The two female olive ridley turtles, named Thunder and Lightning began their recovery at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Thunder and Lightning arrived bundled in special packaging, and after being weighed, they were placed together in their own heated saltwater pool, complete with a small underwater shelter at the bottom of the concrete enclosure, and were allowed to swim about their new home. Wildlife biologists hope that they will eventually return to the wild.
