Animal
Spotlight: Charlotte the Green Sea Turtle
 Charlotte is our resident green sea turtle in Stingray Bay.
After being struck by a boat, she had sustained injuries to her
hind quarters which ultimately caused a condition known as
'bubble butt.' As a result of damage to her spinal cord, gas
bubbles began to build in her intestinal tract, causing her to
dive with her rear end up.
Pouches were secured to Charlotte's shell to hold weights that
will help her learn to swim more naturally. The dedicated team
working with Charlotte is happy to report this therapy seems to
be helping! Charlotte's trainers have noticed improvements in her
flipper stroke, shell structure and swimming habits.

Make wildlife work for you!
Instead of using chemical pesticides to treat unwanted garden
pests, try making your garden a haven for natural predators.
Decorate old planting pots and place throughout your garden to
create abodes for toads, which are natural predators to those
pesky and unwanted garden insects.
