Cold Turtle...


Ok it's well beyond christmas now, so the title isn't a play on words about turkey sandwiches and it is nothing to do with what drug addicts go through...

Wildlife rescue workers in the southern United States have been busy rescuing hypothermed turtles who have gone into auto coma mode after the recent cold weather there. In the corpus christi area, 150 turtles washed up in the bay and at least 38 dies as a result.

The lucky ones still alive have been trucked into aquariums and other animal rescue organisations to be warmed. Reports today say the weather and sea temps have lifted high enough again for them to start being released again.
