Clearwater Marine Aquarium releases War, Zelda and Doug

CMA released three more sea turtles and their names didn't disappoint, yet again.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — The Clearwater Marine Aquarium continued their diligence in rescuing sea turtles and other marine animals Thursday with the release of three new sea turtles. 

The names didn't disappoint, yet again, of course.

War, Zelda and Doug were released at Fred Howard Park after being rehabilitated by staff.

War had to be rehabilitated after being caught by a fisherman and the hook had to be surgically removed. Zelda's flipper had to be amputated due to a monofilament fishing line entanglement, according to CMA.

All three of the turtles have recovered well and have made a splash back home.

Previously, CMA rescued turtles named Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and Ozzy.

Hope they're having a "shell" of a time!
