Now in her late 20’s, Snorkel our Loggerhead Turtle is one of the aquarium’s most popular inhabitants. A rescue turtle, Snorkel was found washed up on a Cornish beach in 1990. She has numerous health problems including poor eyesight and buoyancy issues, but lives a happy life here at the National Marine Aquarium. She eats over 100 squid every week, with the occasional treat of mackerel. She can be found swimming around her Coral Seas home which she shares with numerous sharks and fish. After investigating her tank, Snorkel often stops for a nap, when she will hold her breath for over an hour.
