On May 28th, the Turtle farm released a 60 year old Turtle.   I made a post about it on June 2nd (see below).

Well, I am pleased to say that Sir Thomas Turtleton is alive and well and … swimming like mad!  In fact, as of just over a week back in the wild, this large fellow has swam and impressive 372km (+-230 miles for the non-metrically inclined) and is now off the coast of Nicaragua.  That  distance sure puts my Flowers Sea Swim to great shame!   Anyway, not bad at all for a turtle who spent 1/2 his life in captivity.

The best is that you can follow him online, since if you remember from my original post, he has a GPS tracker attached to his back.   Click on the link below to see where he is now:

On a similar note, someone made a cute video of the release.  In fact they made a “movie trailer” of the event.  This video will definitely put a smile on your face.
