Dhooni, a one day old hawksbill hatchling
Dhooni came to us by sea plane from Bodhu Hithi, Male Atoll. Although Dhooni was too young to determine whether she was male or female, we referred to Dhooni as her. She was very flat and was not doing very well. We were unsure if she would make it.
We treated her with fluids and provided wound care. In addition, we had to support her as she was too weak to swim. Sadly, she did not survive not survive her first night at the Rescue Centre.
