One turtle was gashed by a boat propeller, bitten by a shark and was being attacked by a different shark when he was saved and rehabilitated.
A turtle crawls into the surf in Point Pleasant Beach on Aug. 2, 2022, after being released by a group that rehabilitated it. Sea Turtle Recovery released eight turtles that had been injured or sick, bringing to 85 the total number of turtles the group has healed and returned to the ocean since Dec. 2016. If what doesn’t kill you truly makes you stronger, then Titan is the strongest turtle in the ocean.
“To see Titan go back into the ocean after being hit by a boat, bitten by a shark and fighting off another shark is just amazing,” said Brandi Biehl, co-executive officer of the group. “There truly is no tougher turtle in the world than him.” Others were injured by boats or sharks, or developed other illnesses. Six of the eight are Kemp’s Ridley turtles, an endangered species. Titan and another turtle, Petunia, are Loggerheads.
Willow also was cold stunned and emaciated when she foundered on the shore. She refused food for over a month, but eventually resumed eating and recovered. Petunia stranded with eye damage that has since healed. She is one of a few turtles outfitted with a radio tracking device that will be used to monitor her movements in the ocean.
