The hand-sized turtles are said to be in a healthy condition and look strong."We will monitor them and then see of any need further medical treatment and if they can be released and when," said Pather.
"Fortunately the animals we received yesterday all look really health. There is one that is a little slower than everybody else, but we will watch him a lot more closely. Once we have had them seen by a vet, we will arrange for them to be released back into the ocean."
