Sea Turtle Rescued From Cold

(San Diego, CA) -- "Sir Acha" the sea turtle is now safe and warmer in California after being rescued from the chilly coasts of Oregon. Officials say faced an untimely demise when he got too cold off Oregon's coast, resulting in a phenomenon called "cold-stunned." NOAA says cold-stunning happens when a turtle is exposed to cold water temps below 50-degrees. It makes them weak and inactive and unable to swim. The Oregon Coast Aquarium rescued the Olive Ridley, stranded near Waldport, Oregon, and the non-profit "Turtles Fly Too," got Sir Acha to SeaWorld San Diego.
