Yawkey the Leatherback Sea Turtle Release

I feel so privileged our class was able to visit the Sea Turtle Hospital at the SC Aquarium yesterday and saw this beauty!  Honestly, that was probably my favorite part of the trip!  What is even more amazing is that we saw this amazing animal very soon before being released back into the ocean.  Here is the video of the release put on YouTube the very day we left! **Please note the advertisement may not be appropriate for your child.
