Hey there, folks! I'm Montel, an adult green sea turtle and do I have a story for you! Anything that could happen to a sea turtle, has happened to me. I was rescued back in 2001 due to a long list of injuries: entanglement in fishing line, fibropapilloma tumors growing on my soft tissue, Bubble Butt Syndrome due to a boat strike, and was attacked by a shark. The tumors also infected my right eye which ended up being removed. It would be really difficult for me to live on my own out in the ocean, so I became part of the family at The Turtle Hospital, where it is safe for me. Since I went through a lot of drama at the start, my rescuer named me after "The Montel Williams Show." Come to find out, back in 2021, I was identified to be a female. I am pretty laid back and easy going, always looking for tasty treats.
