A Sea Turtle Picture A Day # 197


Welcome back. Today we are heading down to Rocky Point Sonora Mexico. This picture is of a Hawksbill Sea Turtle that has a satellite transmitter on its back. This female turtle was caught by fishermen and brought to a marine school. It lived here for 9 years. A researcher convinced the school that they should release this turtle and follow its movements with a satellite tag.

This picture was taken with a Nikon D-100 camera with a 20-200 mm lens.

See you tomorrow
