CORPUS CHRISTI- Texas – SeaWorld San Antonio animal care specialists rescued 13 endangered green sea turtles on the upper Laguna Madre in Corpus Christi.
According to SeaWorld San Antonio’s marketing leader, Chuck Cureau, due to the low-water temperatures, the turtles became “cold-stunned,” and hypothermia began to set, which limited the turtles’ ability to swim out of the way of boats and other water hazards or predators.
