Artemis the 200 pound Loggerhead sea turtle

October 14, 2023
Artemis is a 200 pound Loggerhead sea turtle who was rescued by MOTE Marine Laboratory. He was brought to VSC for a CT scan to see deep into the internal body cavity and determine why he was unable to dive underwater. The ability to dive underwater is a critical for sea turtles to eat and survive.
