Timmy the 70-Year-Old Turtle’s Recovery | Portland Maine News
Description
An elderly loggerhead sea turtle named Timmy, estimated to be 70-80 years old, was rescued off the Florida Keys after swimming erratically seven miles offshore. Boaters helped keep her safe until the Coast Guard arrived, delivering her to The Turtle Hospital. Vets are running extensive tests and providing fluids and vitamins, while Timmy shows promising signs of recovery—calmer and settling into her pool. Test results are pending, but the dedicated team at the hospital, which rescues endangered turtles from across the Keys, is hopeful. They’re asking listeners to send good vibes as Timmy fights for her life and prepares to return to the ocean.
