Mote Marine Laboratory bid a fond farewell to Teddy, a green sea turtle that was rehabilitated at Mote. Because of an old wound, Teddy had a condition that made him a poor candidate for release to the wild. Instead, Teddy will help educate Nebraskans about green sea turtles and efforts to conserve their species from a new home at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Neb.
Teddy was flown to his new home by FedEx on Friday, May 1.
