liberation of the baby sea turtles....

Tonight I liberated baby sea turtles. They obviously hatched and started heading completely in the wrong direction and about 100 of them or so ended up on the tennis court...

They have alot of energy for animals that were just hatched. Those babies just don't stop kicking not even for a second, except for this one that just chilled in the palm of my hand...

It's sad to think that most of them will die..It's nature's way I guess but man nature is harsh...It's also crazy to think that those who do survive, no matter where they end up later, when it's time to lay eggs, they're gonna come back to that exact same beach...How do they know?? They couldnt' even find the water in the first place....

I wanted to take one home and love it...but it's illegal. They'll be back...that's for sure....

sad...
they really are amazing creatures though. a very cute one named Marshall Tito comes to feed at my beach every morning. I swim with him and the neighbour feeds him. It's really an awesome thing...

turtles are cool. one time i saw one beat up a rhino with a stick. the rat just nodded in approval.
