Welcome back to a Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading down to Mexico to the state of Colima. I was volunteering at a sea turtle hatchery there last year and had the opportunity to see some amazing things. One of my favorites is to watch the hatchlings as they head down the beach towards the ocean. It is believed that some how the hatchling is imprinted by this process and in 10 to 15 years she will crawl up this very beach and lay eggs.
This picture is of a Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchling making its way towards the ocean
This picture was taken with a 60 mm lens
See you tomorrow
