In turtley awesome news for conservation 97 loggerhead turtle hatchlings are released from the same beach where the eggs were laid to help give them a fighting chance. At the Taronga Wildlife Hospital an estimated 40-year-old green turtle is having difficulty submerging after a suspected fishing line ingestion.

We are also introduced to the newest kid on the block with the arrival of Kareru a timid male Fennec Fox all the way from Japan to help kickstart our breeding program.
