I have good news, Pyari, the loggerhead turtle survived and was released back into the wild last week! If you remember, I had written about her in November. A shark had chewed on Pyari’s front fins and one of them had to be amputated. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center inn Florida took care of her for three months and called her the “Miracle Turtle”. Did you know that only 1 in 1000 turtles make it to adulthood? A family member got to see Pyari make her way into the ocean and I enclose a video so you can see her. I was elated to hear the news because it really is amazing that Pyari survived. And luckily, turtles only need one front fin and one back fin to swim.
