Thousands of 'cold stunned' sea turtles were rescued off the southern coast of Texas as temperatures plunged amid a winter storm in the state.
The brutal cold snap that has frozen Texas hasn’t only numbed unprepared people to the bone – thousands of turtles have been caught off-guard too.
Thousands of sea turtles unused to the plunge in temperatures have been washing up on the beaches of South Padre Island, off the southern coast of Texas. Volunteers have brought some 4,700 of them to a convention center, where they are being kept in tubs and enclosures before they can be released when the water is warmer.
“It’s an unprecedented event,” said Wendy Knight, executive director of research and conservation center Sea Turtle Inc, which has been helping the effort. Knight said normally only 100-500 turtles wash up on the beaches in south Texas each winter.
Millions of Texans have been left without heat due to energy blackouts in the state triggered by a cold spell in which both air and water temperatures have dropped well below typical levels.
Caum refers to the turtles as being “cold-stunned” – a condition where cold-blooded animals suddenly exhibit hypothermic reactions such as lethargy and an inability to move when the temperature in the environment around them drops.
“We’ve brought them to the convention center to get their core temperatures back up,” said Caum, narrating one of the videos.
In the latest video posted on Facebook on Wednesday, Caum related how the center’s power and water supplies were restored overnight.
“We’ve expanded down both wings. The heat is coming back up in the corridor,” Caum says as the video shows a passageway filled with turtles lying end-to-end on blue canvas.
“We’ve collected a lot, now, we’ll try to save them,” Caum said.

'TOO
'Too-late'-to-stop-spread-of-omicron-Covid-variant,-warns-science-adviser
t is "too late" to effectively halt the spread of the omicron variant in the UK, a government science adviser has warned.
On Saturday, it was announced all travellers arriving in England will be required to take a Covid-19 pre-departure test from Tuesday - while Nigeria is being added to the Government's travel red list.
Ministers said the extra test was intended to be a temporary measure following new data showing an increase in the number of cases of the new strain linked to foreign travel.
But Prof Mark Woolhouse, who is a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (Spi-M) which advises the Government, said the measures would not make a "material difference" as the variant is already "spreading pretty rapidly".
