A young loggerhead turtle, brought back to life at Dingle Aquarium, is hitching a ride on the LÉ William Butler Yeats Irish Naval ship to spend her teenage years off the Canary Islands. Cróga, named because of her brave fight to live, was just a few months old and underweight when found upside down on a beach in Belmullet, Co Mayo on Valentine’s Day. Most likely hatched near Miami, Cróga had drifted from the Sargasso Sea which acts as a turtle nursery, in a winter storm. Many of the turtles loosened from the seagrass of the Sargasso end up in the Carolinas and the coast of the Americas. It is unusual for one to make it as far as Ireland. Photograph: Domnick Walsh
