Squall the Sea Turtle - off topic


This video starts out with the now patented g00fba11 up the nose shot to see if the GoPro is on. (pardon the nose hair)

Just had to post a short vid of Squall the sea turtle recovering at the Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. Got rained out today. Squall is the big one in the last tank doing some laps......

Amazing animals...... Fantastic stop......

yes its a great organization and cause and was glad you all had the opportunity to witness the release. Of course Todd had front row seats inside the ropes for some awesome vids. Has he picked them up as a sponsor too............:thumbup::thumbup:

Def not a release candidate, she was a huge turtle with some years on her, and she had air in her shell. They told us they had done a few surgeries and the air kept coming back. So im pretty sure they didn't release her... Hmm hope she's ok..

...was phantom there?

Nope... I don't remember Phantom being mentioned ..... I just watched the video I took and here is the list of names from the turtles in the tanks that I was able to read or hear the guide mention.

Truck, Sally, Karen, Squall, Duvall, and Courtney.

Squall was the only huge adult turtle I saw when I was in there. There were other tanks towards the end and some quarantine tanks but visitors were not allowed in that area.
