The injured Loggerhead is believed to have been injured after colliding with a boat
An injured sea turtle is being brought back to health after its rescue by Civil Guard officers near the beach in La Rábita, on the eastern coast of Granada province. It’s believed its injuries could have come from a collision with a small boat, which led the reptile to become disorientated and ending up on the shore.
The turtle is reported by EFE to be a Tortuga boba – a Loggerhead Sea Turtle – which is normally found in the deep waters of the eastern Mediterranean. The rescued reptile is a 120 cm adult and is believed to be around 30 years old.
