Eve

juvenile Olive Ridley turtle (RB.LO.147), admitted 25 December 2018, COMO Cocoa, S.Malé Atoll, Maldives

Weight / Length: 3.5kg / 29.4cm (on admittance);

Eve arrived at our Centre on Xmas day, after being rescued from a drifting ghost net by staff at Como Cocoa (S.Malé Atoll).
Her front right flipper has a fracture near the shoulder, so we are currently using a splint to support the limb. We hope that the flipper heals, and that she will not require an amputation.
Eve is otherwise very active and has started feeding on fish and crab.
