Green Sea Turtle gets to pick her own name

A few months ago, SEALIFE Minnesota Aquarium welcomed two Green Sea Turtles into our family, hoping to get them into the tank for everyone to see right away. Unfortunately, at the scheduled time of release, one had an infection that meant she couldn't join her friends in the Atlantis exhibit. Now, after weeks of treatment, she is ready to join the other Green Sea Turtle, sharks and sawfish in her new home!

But first, she needs a name! During her stay here, she's been known by many different nicknames to our visitors and staff, but we think it's time that she's officially named, and we need your help!

Here's what's going to happen: on Thursday morning, the Green Sea Turtle will be offered six special lettuce treats, each representing a name choice. The first three "names" she eats will then go to our Facebook fans for the final decision.  By Thursday afternoon, fans will be able to participate in the poll to select her final name.
