Join us and Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants for a virtual field trip to the Florida Keys to meet the sea turtles who are patients of the Turtle Hospital. They rescue and rehabilitate injured and sick sea turtles with a goal of releasing them back into the wild. For those that can't be released, they can find a forever home at the hospital. The most common patients are green, hawksbill and loggerhead sea turtles and they range in size from babies that can fit in your hand to adults that would fill your kitchen table!
