😍 Behind every rescue at Sea Turtle Inc. is a turtle with a story and a very clear way of telling us how they’re feeling! We see so much resilience and character in their eyes every single day. It’s an honor to be part of their journey back to the big blue. 🌊💙 Which of these faces made you smile? (We're partial to the 3rd one at 0:05) Let us know in the comments! | Sea Turtle, Inc

🐾 If you are looking for a quick fix of true adorableness in your day, plan a stop at our Animal Wellness Center. Now available for view in the indoor atrium and outdoor nursery screens, our lion cub den cam plays daily footage of what our cubs are up to (a lot of sleeping, nursing and grooming). Note the footage is on a delay, so is not live and cannot be viewed anywhere except on zoo grounds. Don't forget to say "Hi" to our ring-tailed lemurs, Kellan and Kato, in the Nursery! | Turtle Back Zo
