The shores of Oaxaca, Mexico, are the maternity ward for Olive Ridley sea turtles. Over the period of a few weeks, four million females will arrive here to lay their eggs in the sand.

I can't imagine the relief of getting in the water again for those turtles

@lyndacarter5090 4 жыл бұрын

ReyDeHielo wonder why they don’t get volunteers to shuttle them back to the water after they’re done?

@@lyndacarter5090 I guess that would be a good idea but I guess that would be intervening with the nature these turtles are and may cause them stress

ReyDeHielo maybe not as stressful as getting pecked to death by birds? Not being sarcastic. You exchange one stressor for another with every decision, it seems?

It's no wonder these female turtles are so tired. With the weight of that shell to carry around and all the traveling. I would be downright exhausted too. 🐢🐢🐢🐢💓💓💓💓

It's really sad that all of those female sea turtles are putting a lot of hard work in order to lay their eggs... only to end up being stolen by some egg poachers :(

@kirki698 Ай бұрын

Who cares if they take the eggs , mother left them and until they are born they aren't considered life . That's well known in America life doesn't start til they are born

Lived on n the beach in Puertorriqueña Escondido. We went out on a sea turtle siting. Before too long we couldn’t see land and were surrounded by these truck tires in the water. Maybe 25 to start. 45-50 before we left. Amazing!

I don't understand since the egg is cover in sand, when they hatch, how do they breathe and get out of the sand?

@s.schalkwijk3213 4 жыл бұрын

They dig their way out fast enough to be able to breathe again when they get out of the sand. So they also have to hold their breath.

The male bear doesn't take care of the cubs, the tiger doesn't take care of the cubs, male one, the lion definitely doesn't take of the cubs, where are these turtles dad? Right it doesn't take care of them. Sharks don't take of there young male. Geese and penguins okay.
