It’s time to pray for the green sea turtle, which became stranded after coming ashore and now is undergoing treatment by an aquarium to save his life.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium staff found the rare sea turtle last Monday evening on Moolack Beach in Newport with a body temperature less than 15 to 20 degrees from normal. A team of veterinarians at the aquarium is performing the treatment.
No information regarding the health of the huge green sea turtle is out yet. The aquarium is also not yet aware of exactly how sick the turtle is.
Green sea turtles are rarely seen in the Pacific Ocean. The species is very less in number and so the practices are on to make the reptile healthy soon. Upon seeing improvements in the health of the reptile, the aquarium has decided to move him into the warm water rehabilitation center to eventually return him to his natural habitat.
"The turtle may have found itself in a warm water pocket surrounded by cold water”, said Jim Burke, the aquarium's director of animal husbandry. He explains that turtles grow hypothermic when their warm pockets dissolve, which usually make them lose their ability to navigate.
Aquarium is hydrating the turtle and soon we can hear some good news regarding his health.
