MANGO · Ambassador MANGROVE TERRAPIN
Mango is a Mangrove Terrapin who was born with several birth defects, including his flippers, which made him unable to swim efficiently. Because of his defects, he wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild so Pelican Harbor Seabird Station applied for a federal permit to keep Mango as an ambassador and has now found permanent sanctuary with PHSS and educates the community on his species!
He enjoys swimming up to a brush in his tank to brush his carapace and people-watching from the front desk. He is estimated to have been born in early May 2022 making him a Taurus!
Adopt him today and you’ll be directly supporting Mango’s and our other turtles’ food and veterinary care.
