This is Dylan chasing her block of ice. Inside the ice Dylan knows she will find yummy Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle food! Dylan is learning to be a wild sea turtle. This way of feeding challenges and exercises her as she chases the ice around her tank. Dylan also eats live crabs which are a natural part of a loggerhead's diet. When Dylan is released next year she will be well prepared for life on her own in the Big Blue :)We have a cookbook we published to help raise the funds to care for these magnificent animals. It's called, Jekyll Island's Treasured Recipes, Cooking for Caretta caretta. If you go to this website,www.cookbooksforsale.com/displayCookbook.php?id=63760 you will find links to a wealth of information about the Georgia Sea Turtle Center and all the wonderful turtles in our care. Be sure and go to the blog www.gstc.blogspot.com to get all the latest information on our new arrivals - 5 young Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and 2 young Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) - the most endangered of all the sea turle species. The 7 young sea turtles were rescued after being "cold-stunned" and stranded up north. They arrived at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center yesterday!
