More than 100 cold-stunned turtles rescued after washing ashore frozen in North Carolina

Researchers found 109 cold-stunned turtles on a beach in North Carolina this week in an effort to rescue them from freezing temperatures.

Of the turtles rescued this week, just 36 survived, according to the N.C. State University Center for Marine Sciences and Technology, which helped rescue the turtles and brought them to an aquarium and rehab center.

Earlier this month, research teams on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore transported even more cold-stunned turtles to rehab centers.
