A large loggerhead sea turtle was killed when she wandered onto a busy Florida highway while looking for a spot to lay her eggs. But researchers rescued 70 of her eggs intact and buried them in hopes they will hatch normally.
The turtle was struck by at least one vehicle early Wednesday morning on State Road A1A in Brevard County, according to Erin Seney, an assistant research scientist with the University of Central Florida Marine Research Group. It had attempted to dig several nest chambers on a beach in Brevard County before the accident but was unsuccessful because she had injuries to her rear flipper, Seney told CNN.More Related News
