Let's Celebrate Turtle Adoption Day!

Celebrated Every November 27th.

Turtle Adoption Day, celebrated every November 27th, is a special day to shine a light on these amazing creatures and encourage support for turtle rescue organizations. It’s all about raising awareness for the conservation of endangered turtle species and how small actions can make a big difference in protecting these slow but mighty animals.

A Few Turtle Facts...

• Leatherback turtles are highly migratory, traveling over 10,000 miles annually between nesting and feeding areas, and are expert divers, with the deepest recorded dive nearing 4,000 feet—surpassing most marine mammals.
• Only a tiny fraction—less than 1%—of turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood, mainly because of predators.
• Turtles are cold-blooded reptiles that rely on their environment for body heat, so they brumate—a state similar to hibernation—during cold temperatures.
• The temperature of a turtle’s nest during incubation decides its sex.

A Few Ways to Celebrate Turtle Adoption Day...

1. Learn more about turtles by watching documentaries, reading reputable articles or books, and researching online to deepen your understanding of these remarkable creatures and their conservation needs.
