Poor Turtle! Uncle Was Rescued By a Government Organization After Being Discovered By People With a Body Full Of Parasitic Cockles (Video)

This week, fishermen along Tasmania’s shore discovered a huge loggerhead sea turtle, which they rarely see, and knew he was in need of assistance.

Although he weighed roughly 220 pounds, he was a huge man who lacked energy. He was so coated in barnacles that he couldn’t even immerse himself in the water, which indicates he had been ill for some time.

According to MCP, the turtle spent the night in a fish market’s temporary housing before being taken for a checkup the next day.
