No idea. ..but what did you do with the little guy. Maybe contact someone at the aquarium. Then again as murphy would have it ..you get into trouble for touching the thing.

Looks like a juvenile Leatherback. Not sure though!

it may be a juvenile loggerhead turtle, but that guy is far from his home on the north east coast reefs

seems to be the case yes, thanks guys...

apparently its the time of year when they get washed up on our shores accidently, but should anyone find one please do not return them to the water, instead call these guys from the two oceans aquarium 021 418 3823 as the turtles usually are to weak to swim again
