The Zoo’s Vet Team is Helping Save Wild Sea Turtles
Our vet staff recently examined a Kemp’s ridley that was accidentally caught on a fishing line and reexamined 10 green sea turtles who were cold stunned when freezing temperatures hit our area earlier this year. Two of them were cleared to be released into the wild that day while the others continued to receive medical care until they were ready to be released.
14 Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles Released into the Wild
Every time you visit the Zoo, you’re helping us save sea turtles in the wild. On Saturday, March 20, the Houston Zoo released 14 endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtles into the Gulf of Mexico. These turtles were part of the sea turtle rescue flight from Cape Cod, Mass. in December 2020. Read more about the release in our latest blog post: bit.ly/3f2imP8
