Turtle Talk Tuesday: Temperature Dependent Sex Determination

6/28/2023

0 Comments

 
6/27/23 @ 8:30 p.m.

It’s Turtle Talk Tuesday and today we’re going to share a fun fact about sea turtles!

Did you know that the temperature of a sea turtle’s developing eggs determines whether or not the offspring will be male or female? In most species, gender is determined during the fertilization process, however the sex of most turtles, alligators and crocodiles is determined after fertilization. This is called temperature-dependent sex determination.

Research shows that if it turtles eggs incubate below 81.86°F, the hatchling will be male.  If the eggs incubate above 88.8°F, the offspring will be female. Temperatures that fall somewhere between will produce a mix of male and female, baby turtles.

6/26/23 @ 10:45 a.m. - This past weekend, Nassau County Animal Services participated in a Mega Adoption Event held at the Avenues Mall. Shelter and animal rescue groups from around Florida participated in the event which featured hundreds of pets and free adoptions.

We are excited to report that 33 wonderful canines from Nassau County Animal Services found homes during the 3-day event which ended with a total of 227 dogs and cats adopted from the Northeast Florida Region. Below are a few photos of Nassau County pups going home with their new owners. We love seeing all these smiling faces and happy pups!

We appreciate the employees from Nassau County Animal Services who dedicated their time this weekend to transporting pets and working the adoption event. Your hard work and efforts have not gone unnoticed.  

We would also like to thank Petco Love and Bobs from Sketchers for organizing and sponsoring the event. We are so happy that so many matches were made.
