Dying baby turtle saved by family in Ireland

Care

The family that found the turtle quickly sprung into action and started searching frantically for someone who could help them. They called their local wildlife conservationists and animal shelters, but unfortunately none of them were able to help them. The family then started searching online for any organizations that could save the turtle. After hours of searching, they finally found the director of the Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium that could help the turtle. The family was relieved and quickly made arrangements for the turtle to be rescued. The family was so relieved that they could help the baby turtle and get it to safety.

The Director drove a total of twelve hours to get the turtle and has been taking care of it ever since. The turtle has already tripled its weight and it has been eating well. After the turtle is nursed back to health, Flannery will make sure it is taken to the Canary Islands.

The Irish family that found the baby turtle named it ‘Cróga’, the Irish word for ‘brave’
