Cold stunning is a phenomenon that typically affects marine animals, particularly sea turtles, when they are exposed to significantly lower water temperatures than they can tolerate. This condition can lead to a range of physiological and neurological effects, causing the animals to become lethargic, disoriented, or immobilized. In the case of sea turtles, cold stunning often occurs in the fall and winter months when water temperatures drop rapidly.
