Welcome back to a Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading back to Kona Hawaii. The picture for today is of a group of Green Sea Turtles that are basking in the sun. Basking is a behaviour that is only seen in Hawaii and the Galapagos. Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Haul out onto the beach during the day to sun themselves.It is believed that the turtle throws sand on its shell to cool itself.
When the Sea Turtles bask it is a great way for non divers to see the turtles up close.
This picture was taken with a 70-200 mm lens
See you tomorrow.
