In Rotterdam, Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo lost five turtles due to high water temperatures. The turtles were originally found on various beaches in the Netherlands last winter and were being cared for at the zoo. The zoo had brought a total of eight turtles from last winter, with one dying prematurely due to severe weakness. However, the latest five deaths were caused by an issue with the water temperature in their tank that was too warm.
A spokesperson for Diergaarde Blijdorp expressed sadness over the loss of the turtles, which were being cared for with the intention of eventually releasing them back into the wild. Two of the original eight turtles are still alive, and the zoo is now focusing on safely releasing these remaining animals.
Meanwhile, in Belgium, scientists have been puzzled by an increasing number of sea turtles ending up on the beaches of Low Countries unsure if this is related to climate change or just a coincidence. A fat-headed turtle was identified as a first confirmed species in Belgium last winter.
In addition to these animal stories, DebraBernier’s blog covers a range of topics including ear care and hearing health to home remodeling trends and benefits of hiring professional electricians. The website also explores the history, production, and usage of snus, a smokeless tobacco product popular in Scandinavia.
As time passes, it remains unclear whether this phenomenon will continue or if it is just a coincidence. Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that sea creatures receive proper care and attention in order to protect them from harm.
