The King Is Back

Thursday October 13, 2005
King Midas, a 300-pound sea turtle, has returned home to the Aquarium of the Americas. Although most of the animals were lost due to power failure resulting from the hurricane, the King, along with the penguin colony and a few other animals, survived. Right now, Midas is the only one in residence, as the Aquarium remains closed for repairs. According to the turtle:"It's good to be the King."
