Blackjack: The Lucky Five
Not every turtle gets a name like Blackjack—but not every turtle has a story quite like his. First spotted on August 28, 2016, at Wadi Gimal DC Housereef, this adult male green turtle later returned to the spotlight at Gorgonia Housereef, making a total of five appearances. Whether a gambler by name or just lucky by nature, Blackjack always seems to know when to resurface.
