Cohen

Cohen is an adult, female diamondback terrapin hit by a vehicle on the Tybee Island Causeway in 2006.  She arrived at the GSTC from St. Catherine’s Island in June 2007.  Cohen suffers from permanent neurological damage resulting in limited use of her rear legs.  In deep water she cannot keep upright and on land she cannot move fast enough to escape predators.  Unable to survive in the wild, Cohen will remain at the GSTC to serve as an ambassador for her species.
