About Coral
Species:
Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)
Coral is a juvenile green sea turtle that was found floating in the surf in the Fort Pierce Inlet. The turtle is displaying neurological abnormalities which may indicate a problem in the brain. Pneumonia appears to be a secondary complication. Coral also has fibropapillomatosis, which are cancerous growths caused by a virus. Coral was named by the kind people who rescued her.
