36 degrees, high of 44: normal temps for his time of year, but not for Florida. Hundreds of sea turtles are being warmed up after cold waters off the Kennedy Space Centre shocked their system. NASA scientists have teamed up with conservation agents to bring in as many sea turtles as possible. The turtles are cold-stunned. That's a condition that occurs when water temperatures drop below 60 degrees. And much like humans, the turtles become very sluggish and lethargic as their body temperatures plunge in a cold environment. The animals are measured, weighed and treated for any obvious medical problems then shipped off to warmer inland facilities where they can wait out the cold temperatures. It's been twenty years since the last round of "cold-stunning" in Florida.
