Lindsey and her sister, Whitney, came up with a plan to surprise their mom for Mother's Day weekend on Thursday (May 6). Their mother's reaction was priceless as she hugs Lindsey with joy and excitement. Lindsey told Newsflare: "I live in Maryland, and my family lives in Florida. I only see them two to three times per year, and the last time was August...So many calls where she would beg me to come or ask when I was coming made it hard to keep the secret, but it was worth it."

There are 1,108 terrapins receiving care from the programme, which has reached capacity.
If you find a hatchling, Stockton recommends placing the animal in room-temperature water up to the shell with a rock it can climb on.
Healthy turtles can be released at dusk into a tidal creek or bay area.
