Juvenile Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) (CM26-100)

Butterball is a juvenile green sea turtle that was caught at the Juno Beach Pier by a fisherman. The line wrapped around the turtle was removed prior to intake, but no injuries were noted. We are unsure if any line was swallowed. They are on antibiotics and fluids.
