I just love how sea Turtles remember where they were born and willingly choose to have their babies in the same place. I just love how it seems like they have a concept of "home".

I've had the pleasure of seeing this 4 or five times. Leatherbacks lay eggs on the Florida coast. One time. The hatched turtles were confused as to which direction they should go and were headed toward the buildings. I used a flashlight to imitate the moonlight, as the moon was not out, and they turned around and headed into the water. About 60-80 of them.

Baby lions: mom help me I'm scared.
Baby turtles: TO VALHALLA!

No wonder these fellas outlive us! They're on their own from the second they hatch out.

Baby lions when they are born: mommy pick me up im scared




Baby turtles when they are born: *ALRIGHTY BOIS WE ARE HEADING TO BRAZIL*

No joke, I'm getting emotional over this. The miracle of new life does that to me.

The same surviving hatchlings will return to that exact same beach to lay their eggs ; D

As awful as humans usually are, it's heartwarming to see how we can protect these sea turtles babies and give them a better shot at life.

Baby Turtle: Literally having to dig after they hatch.

God bless these beautiful turtles. It’s a wonderful sight to snorkel or scuba dive and see them gracefully swimming nearby.

This makes me to happy. They are all so beautiful.

[heretic]

Such precious things! I hope they continue to flourish into the future.
It makes me happy to see people help them in this dangerous period of their life.

I can understand wanting to document via film sea turtle hatchlings, but do NOT understand why you would be wearing a head light when the scientific literature makes clear that light (moon or sunlight) provides turtles with an orientation to get to the sea. In this video, with your headlight bearing down on them, they all seemed confused about which direction to go in to get to the sea. It seemed invasive to me.

Turtles get born and immediately get put into war 😂

[songyi]

I love the way they wattle to the beach so much I love bb turtles and turtles they just so stinking cute 😭

I came home from work today needing to see turtle hatchlings. I was reminded today of my father telling us siblings "we're off like a stampede of Turtles...look at 'em go!" Miss you dad!

Turtles are brave since they're baby they travel alone without mama, it's kinda sad to me, but thats nature, we're so lucky to be a human and we're responsible what happening to our surroundings.

Baby turtles gotta be one of the cutest and clumsiest animals 😂😂
