“This week, thousands of sea turtles were paralyzed in the frigid waters along the Texas coastline during the unprecedented winter storm that swept across the country. In response, a small army of volunteers, many of them without power and running water, sprang into action to rescue these endangered creatures. So what caused these sea turtles to freeze up?... This is the largest cold-stunning event to occur in the U.S. since NOAA began keeping records on these events, Donna Shaver, coordinator of the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network, told National Geographic.” |
