A fossil reproduction hanging in the gift shop/ ticket office
A sea turtle on the mend. She was fed in front of us.
We met several of the turtles in the healing tanks in the back of the center. They were in diferent levels of care. Some had patches and were slowly regrowing shell and others were learning how to eat again after haveing blockages from different things eaten in the ocean. They were all on the road to recovery though.
They also served the terrapin population in Georgia and helped raise some of the eggs that were hatched after the mothers died from being hit by cars.
This lil’ guy, Charlie, was a difficult baby to take a photo of. He would always turn around whenever I picked up my camera. He was adorable though!
They had a surgery window so you could watch them do the care of the turtles. This guy needed a feeding tube inserted to get the nutrients it needed.
After watching the turtles for a while we headed back to Savannah for dinner. It is beautiful here for sure.
