A loggerhead sea turtle, Rocky, has been released after rehabbing in Florida for six weeks. Staff at Florida's Loggerhead Marinelife Center put a tracking device on Rocky's back.
Rocky, a 220-pound female turtle, was found floating off North Hutchinson Island on Dec. 29 with a tear in the lung caused by a boat strike, Andy Dehart, the center's president and CEO, said Wednesday.
The turtle "had a perforation in the lung, so was trapping air in the body cavity, which was making it essentially be what’s called a floater," Dehart said. "It couldn’t dive. It couldn’t get underwater."
