YOSHI’S JOURNEY
WHAT weighs 183kg, swims an average of 48km a day and has stolen the hearts of thousands of people?
One amazing whopper of a turtle, that’s what.
Ever since arriving in the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town 20 years ago, Yoshi the loggerhead turtle has been making waves – and now that she’s been released into the wild, she’s become one of the most monitored animals in recent marine history.
Experts from Cape Town to Sydney are keeping track of Yoshi’s movements as she paddles her way across vast swathes of ocean, dodging giant tankers and giving predators the slip as she goes in search of her happy breeding ground.
