タロンガ動物園さんのインスタグラム写真 - (タロンガ動物園Instagram)「We were able to release two female Green turtles back to the wild last week after they had received life-saving care at Taronga Wildlife Hospital in Sydney. One of the Green turtles was rescued and brought to us in March in a bad way from Lake Macquarie. X-rays revealed she had ingested seven fishing hooks, and the hospital team performed a five hour-long surgery to remove them and to repair her intestines, which had been damaged by the fishing line attached to the hooks. Incredibly, she made a remarkable recovery. The other Green turtle was admitted to the hospital in April very unwell. Upon examination, the team discovered she had swallowed fishing line. No hooks were present, and she passed the line safely without the need for surgery. Before their release, both turtles were fitted with satellite trackers as part of our Taronga Marine Turtle Satellite Tracking Program. The research program, funded by Veolia Australia & New Zealand, monitors survival and movement of rehabilitated turtles and provides data on critical habitat use in NSW. The turtles were returned to the ocean just outside Sydney Heads thanks to a joint operation by Taronga Wildlife Hospital and @marineareacommand Every year, 1500 animals are admitted to Taronga Wildlife Hospitals, and Taronga is the leading contributor to veterinary services in wildlife treatment and rehabilitation in NSW. #forthewild」6月7日 8時00分
