult female named Pennywise, which weighs 302 pounds, was deemed healthy and strong enough to return to the wild after being treated by Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s veterinary team for the past few months.
With sea turtle nesting season underway, Pennywise has the chance to lay her eggs and continue her vital role in the marine ecosystem. #animals #news #florida
