Exhausted and dehydrated baby turtle, likely hatched near Miami, was rehabilitated in Dingle Aquarium after being found upside down on Belmullet beach

He alerted marine biologist and director of Dingle Ocean World Kevin Flannery. He drove to Mayo from Dingle to rescue the reptile who was in cold shock after her journey..

Most of the turtles the aquarium rescues are older. Molly, found near Castlegregory in 2004 with her flippers injured from a shark attack, was thought to be in her 20s. The body temperature of Cróga turtle was raised gradually, as were its basking waters in the aquarium.
