"Cold- Stunned" Turtles Head To Florida Keys Turtle Hospital For Treatment

Forty critically endangered sea turtles have arrived at a Florida Keys turtle hospital to warm up and receive treatment after suffering “cold stunning” in the waters off Cape Cod. “Cold stunning” is a hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to cold water for a prolonged time.

Hundreds of turtles have been washing up on beaches and being transported to aquariums and turtle hospitals for care. The most critically ill turtles will need additional testing to discover whether they have pneumonia, infections or other ailments. Once they are treated, which could take anywhere from 30 days to a year, the turtles will be released back into the ocean here in Florida.

Hoping and praying these little guys make a full recovery so they be released back into the wild ❤️
