Texas: 4000 turtles saved from cold
Turtles are not protected from freezing even by their thick shells. More than 4000 sea turtles have now been rescued from the Gulf of Mexico and taken to a convention center to warm up. Temperatures as low as 25 degrees °F and snowfall have caused massive problems in the southern regions of the US. In Texas, thousands of sea turtles are now in need of human assistance due to these temperatures.
