The National Aquarium is stepping in to help sea turtles recover from a life-threatening condition called cold stun before returning them to the sea. Kai, a turtle at the aquarium, was rescued after cold stun left her unable to return to the open ocean. While turtles like Kai might have a tough shell, it offers no blanket to tuck in when temperatures drop, leaving them susceptible to the condition in the wild. Cold stun is similar to hypothermia. Habitat loss and wider swings in water temperature force turtles to swim farther for a livable environment, making it harder for them to reach safe waters when temperatures drop. #aquarium #maryland #turtles #localnews
