So much fun with the Houston Zoo as we get ready for its 100th birthday! And I "tortoisely" love our guests.

🐢 Our first sea turtle release of 2022! This week, our Zoo team released a 95-pound subadult loggerhead off Follet's Island, which is west of Galveston along the Texas Coast. This turtle was caught by a local fisherman and swallowed the fishing hook. An additional hook from a previous fishing encounter was embedded in a front flipper. Thanks to the care provided by our vet team and sea turtle keepers, this loggerhead was able to return to the wild after receiving a clean bill of health.
