This December 9, 2025, photo shows a staff member at the Florida Keys-based Turtle Hospital tending to some of the 25 cold-stunned Kemp's ridley sea turtles, after they were flown from the New England Aquarium in Boston to the hospital in Marathon, Florida, to warm up and be rehabilitated for eventual release. The critically endangered turtles were found stranded recently on the coast of Cape Cod, Mass., as a result of the condition. "Cold stunning" is a hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to cold water for a prolonged time. It typically causes them to stop eating and swimming.
