- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Clearwater Marine Aquarium released Kirby, a 225-pound endangered loggerhead sea turtle, on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. Kirby is an adult male sea turtle who was found floating near Indian Rocks Beach on January 29, 2019. CMA staff rescued Kirby and found a T-shaped wound on his head, several barnacles and algae on his carapace. He also had a buoyancy issue suspected to be caused by a GI tract problem.
His treatment plan consisted of fluids, vitamins, antibiotics, and monitoring body temperature. Kirby steadily gained weight and his buoyancy improved. Visitors were able to view Kirby as he rehabilitated at CMA’s marine animal hospital and could watch him via his live webcam. After several months of rehabilitation, he fully recovered and was ready to return to the wild.
Kirby was cleared for release by both our veterinarian and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). CMA staff, volunteers and supporters gathered at Clearwater Beach to see Kirby return home. We all wish him well back in the Gulf of Mexico and look forward to tracking his journey.
All marine turtle footage taken in Florida was obtained with the approval of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under conditions not harmful to marine turtles. Footage was acquired while conducting authorized conservation activities pursuant to FWC MTP-19-172.

Turtles can live up to 200 years and more, they have an amazing shelf life.
Great video but also disappointed that you didn't show us the removal of the hitchhikers!
How about showing removal of the barnacles?????
Maravilhoso
I was hoping to see the removal of those barnacles 🥺
Bye Kirby :)
Hai...bunda from indonesia....good job
lol could you imagine what was going on in his head as he was heading back into the water?
Sungguh indah ciptaan Tuhan...
When do they start removing the barnicals ?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Me too ...I saved turtle marine in japan.
So how long does the tracker stay on? Also what have we found out about Kirby since his release?
what are the results from trackers. Can you share those
Dang it i wish one of ur vids where poated on my bday(5/22/19)
how did you guys get the barnacles off? is it safe to just remove them and put the turtle back in the sea?
Great work
Buddy of mine and I caught Kirby the other day. We had turtle soup it was delicious.
Do they REALLY need that satellite tracker on his back? Smh
I hope Kirby is doing well in the future, especially after Texas got hit,
Turtle soup.
I was with you guys until you put that tracker on him.
I agree. Why put something electrical on him? Leave him be.
@@chellejack3480 Maybe they want to keep an eye on him to help him.
