Ancient Turtle Timmy Needs Help | Charleston News
Description
An ancient loggerhead sea turtle, nicknamed Timmy and estimated to be 70-80 years old, was rescued off the Florida Keys after boaters noticed her unusual swimming and alerted the Coast Guard. Now at The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, she’s receiving fluids, vitamins, and rest as staff run blood tests to pinpoint her condition. Though her exact size remains unclear, Timmy’s calm demeanor since arrival is a hopeful sign. The hospital, a key hub for marine turtle rehabilitation, is asking supporters to send good vibes as they wait for lab results and work toward her full recovery.
