A Sea Turtle Picture A Day # 186

Welcome back. Today we are heading up to Vancouver Canada. This picture is of a captive Leatherback that is being raised in captivity so that we may better understand its growth rate. The Leatherback is the most elusive of all the sea turtles. It never stops swimming and knows no boundaries. This is why the researcher has devised this tether so that this turtle will not bump the bottom or the sides of its tank.
