Cute! So if five are settled in this exhibition, where are the other five?

The turtles were part of a “clutch” of 82 born at SeaWorld San Diego in October 2009. Sea turtles bury eggs under the cover of darkness, and aquarists at Sea World were astonished to find the hatchlings when they arrived at work one morning.

40 turtlesfrom the clutch will join the wild population when they’re released and tracked under the auspices of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Others will serve as ambassadors, on exhibit at SeaWorld, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other Institutions.
