Cold-stunned Kemp's ridley turtle rescued in Wales set for 5,000-mile return journey
A rare Kemp's ridley sea turtle, named Rhossi, was discovered nearly dead on a beach near Rhosneigr, Anglesey, in December 2023. The juvenile turtle, less than two years old, had become cold-stunned after drifting into waters far colder than its natural habitat. After receiving care following its rescue, Rhossi is now preparing to make the approximately 5,000-mile journey back to its home in the Gulf of Mexico. The case highlights the dangers faced by young sea turtles that stray into the cold waters off the British coastline.
