After a transoceanic rescue, an endangered sea turtle was released into the Gulf of Mexico.

A current has thrown the rare Kemp's ridley turtle from warm waters into the dangerously cold North Sea. The turtle was caught in the net of a fishing boat off the coast of the Netherlands, 8047 kilometers from its native waters. But thanks to a lucky break, the rare animal was saved. 

Reportedly, the sea turtle, weakened by the cold, was taken to the Rotterdam Zoo and fed. The turtle was named Boer, in honor of the Dutch boat that found it.

About a year after it was found, following a medical examination and acclimatization process, the turtle returned home; it was released into the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Houston Zoo.
