Injured Loggerhead Turtle found on Seabrook Island

Quick thinking guests on Seabrook Island alerted the island's turtle patrol of a stranded loggerhead turtle.

Poor fella must have had an encounter with a shark. He (or she) was rushed to the SC Aquarium Sea Turtle Hospital.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed he/she makes it. http://ping.fm/w9rhf
