Details
Tri is a juvenile green sea turtle who was found entangled in Brevard County on Feb. 3, 2022. Due to the severity of the entanglement, Tri’s left front flipper was amputated. Sea turtles are still releasable if they are missing one front flipper. Tri also had all fibropapilloma tumors removed surgically while at Brevard Zoo.
