Baby Sea Turtle Hatches

[horsetrixs]

-_-

[StephanieLisaTara]

TERRIFIC!!!!!!

[onesaleaday4u]

For sure

[NatureClip]

Great Video! I've requested a video response using my "Baby Sea Turtles First Journey" video - I hope you like it. The video follows (without intrusion) the turtle after hatching - answers the question of "Now what do I do?"

[AngelSparksTheEevee]

Comment below:

Idiot, they haven't even touched the turtle. Can't you see?

Btw this video is so cute. n____n

[rockharv]

Your not suppose to help them, humans can't interfere with an animals life too directly, unless they absolutely need it, or else they'll end up relying on us. Indirectly is fine, like setting up a habitat w/out it knowing or something.

[tropijohn]

at my school doing project this SUCKS!!!

[StephanieLisaTara]

i just love this...just amazing! for all turtle lovers - i wrote a book about them...see my book trailer-youtube clip :)

[nyelement007]

wow it sure would take alot of effort to have helped that turtle.

people are so useless!

[kzpopori]

2:18 "*catches breath* just let me rest."

[jamisbeast]

i used to have a turtle... he was soo cute but my mom took him away the same time she took my fishies...

[theShadowtiger6]

[YoDaddy9560]

@AnalHat You can't even afford to pay for "thousands of helium balloons every week" dumbass. Stfu you're making yourself look stupid af'.

[TheFatcat1970]

omg i did tht 4 a projet last week it was cool,then we showed this very same video at school

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

[FBGMFoool]

AHAHAHA At 1:24 when the guy says "almost there" it looks like the baby turtle says it.

[AnalHat]

I release thousands of helium balloons every week so that the sea turtles mistake them for jellyfish. I also attach 6 pack rings so the fish get stuck. I am dead serious. I really do this.

[JulesDancer143]

@AnalHat so..really, you have nothing better to do?

[sniperscope1997]

[petercmatthews]

I am looking for HD footage of a hatchling for an anti poaching ad. Can you help me?

[BlueSta1n]

this is a very beautiful thing of life.

[ArtificialCow]

cute.

[tofu4tortoise]

1 out of 5000 survive to adulthood, mainly from predators and habitat deterioration

[xxuncexx]

soup anyone?

[MissNomad428]

aww it must be so hard trying to get out without any hands :P

[rodeo699]

We arelearning about these cute sea turtules

[wlrules]

cool and cute

[destin4f]

These guys hatch under the sand, eat their yolk, and rest 24 hours before venturing to sea for a 20-mile swim to hangout in Sargassum sea weed for 10 years. To help save these endangered turtles, use green bags instead of plastic bags. Bags and other plastics pollute the sea via lakes, rivers, streams. Turtles mistake the bags for jelly fish and are dying from intestinal problems and a disease called Fibropapilloma. A plastic pile 3x the size of Texas and 90 feet deep exists in the Atlantic.

[sadothedilla]

baby sea turtles are amazing because they live on their own starting from birth. no mommy or daddy to feed them or protect them from the predators. if you think your going through shit, put ur self in their shoe.

[Goobus]

@sadothedilla baby sea turtles wear shoes?

[CrazyMetalKidd]

they are in water theyd ont wear shoe!!!!

[momaster100]

exatly

[greeneyes1310]

@sadothedilla Turtles don't wear shoes.

[animorphs123]

he has something in his eyes ._.

[purpleberry245]

PUUUUUUUUUUUUULL!!  :D

[Emila3343]

aw ;p haha this is so cute. kinda. haha. I'm writing a ten page report on baby sea turtles and this is so cute... haha I cant believe t

[foxygurl818]

poor guy

[jimmytrack]

cool

[artz900]

i ope he survives till he dies of an old age.....

[fawkes1113]

yay!! go little dude, go!!!

[Mercelius]

That video was more like a baby turtle struggling to get upright. It looked already hatched.

[howtobegirl]

uuuug! go go goooo!!!!! get out of that crap hole!!! Quick!!!

[CornwallKate]

If only their shells had a complimentary sachet of lubricant

[cryptex220]

man... help the turtle! i help my baby red eared slider get out.. and now it always likes to follow me around... do that if u want the turt to like you :)

[mudbike]

well its a wild turtle.. best to let nature take its course

[muffinkatsen]

It probably thinks your his mom. Whether you helped or not you're the first person he saw and thus thinks you're his mama. same with ducks and quail.

[cryptex220]

ok...

[carmariller523]

C'mon little man! You can do it!

[j1495bmx]

i hope that's a vocal cord!!!!!!!!

[jtmasters13]

what a vocal cord you mean umbilical cord??

[morphineangel2005]

Replying to one recent comment. I dont think youre supposed to help them out. I think one zoologist said as they hatch they get the muscle strength/tone required to start life.

[drifter8187]

Welcome to beautyful hell called earth.

[muffinkatsen]

Well the one of the main reasons its gonna be hell for that guy is because of people and the pollution they cause.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@drifter8187

Exactly.In a few days he's wanna crawl back into the egg.

[astrogeek15]

@drifter8187 where everyone is a fonetic speller!

[riku98523]

@drifter8187

Only to humans to Turtles it's probably not so bad.

[missjoyceturtle]

LOVELY!!!

[marilynrolonrivera]

what a beauty!

[LegoMGSdude123456789]

help it come out be like its mom or sumthing...lol

[peteyOOPS]

Puaha. All this baby turtle is thinking is "BITCH! Help me get out of this shell!" Sorry for the language.

[Tagg9128]

thats what i was saying lols

[peteyOOPS]

Haha. We think alike. :p

[bettyboop17d]

lol... finding nemo...hay dude. noggin dude.

[MiniStew2]

yea i know sumbody marked ur comment as negative.

[MiniStew2]

what's with the negative comment? o.o

[atmmachine11]

you can do it! i believe in you! you will get out of that egg! lol

[RadChicaa]

come on birdies!! eat the little thing!

[Oxgunter]

ur sick...

[guinea44]

they grow into such magnificent creatures. :)

[scubadivergirls]

Wow what a cute baby!

[Supercows2therescue]

ahhhhhh! its so little1 i was just in hawaii and i saw some huge ones swimming in the water.

[DavidAndRhys]

Ur NOT ment to help a baby turtle i should know because of my job. You have to let it become use to the process and if you help it you may stun it or even kill it.

[Y0U7UBEP00P]

if u ever see such and baby turtle dont touch it or help in any way. they must learn it by themselves.

[UdallIn72]

Reptiles aren't much for learning.

[phenton5634]

at 2:06 its like its saying "shoo shoo go away"

[supergurl30]

hahahaha thats like how me crawling out of bed post-hangover

[cvonal2]

mmm yep, I'd say this about sums it up.

[moebigsley1976]

What a warrior.

[normalman37]

"ugh, let me out you cruel people"

[luckylindy345]

[devinsb2]

[jeanettemckell]

Whew. . . that IS hard work!!!

[sheldon4life]

[ChurchillChick16]

[DeoxysDNA]

Sea turtles are are so cute. I think it's adorable with it's little flippers all covered in sand and everything :3

[playboyboobyhatch]

Great filming--love it.

[sol1245]

THAT TOOK FUCKEN FOR EVER....LOL

[AngelofMagic64]

did you keep him?

[adriangzz97]

aaa cute

[mamananau]

soooo cuuuuuuuuute

[imaturtlegurl]

do u know what type of sea turtle this is?

[bajabeyond]

It's an Olive Ridley which is endangered in Mexico. This little guy did make it to the Pacific.

[imaturtlegurl]

omg! i'm doing a project on olive ridleys!!!! this is waaay cool. and i'm so glad that he made it to the ocean.

[bajabeyond]

That's great. if we can be of any assistance. We suggest you take a look at our newest video from one of last year's trips. It shows the whole sequence from mother layering her eggs to the hatchlings going back to the sea. Let us know if we can be of any assistance.

[onebigmob999]

a real way to get natures face. give him some space to take his first breath.

[dannypengy99]

only about 2-3 turtle eggs hatch and make it to the ocean out of the bunch

[reallyocean]

No, nearly all of them (From a hatching of 1000 or so) make it to the ocean after they hatch.

[mccheesy27]

and most of them will get eaten, only a small bunch make it to adult hood.

[reallyocean]

I know that, but the person I responded to said that only about 2-3 make it to the water, which isn't true.

[mccheesy27]

2-3 out of 15-20.

[reallyocean]

But most of the time these things hatch they hatch with hundreds of thousands of others. After a certain amount, there are just too many for the predators to get to.

[mccheesy27]

you make a very good point, but how do you explain the decline in sea turtle population :(, both natural and human predators i suppose.

[reallyocean]

I don't explain it. That's not what we were talking about and I don't know that much about adult sea turtle population.

[irukandji88]

wow..very cool. thnxs for posting such a beautiful experience.

[fatalisrath]

lol thats kinda.......cute

[EverybodyItsJAKE]

Shows you the best things in life take time

[turtleheninny]

That is so awesome. It was all I could do to keep from reaching in and helping the little guy out. Thank you for sharing.

[proudtobefilipino92]

Hey u know wen u eat a sea turtle egg the blow it up it'll become a ping pong ball! how does a turtle egg taste? just asking... sooo cute! n u know ppl say dat that if u want a male turtle put it in a shady part n if u want a female put it not in the shady part^^ i luv turtles!!!! weeeeeee

[xpham69]

that was so cute!!

[kingconnor8]

did u cook it

[bajabeyond]

Your YouTube profile states that your friends think you are funny sometimes. This is NOT one of those times.

[phil1212owned]

Ah, grow some balls, he was kidding.

[animechica91]

Oh my God, that is not even remotely humorous.

[dask8erboi]

lol that's funny

[ro0k]

yeah thats kinda funny

[ImSpecial888]

I hope this little feller made it out okay in the Pacific. :) I'm wondering whether it is better for this weakling to go out and try to survive in the Pacific or is it better for it to be taken in and taken constant care of by humans? Which of these have a higher rate of a weak turtle surviving? :O Confuzzled

[bajabeyond]

He did and in 2007, the non-profit organization, ASUMPATOMA, who we work with, rescued and released over 5,000 hatchlings. There would be no way to assist them all. They believe humans should have as little contact as possible so they move the eggs to a protected area and when they hatch they release them to the beach, where they go to sea. Check out all the videos we have done and you can see each step that is taken to rescue and release this endangered species.

[ninetailedbleach]

no if humans interact with the newborn turtles they are more likely to die. humans should just watch and let nature do its work

[bajabeyond]

That may be the case in most parts of the world, but in Baja California there is so much poaching that if humans did not step in and move the eggs to a protected area, very few of them would make it to sea. Some people in Mexico still eat sea turtles, and sell the eggs as an aphrodisiac, which of course they are not. Just two days ago we found 12 new turtle shells in a canyon about a mile from the Sea of Cortez. Humans are the best hope for their survival.

[soniachoi1]

jw~should humans interact with the babies. like helping them make their long trek to the water? and doesnt all that sand irritate the baby sea turtles' eyes? or am i just being retarded

[bajabeyond]

The hatchlings must be allowed to go to sea on their own. That way they can implant, sort of like a GPS, where they were born so the females will come back to the same area to lay their eggs. The sand does not bother eyes. The only help we give is moving the eggs to a protected area so poachers, and animals, do not dig them up. We also assist those, like this one, who are having a hard time hatching. We keep him in the protected area until he was strong enough to go to sea, which he did.

[XDreadsterX]

thats really cool!

[RoboticDragon]

perhaps somebody was stealing the eggs and dropped one or a predator unearthed several eggs and failed to eat this one. Either way im glad he made it he looks like a leatherback to me

[bajabeyond]

True enough. There are many poachers in the Cabo area. That's why we support the non-profit ASUMPATOMA. They get the eggs from the nest and move them to protected areas. This one is an Olive Ridley. Check our other videos about the sea turtle rescue program we support.

[bramthewell]

hes so clumsy

[JohnRiddell3856]

5 stars good vid!

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

I'm just wondering why the egg was lying on top of, instead of being buried, under the sand.

[bajabeyond]

As part of our sea turtle rescue program, when the mothers lay their eggs, we move them to a protected area. See our other videos. When they begin the hatch, some, like this one, do not have enough energy to remove themselves from the egg while in the sand. So we moved him out of the sand to give him a fighting chance. When then escorted him to the Pacific. He was weak, but at least he made it to the sea.

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Okay, thanks for the explanation.

[lethalninja99]

reminds me of my turtle =)

[jennifer4u2day]

So sweet. I hope he made it to the sea.

[resistanceCHAMP]

Did it make it to the sea?

[2STEPxxx]

it was the yolk sack

[AppleCherryBomb]

What was that pink thing on it? O.o

[thiefx100]

"yoke sack, connected to him, breaks off"

[SpartanFromSpain]

nature is stunning, and beautiful

[beanfromex]
