Titan may very well be the toughest turtle in the sea. The loggerhead turtle suffered a gash from a boat propeller, lost part of a flipper in a shark bite, and survived an attack by a different shark.
Tuesday morning, Titan was among eight turtles returned to the sea after being nursed back to health over the winter and spring.
"To see Titan go back into the ocean after being hit by a boat, bitten by a shark and fighting off another shark is just amazing. There truly is no tougher turtle in the world than him."Most of the turtles fell victim to what is called "cold stunning," the near-shutdown of their organs due to lingering in waters that become too cold for them instead of migrating to warmer waters in the winter. November and December are particularly busy months for the group.
Willow also was cold stunned and emaciated when she foundered on the shore. She refused food for over a month, but eventually resumed eating and recovered.
