Description
A massive 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 and weighing 302 pounds (137 kilograms), was deemed healthy and strong enough to return to the wild after being treated by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s veterinary team in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the past few months. https://www.wtsp.com/article/life/animals/sea-turtle-release-south-florida/67-3ffd9782-1487-4786-bdc0-17f0374de4c7
