Andre


Andre, Sea Turtle Nearly Killed by Boat's Propeller, Returns Safely to Atlantic off Florida.

They called him Andre -- an endangered green sea turtle that washed up in 2010 on a sandbar on Juno Beach in Florida, nearly dead after a boat ran him over with its propeller and tore huge gashes in his shell.

Eileen, Melissa and Jen got to meet Andre at a recent trip to West Palm.
