The female turtle, weighing about 350 pounds, became stuck on an impoundment in fresh water near NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A.
The refuge, located on Kennedy property, is a habitat for more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fish and 65 amphibians and reptiles. Photo credit: NASA/Carl Winebarger
