Houston Zoo

Saving Sea Turtles in the Wild

Sea turtle rescue! Our vet team worked with our partners at Texas A&M University at Galveston’s Gulf Center for Sea Turtle Research to examine five injured sea turtles. The goal for all these turtles is to provide medical care, good nutrition, and a safe place to recover until they are ready to be released back into the wild. Every time you visit the Zoo, you help us provide lifesaving care for sea turtles in the wild.
