A 250-pound loggerhead sea turtle named Wilbur, stranded in mud off Highway 80 on Tybee Island, Georgia, was rescued by volunteers and DNR biologists after a 3+ hour effort and returned safely to the ocean; she deposited a single egg during rescue that researchers are using for genetic study during a record-breaking nesting season for the endangered species.
