Garrett - Western Australia rehabilitated turtles - Garrett Length 23.4 cm CCL Weight 1840 g PIT tag 900006000140173 PTT 55063 biopsy F7708 This little juvenile Loggerhead turtle was found washed up on a beach in Margaret River WA on August 16th 2017. It arrived at the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre with 2 other juvenile turtles and to distinguish them the carapace was painted with green dots, so our volunteers named it after well-known Australian Greenie, singer and politician, “Peter Garrett”. Upon arrival Garrett was extremely lethargic and unresponsive, and had algae & barnacles attached to the carapace, but he thrived while in care, and ended up just as active as his namesake! On arrival Garrett’s weight was 190grams, with a carapace length of 9.5cm.
