Coming out of her shell
Carolina's Story: Sea Turtles Get Sick Too!
by Donna Rathmell; photography by Barbara J. Bergwerf
Sea turtles can get the flu? Shows what I know. But thanks to the expert ministrations of the staff at a South Carolina aquarium, a loggerhead sea turtle’s nursed back to health after she washes up on a beach one day.
Although she’s named after the state where she surfaced, Carolina isn’t anthropomorphized, thank goodness. Rathmell lets this true story more or less tell itself, since it’s deeply affecting without needing to pander to its intended audience.
The photos do the job neatly if not all that artfully, letting us see each stage of the animal’s recovery. She gets her barnacles scraped off and even gets an injection, poor thing, before she’s well enough to paddle back into the surf. Hooray!
