On 15 September 2009, Edgar, a loggerhead sea turtle, will turn 17. The gifts that Edgar may look forward to, are a squid-flavored birthday cake and plenty of shell rubs.

Edgar was rescued by members of Mote’s Sea Turtle Conservation Program who monitor more than 30 miles of Southwest Florida beaches for sea turtle activity during the May through October sea turtle nesting season. Edgar was a palm-sized hatchling in 1992, and state officials decided that the turtle could not be released into the wild. Among the reasons - the light color of the shell was a risk for sunburn. Today the 104-pound Edgar is well on the way to a 30 year maturity.
