He has grown to over 4x the size he was when he was brought in to BAMZ in late 2012 after suffering a serious injury which resulted in his losing his front left flipper.

The Green Sea Turtle, as well as a juvenile Loggerhead Turtle, were ferried out on The Endurance boat to a location about five miles east of Bermuda and released into a large patch of Sargasso seaweed.
