Vets find surprise while trying to save endangered turtle hit by boat

Turns out Pennywise the sea turtle was carrying eggs A group of conservationists has reason to celebrate after rescuing an endangered sea turtle and finding out they may have saved even more turtles in the process. On May 19, conservationists from Inwater Research Group found a floating loggerhead sea turtle off Florida's Atlantic coast with significant blunt force trauma to her shell. The conservationists took the turtle to veterinarians at Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida, where they began treating the reptile. Loggerhead Marine Centre is a non-profit conservation organization. The vets suspected the turtle — which they named Pennywise — was hit by a boat. Unfortunately, they hit a snag. To assess the extent of Pennywise's injuries, they wanted to put her into a computed tomography (CT) scanner, which uses X-rays to help health-care workers take photos of the inside of her body. WATCH — Female sea turtles are outnumbering males in Florida But at 137 kilograms (302 pounds), Pennywise was too big for their machine. The veterinary team took her to a nearby hospital to see if she could fit inside a CT machine meant for humans, but she was too big for that as well. Next, they took her to a horse hospital to use its CT machine and — thankfully — Pennywise fit. The imaging showed some damage to bones that surround the spinal cord. The vets put the turtle on special antibiotics to help her heal. 'Luckily, right now, her neurologic exam shows that all those nerves are intact. And that is a great sign for her,' Heather Barron, the chief science officer and veterinarian at Loggerhead, told The Associated Press. But the results from the CT scan weren't all bad. Turns out Pennywise is carrying eggs. 'We hope we'll be able to get her back out there into the wild as soon as possible so that she can lay those eggs,' Barron said. The centre will continue to monitor Pennywise to make sure her injuries don't get worse, Barron said, and as soon as her wounds are healed enough, they'll put her back into the wild.

Your daily horoscope: June 5, 2025

Jupiter in your sign links with Venus on your birthday, which means you will accomplish more over the coming year when you strive to work with people rather than against them. A pleasant and productive daily environment is a must for success. You have always been a leader rather than a follower and that's a good thing, but the planets warn you need to tone down your tendency to rush into situations you know little about. It could be a rival has set up a trap for you. Are you Nice or are you Nasty? No doubt you are a bit of both but you will need to come down hard on someone today who has been taking liberties. Then, when Venus moves into your sign tomorrow, you can be Nice again. The best way to deal with a rival is to look for areas where the two of you can agree and maybe even work together. By focusing on what brings you together rather than on what keeps you apart your rivalry won't be such a problem. Most likely you will clash with someone in a position of authority today but under no circumstances can you afford to back down. If you show even a hint of weakness they will be on your case constantly over the next few days. Mars in your sign makes you hugely ambitious but as Venus, planet of harmony, is about to enter the career area of your chart you will move up more quickly if you make friends rather than enemies. It's not you against the world! If a friend gets into a spot of bother today by all means help them out, but make sure they know this is going to be a one-off event and if they make the same mistake again you won't be there to rescue them next time. If you insist on being different then you must allow other people to be different as well. That will, of course, mean having to accept that when they do something you do not approve of you let it go, so long as it doesn't harm you personally. The message of the stars today, and for tomorrow and the weekend, is that if you want to get important things done you must join forces with people whose aims are not a million miles from your own. Together you can do wonderful things. Anyone who thinks you are so easygoing that they can take advantage of you is making a big mistake. You are in one of those moods where you will forgive and forget only up to a certain point – after that they had better watch out! Stop worrying about things that are not worth the effort. Life is good and about to get many times better, so ignore the one or two little things that have gone wrong of late and get ready for something really big to go right. You won't be short of opinions and you won't by shy about pointing out where other people's thinking is completely messed up. You rarely suffer fools and the clowns you have to deal with over the next 24 hours will get no leeway at all. A work-related problem can be easily resolved by making an effort to see it through the eyes of someone who disagrees with you. You're not actually that far apart in your outlook, so come up with a creative solution that satisfies you both. Discover more about yourself at
