Tanner and Tuesday

Omni-Amelia Island Plantation has a new mascot!  Meet Tanner the Turtle. Tanner loves to meet our guests and helps read stories during Tales with Tanner at the nature center. He also gives out treats by the pool and beach.  On Tuesday, he helped to rescue a baby raccoon that was found all alone nearby.  Way to go Tanner! Tanner thought that his new little friend, who a guest named Tuesday, might have fleas or ticks, and recommended a bath.  The poor baby's face shows you what he's feeling!


Tuesday felt much better after the bath, though.  Here he is all dry and fluffy.  Although we hated to see him go, we thought it would be best to hand the little guy over to the Wildlife Rescue Coalition in Jacksonville.  They got him hydrated but are still having a little trouble getting him to eat.  Sometimes it just takes time for them to realize that even though it's not from Mama, it's still good!
