05/03/2021 - We are deeply saddened to report that as of Sunday, May 2, Eau-livia is no longer with us. The turtle had a lot of challenges since its arrival but despite the best efforts of the entire rehab team, Eau-livia succumbed to the injuries.

A necropsy will be performed soon to give us information that will help us understand the issues Eau-livia faced and help turtles in the future.
