00:00 Well, five sea turtles stunned by the cold water off the coast of Cape Cod now have a new home in the Carolinas.
00:05 The loggerheads are being nursed back to health at the South Carolina Aquarium.
00:09 These turtles got a private flight to Charleston thanks to a group called Turtles Fly 2.
00:14 Experts say hundreds of turtles have been stranded off the New England coast in recent weeks due to rapidly cooling ocean temperatures.
00:21 Local facilities are full, so sea turtles are being sent out of state.
00:25 Each turtle was given a cheesy name, including Monterey Jack, Romano, and Gruyere.
00:30 Once they fully recover from hypothermia, the goal is to release these loggerheads back into the wild.
