Recovered 200 pound sea turtle released to cheers in Florida

A 200 pound turtle headed back to sea after being nursed back to health at a turtle hospital. The loggerhead turtle was injured by a fishing line.

It was nursed back to health on a diet of squid and fish. The turtle was also given antibiotics and vitamins.

The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Florida, owns three turtle-specific ambulances. The hospital has treated and released over 2,000 turtles in its 30-year history.
