The child alerted his father, Hunter, who immediately contacted the Wildlife, Inc. Education & Rehabilitation Center.

Aiden was determined to stay with his new friends until he was sure that they were safe and sound.

Rescuers and authorities worked together to lift the heavy cover of the drain in order to free the tiny turtles.

They believe that the animals might have got lost after hatching. After some much-needed treatment the trio of sea turtles will soon be released back into the wild where they will be able to live freely in the ocean.
