  • We'll help you get your spirit back, sea turtle!

  • When we found you, you were pretty thin and a little quiet.

  • We could tell you weren't feeling well at all.

  • So we took you to our rescue center.

  • One day, you'll crawl back to the ocean.

  • But until then, we're gonna help you get your strength back.

  • We know you love the water, but we need to keep you out of it for now.

  • Swimming would tire you out too much!

  • But we can't let you get dry,

  • so we'll cover you in wet towels.

  • How does it feel?

  • Now that you're comfortable, we'll check you out and see what's wrong.

  • First, we'll take your temperature,

  • measure your shell

  • and listen to your body!

  • Your shell is covered in algae and barnacles,

  • and you haven't been drinking enough!

  • No wonder you're too tired to swim!

  • We have a special pool where you can slowly get used to the water again.

  • If we can figure out how to get you there!

  • This is a job for the whole team!

  • Don't be nervous. They're being extra careful!

  • Just a tiny bit of water for now.

  • The best way to practice swimming again is little by little.

  • Once you're good at coming up for air, we'll add more.

  • Woah! The fresh water is getting rid of all the algae and barnacles on your shell!

  • And it tastes good too! Keep drinking!

  • Let's try a little swimming.

  • Do we look funny from inside there?

  • Every day, we'll add more water.

  • You're looking so much more alert!

  • She's glowing in the sunlight right now!”

  • Let's see if you're hungry!

  • No question there!

  • We love seeing your strength come back!

  • Which means it's time!

  • You're ready to go home!

  • We'll carry you again, but this time, we're going somewhere special!

  • Time for your big moment! Can you go the rest of the way on your own?

  • You got this!

  • It's hard to say goodbye

  • but we're so happy to see you back home!

  • With a little help from us, you're ready again for life in the wild!

We'll help you get your spirit back, sea turtle!
