Helvetica and verdana aren\u2019t just fonts<\/a>. They\u2019re also a few of the new names bestowed upon sea turtles that a team from the New England Aquarium\u2019s turtle hospital rehabilitated this year.<\/p>\n

This winter, almost 500 live turtles<\/a> washed up along the shores of Cape Cod Bay, with many suffering from hypothermia following the annual cold stunning season<\/a>. Cold stunning occurs when water temperatures rapidly drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, shocking cold-blooded turtles into weak, inactive states that impact their swimming ability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of the rescued turtles were stabilized and moved to secondary rehabilitation centers. Fifty-eight of the group remain at the New England Aquarium\u2019s Sea Turtle Hospital, an animal care facility in Quincy, Massachusetts. These long-term residents are still recovering from shell wounds and fractures, and various infections in their lungs, joints, and shells. Some have a long road to recovery before they\u2019re released back into their habitat.<\/p>\n
