Weighing more than 400 pounds, it took several people to get the sea turtle near the water. The near 50-year-old sea turtle washed ashore in November after eating about a half of a pound of clamshells.

The stuffed turtle took just 3 months to rehabilitate. She is one of the largest sea turtles Gulf World has ever housed.

On Thursday she returned to her home off the shores in Gulf county.
