Our Vacation in Florida
June 2-15, 2005
The Turtle Hospital
We visited The Turtle Hospital in Marathon.
This nonprofit organization rehabilitates sea turtles and returns them to the wild where possible.
The turtles were lively, so I took several movies.
Injured by a boat propeller, this turtle floats to the surface and cannot dive for food.
Because of this problem it is a permanent resident.
This turtle is only about 6 inches long and will be returned to the ocean soon.
A turtle being fed.
This turtle was badly injured by a boat propeller.
The Turtle Hospital Ambulance Van. Whenever a wounded turtle is found, the van is dispatched to bring it in for rehabilitation.
The featured song is Sweet Victory
