The New England Aquarium in Boston, Mass., U.S., has been treating "cold-stunned" sea turtles stranded on U.S. beaches. Recently, the aquarium received over 150 sea turtles rescued by volunteers working for the Massachusetts Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Among them were 120 critically endangered Kemp's ridley turtles and 33 green turtles. The sanctuary says cold-stunning in the Massachusetts area occurs when animals get trappped in its Cape Cod Bay and become unable to move to warmer waters further south.
