The endangered sea turtle was returned to the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday, after months of finding them, they were stranded on the beach and suffering from low body temperature in the past winter.
The Kemph Kemph Sea Turtle, which was discovered on the cold, or low body temperature, was discovered on the beaches of Par one, Massachusetts, in December.
The Wildlife Preservation Association (WCS) said that sea turtles such as Elton can become cold when they do not migrate south in time to escape from the start of cold temperatures.
After months of rehabilitation with the Atlantic Navy Preservation Association, Alton was released in the Atlantic Ocean by beach by New York Aquarium in Brooklyn.
The animal, which officials estimated between 2 and 5 years have been placed on the sand and soon swimming in the water.
“The return of Tun to the ocean is a strong reminder of what we can achieve when science, sponsorship of mercy and general support meet,” said Li Ann Clayton, Director of the Aquarium in New York. “The journey of this turtle-from the cold and weakness of swimming in the ocean again-determines the task we carry every day in New York Aquarium and through WCS.”
Footage of his release show a crowd of people on the beach chanting the young turtle.
“Alton! Alton! Alton!” They chanted as the turtles swimmed.
Kemb Redley naval turtles are the smallest types of sea turtles in the world, which ranges between 70 and 100 pounds, according to Nawa.
It was named after Richard M. Kembe, a fisherman from Florida, who presented species for the first time to identify identity in 1906.
