Meet Challah!

Meet Challah! This juvenile green sea turtle washed ashore on Redington Shores with predation injuries likely from a shark. This turtle's rehabilitation has been going well, but will be lengthy due to the wound care required to treat the bite injury.

I found this turtle on the beach near the Doubletree Resort in North Redington. It looked dead at first but as soon as I moved it a little, it lifted it's head and looked around. So, I picked it up and carried it up the beach to the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary. Seaside took it into their hospital and called Clearwater Marine Aquarium to have it transferred to them. I'm happy to see it recovering nicely. Thanks for your good work!
