TL;DR Summary

Over 100 cold-stunned turtles were rescued from North Carolina beaches, with 36 surviving after being brought to rehab centers due to hypothermia-like responses. The turtles, including green, Kemp's ridley, and loggerhead varieties, were unable to swim and eat in freezing temperatures, and are being cared for by facilities such as The North Carolina Aquarium and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.
