After 1 003 days, 40 011km, 23 509 transmissions, 2 oceans, 4 countries and millions of fans - #Yoshi's satellite tag has finally stopped transmitting. The greatest turtle of all time is at last, truly, on her own! 🐢 aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/yos… #farewellyoshi

This is not the end of #Yoshi's journey by any means! With 60 years of life ahead of her, and the possibility of breeding on the fertile and protected coast of #WesternAustralia, we're expecting plenty of baby Yoshi's in the future! aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/yos…

But, those babies will face the same man-made ocean dangers their mom did. To help the survival odds of all sea turtles, the TOA Education Foundation runs a highly successful #seaturtle rescue and rehabilitation programme that you can support here: aquariumfoundation.org.za/support-our-ca…

In the meantime, here is our tribute to Yoshi. Viva Yoshi!!

We would like to thank @environmentza and the countless local and Australian scientists, conservationists, trackers and government officials who have supported this journey. And, of course, the millions of Yoshi fans we are positive gave her the encouragement she needed!
