Texas was hit by a winter storm. What impact has it had on marine life?

Winter storms hit Texas, USA, affecting many marine life, many of which were frozen near the coast. On the coast of Texas, hundreds of turtles freeze to death and lose their mobility in the cold sea water every winter, but this winter's storm caused the sea water temperature to plummet, and thousands of turtles froze to death and lost consciousness.

These incapacitated turtles were near the coast, and local rescue organizations and volunteers began to spontaneously organize rescue for these turtles. Some turtles are severely frostbitten and even life-threatening.

1, winter storms have a great impact on marine cold-blooded animals:

Winter storms in Texas have affected many cold-blooded marine animals. Because the body temperature of cold-blooded animals depends largely on the external environment, many cold-blooded animals will rapidly decrease with the decrease of seawater temperature due to the influence of winter storms, resulting in freezing and unconsciousness.

Turtles generally live in shallow waters, so they are more susceptible to abnormal temperature changes. Even under normal circumstances, when winter comes, hundreds of turtles will freeze to death near the coast, but with the increase of temperature, these turtles can recover their body temperature and then resume their normal life activities.

The winter storm had a serious impact, and thousands of turtles froze to death on the coast. Therefore, human beings need to rescue turtles to avoid severe frostbite or even death.

The effects of the winter snowstorm will last for several days. When the temperature rises to about 15 degrees Celsius, relief organizations will release turtles into the ocean.

2. Frozen turtles basically moved to warm places:

After a large number of turtles froze to death, local rescue organizations launched rescue activities and moved many turtles indoors. At present, there are nearly 4,000 turtles living in the conference room of rescue organizations. Due to the rising temperature, many turtles have recovered their body temperature and can carry out normal activities.

However, this winter storm caused the seawater temperature to drop seriously, and many turtles were severely frostbitten, so rescuers could not ensure that some turtles could return to normal.

Although rescue organizations and volunteers have rescued most of the frozen turtles, many frozen turtles in the ocean cannot be rescued because of the cold climate.

According to the forecast of the local meteorological department, the local temperature will return to the normal level on February1day, and the ocean temperature will gradually increase, when the turtles can be released into the ocean.

The coming of winter storms has brought danger to humans and other animals, but humans have houses and tools for heating, but animals can only endure the sudden cold. Humans should also lend a helping hand to these animals to help them tide over the difficulties!
