Rescued from deaths door! Holly, the Loggerhead turtle that was found beach washed in the States Lower South East, suffering from hypothermia, dehydration, emaciation and a gastrointestinal blockage after eating plastic has finally started her journey home.
After several months of rehabilitation; today Holly was loaded into her transport box and joined the mile-high club on a flight back to Queensland. Holly will be taken to SeaWorld for a few days before being released off shore with other marine turtles that have undergone similar rehabilitation treatments by the dedicated team of vets and rehabilitation staff at SeaWorld.

Special thanks to Caroline Western (the fantastic vet who initially stabilized the animal down south before transporting it to AMWRRO), the entire AMWRRO crew for dedicating so much time and effort into her rehabilitation, David and Jenna C/o SeaWorld for assisting in her release back to the wild.
