A 375-pound injured sea turtle was rehabilitated in Florida and recently released back into the ocean. Bubba is also thought to be a great-grandfather.
A sea turtle has been sent back into the ocean off the coast of Florida after recovering from some serious wounds. Bubba is a 375-pound loggerhead sea turtle who was found by biologists with Inwater Research in St. Lucie County, Florida, on April 10. Biologists noticed the large animal had injuries on both of his front flippers, so they stepped in to help.
'In addition to receiving antibiotics and good nutrition, 375-pound Bubba received regular wound cleanings along with cold laser therapy on his front flippers,' the spokesperson said. 'Our Healing Center team’s goal is to release all our sea turtle patients back to the ocean, which was especially important for Bubba, who is a breeding male.
