Endangered turtles head to new homes

QUINCY, Mass. -- Endangered sea turtles recently found off the shores of Massachusetts are heading to their new homes.

About 100 turtles have washed ashore in the last few weeks.

The New England Aquarium took the turtles to its animal care center in Quincy until they were cleared to leave.

Last week, five were flown to the National Aquarium in Baltimore, with others going to Virginia and Maine while 68 turtles remain in Quincy.
