Baby Sea Turtles

One day on the job we were learning how to clean the turtle tanks. Upon walking into the turtle's tank I saw what appeared to be baby turtles lining the perimeter of the tank. I asked the instructor if they had any baby turtles, but she said they did not. When we got to where they were sitting the instructor saw that they were babies but she assumed they were dead. Knowing better I quickly got a bucket with water and place the babies inside. I got the LSS (Life Saving Support Team) to take care of the turtles and nurture them back to good health. We used nail polish to help strengthen the turtles shells so they would survive better. Thanks to our quick action they recovered and were not eaten by the older turtles. They are currently at the front of the center for all the visitors to see. In total all eight turtles survived and were named after famous sea turtles from movies.
