Oscar the Green Sea Turtle is starting his months-long pool party

Date Jun 5, 2025
Published in At the Aquarium

Recently, the weather in Chattanooga remained sufficiently warm to greenlight the start of this months-long pool party. Thanks to a lot of experience and prep work, moving this 161-pound reptilian heartthrob was smooth sailing for the Aquarium’s care team!
