US EditionDilly Dally the sea turtle returns to the ocean after flipper amputation
- On June 4, 2025, a young loggerhead sea turtle called Dilly Dally was released back into the Atlantic Ocean at Juno Beach, Florida, following her recovery at a local rehabilitation center.
- Dilly Dally was rescued in January in Port St Lucie with severe predator wounds that required amputation of her front flipper at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
- The turtle stayed five months at the center to recover from wound complications and surgery before the veterinary team attached a satellite tag for tracking her re-acclimation to the wild.
- Veterinary technician Marika Weber explained that Dilly Dally has been fitted with a functioning satellite transmitter, allowing researchers to monitor her movements in real time, which provides valuable insights into the behavior of turtles with amputations after their release.
- Dilly Dally’s release marks a conservation success and allows public monitoring of her journey, contributing data to understand survival and behavior of injured sea turtles.
