BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — It was a day of "shell-ebration" for Brevard Zoo staff as they returned a rescued sea turtle to the ocean Tuesday morning.
After a two-month stay at Brevard Zoo's Sea Turtle Healing Center, the turtle, named Scatman John, was scheduled to be set back to sea.

The Sea Turtle Preservation Society brought Scatman John to the Healing Center after he was found lethargic near a hotel. The center diagnosed the turtle with a bacterial infection and got to work getting him in tip-top shape.
Crews were set to release Scatman John back to the ocean at Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront near where he was found.
