MARATHON, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida sea turtle has made a return to the wild.
The 230-pound male loggerhead was released in Marathon on Friday after undergoing rehabilitation at the Turtle Hospital.
The marine Reptile, named Sheldon by rescuers, was found in a crab trap line earlier this month.
The turtle made a speedy and full recovery in only two weeks.
Sheldon headed back into the open ocean just in time for mating season.
