Aquarium releases turtle to the wild

A loggerhead sea turtle named Dylan who has spent the last two years at the Georgia Aquarium is headed home. This morning aquarium veterinarians loaded the seven-year-old into the back of a van for a six-hour ride to Jekyll Island on the Georgia coast. That's where Dylan was first discovered as a hatchling straggler left behind by his nest mates. It’s where he now will be prepped for release back into the wild.
