Nature Turtles


I was going to put up photos of the house but this is MUCH more interesting.
Yesterday we went to an "inventory" for the discovery museum.
3 Days after a nest of sea turtles hatch, they dig it up by hand and see how successful the nest was. This nest was very successful.
There were only 3 strays left, already hatched.
No unhatched shells!


The holes are VERY deep and there is a perfect pocket at the bottom of this hole

Once we finished emptying the nest we released them on the beach and let them crawl back into the ocean.
Push play to see them crawling.
