Dilly Dally the sea turtle returns to the ocean after flipper amputation

  • On June 4, 2025, a young loggerhead turtle called Dilly Dally was released back into the Atlantic Ocean at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center located in Juno Beach, Florida.
  • Dilly Dally was rescued in January with severe predator wounds to her front flipper, which required surgical amputation three weeks after arrival at the center.
  • The turtle stayed at the center for five months, received antibiotics, and had a satellite tag attached to track her movements after release.
  • Dilly Dally weighed about 156 pounds at release and was cheered by dozens of supporters as she crawled into the ocean, with the center stating, "Dilly Dally is back home."
  • The satellite tracking will provide real-time data on her acclimation in the wild, which may inform conservation efforts for injured sea turtles facing ongoing threats worldwide.
