“Every time we can release a turtle back into the wild is special and not just for us but for all the interns and volunteers and everyone that puts an effort to getting these turtles back out there. It’s always a really special day,” said Marika Weber, a veterinary technician at the center.Stormy weather on Wednesday almost caused Dilly Dally’s release to be postponed. But they packed the turtle up and drove the short distance to the beach. A crowd of beachgoers cheered as the turtle made its way to the ocean.

A satellite tracking device attached to Dilly Dally’s shell will allow the center and the public to follow her journey.The center partnered with the Smithsonian to get the satellite tag, which was attached on Tuesday.“So now Dilly Dally has an active live satellite tag on her and we can get real-time data on where she goes, which is really exciting because we don’t really know what happens to our three flipper turtles once you release them, Weber said. “Now we know if their migration or foraging patterns change and it’ll be really helpful to see what happens to these patients.”

All sea turtles are endangered or threatened species.“So every sea turtle that we can save and get back out there is the win for the species.”

Frisaro reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Recently on Ikitsuki, three men performed a rare Orasho. All wore dark formal kimonos and solemnly made the sign of the cross in front of their faces before starting their prayers — a mix of archaic Japanese and Latin.

Tanimoto, a farmer, is the youngest of only four men who can recite Orasho in his community. As a child, he regularly saw men performing Orasho on tatami mats before an altar when neighbors gathered for funerals and memorials.Masatsugu Tanimoto, a farmer and a community leader who is one of only hundreds of so-called “hidden” Christians on the island of Ikitsuki, shows a notebook of handwritten “orasho” prayers passed down orally for generations at his home in Ikitsuki Island in Hirado, southern Japan, Sunday, April 27, 2025.
