Meet Our Young Sea Turtle!
Curious and gentle, green sea turtles have always been one of the most popular animals at the Aquarium. Recently we added a young turtle, Azul, to the Open Sea exhibit for the first time. The eight-year-old is being “mentored” by one of our large turtles, estimated to be in her 60s.
So what can you teach a turtle? Plenty, it turns out. Azul is learning how to navigate the exhibit and live alongside pelagic rays, hammerhead sharks, our rapidly growing ocean sunfish and dozens of other animals. The young turtle is also being “target trained,” so it will know to come over at mealtime.
Feeding time in our Open Sea exhibit is carefully choreographed, with five species simultaneously being fed around the rim of the million-gallon display, far above the visitor viewing area. In one corner, the pelagic ray is fed squid, fish and shrimp. Nearby, other aquarists offer fresh salmon steaks to two species of hungry sharks. On a long gangplank extending over the middle of the exhibit, another staffer hand-feeds the ocean sunfish. And, in yet another part of the exhibit, two more staff feed the turtles bell peppers and romaine lettuce, luring them over with colored floats, which they’ve learned to associate with food.
“Our experience is that these turtles are very social,” says Senior Aquarist Veronica Franklin. Unfortunately, this means they’re keenly interested in what everyone else is having for lunch. They also like to “surf” the small jet streams that circulate water into the exhibit. At times, just like a day at elementary school, it can be a little challenging to keep everyone focused and in their respective places!
Each turtle target comprises a long pole with a pool float on the end. Azul’s float is blue and white, while the larger turtle’s float is yellow with a black stripes. Believe it or not, says Veronica, “they can really tell the difference.
“It does seem to help for Azul to have a mentor,” says Veronica. “The young turtle is getting along with other species. We’re always observing the dynamics, and Azul is growing and doing just fine.”
Sun Therapy
Another pair of turtles, just like the two on exhibit, is in a separate holding facility just outside the main exhibit. Eventually, that pair will be rotated onto exhibit, and the two you see now will be moved outside. Sea turtles require occasional sun therapy to help with vitamin D absorption, making such rotations a regular occurrence.
Having the turtles outside the main exhibit also gives aquarists an opportunity to conduct “enrichments” to keep them healthy and stimulated. This can include extracting food from a block of ice, pushing around a length of pool hose or playing with kelp strands. Aquarists have even constructed a “turtle tent” from plastic pipe that serves as a navigation challenge and a post to rub their carapace on!

I don’t even know what to say
People think they know you, assume things about you, easily judging you, and have this complete unrealistic idea of the imaginary you that they conjure up. they think i don’t know what i’m doing but its them who doesn’t know who their judging.
We have been friends for at least 6 years and through knowledge and experience you think you know me down to every little detail. You predict the choices i made and guess correctly how i react to certain things. So i admit you knew me pretty well But the moment you wanted to be someone im not was the moment you lost me. the moment you guessed incorrectly about how i felt and didnt accept it, was the moment you stop looking at me and started judging me. you think because im different now its bad. Maybe its bad for you, because you miss the way things use to be, You wanted the old me so you fiercely reject the new me. Your stares penetrate through me and your unspoken thoughts explode on me. Your kind eyes turned deadly when i decided to do things for myself. your judging me, you want me to be the same person and do the same things act the same way. but i hope you understand that, We entered into a new environment. We can no longer act like everything is the same when the situation has been completely changed. You see the changes in me and you despise it, even worse you even despise me. I hate having to answer to your questions and reminding you that i feel pain too. that i still have a heart n i cry too. when i make decisions you don think i overly stress for days and weeks and weigh the pros and cons. you think that once a decision is made i become cold n numb n feel nothing at all. I have learn to accpet the consequences of my actions and lonely carry the burden of my choice. i smile thru the pain and you see the smile and you believe it. You see that i have no pain just great pleasure. Your so focused on me that you don’t even realize you yourself has changed. The old you would have saw suffering thru my eyes. The old you would have known that i carry a heavy pain even if i grin. Because you believed i turned in to a monster you without knowing it because a monster hunter. Hunting me down and judging me, capture me in this worthless imagine and you just believe the hype of what you see. You use to know me so well.. I wish you still did, because then you would see that im in just as much pain, i shed just as much tears, that i am at war within myself and im screaming for your help but you shoot me with your imaginary gun and your bullets believe that what they are killing is a beast who has no heart. no soul no chance to see the real me because you are so caught up in your unrealistic beliefs of who i have become. i hope maybe one day the old you will really look and see that the old me is still here, you just really have to understand and know me like you did before.
