After 9 months of rehabilitation at Israel’s Sea Turtle Rescue Center, a loggerhead sea turtle named Stitch made her way back into the Mediterranean Sea. A fisherman found Stitch in December with a fishing hook lodged in her mouth, which caused water to fill in her lungs. Loggerheads can live over 70-80 years. Olga Rybak, who works at the Rescue Center, estimates that Stitch is 20-30 years old. Dozens of people watched with joy as Stitch finally swam to sea at the Palmahim National Park, south of Tel Aviv.
