Endangered sea turtles and other marine wildlife have found refuge in a new coastal rescue center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Threatened by erratic weather patterns, sea turtles, manatees, dolphins, birds and other animals are rescued and rehabilitated by the Texas State Aquarium's Port of Corpus Christi Center before being released back into the wild.
Like other reptiles, sea turtles are limited in how much they can regulate and control their core body temperatures. Ullmer explained how cold-stunning events cause sea turtles' heart and respiratory rates to drop dangerously low, along with a dramatic slowdown of their metabolisms.
