Florida Turtle Rescue: 92-Pound Reptile Airlifted by Jet Ski Dentists
Turtle rescue Florida: A 92-pound loggerhead, shell cracked and dignity dented, was plucked from a Miami boulevard by local jet ski dentists and flown, air-ambulance style, to the Turtle Hospital. Trending searches ask, 'Can turtles recover from car accidents?' and 'Why do turtles cross highways?' The shell’s damage drew gasps, locals reporting, "It looked like a living hubcap on vacation."
After its Miami shell-to-table ordeal, the loggerhead's airlift—by dentists moonlighting as jet ski pilots—drew crowds and viral queries like 'How do you save an injured turtle?' and 'What is the fastest turtle transport?' Picture traffic paused as a reptile hovercraft whizzes past honking convertibles, a surreal tableau described by onlookers as, "like Mario Kart, but with more dental floss."
The rescued turtle’s shell, measured at 2.7 feet wide, is now the only Miami resident with both a titanium plate and a signed photo from its jet ski dental team.
