This is why I just bought water turtles recently.

Turtles are the most beautiful creature on earth and they are the ones they are the true heros of reptiles.

thankyou (: x

[gungfan]

you gotta wonder how the turtle has guts to lay eggs in front of the humans

[mickeymouse2695]

i dont think your allowed to touch them

[KOHF34]

You're correct. It's highly illegal to do so. Especially with this species, a Leatherback Sea Turtle, which is listed as critically endangered.

[EdwardNygma1]

@mickeymouse2695 if you dont hurt em and just play around with em, who cares?

[bobthetomada]

thats so cool

[SxcMel01]

What Song Is This Please?

Such a Beautiful Creature <33

[BabiDaisi]

*Cries* Beautiful music, with the fact of a turtle laying her eggs!

[MoonbridgeBooks]

As she reaches the sand and the waves wash her face, you can see the "tears" she has shed from the exhaustion of laying eggs. I witnessed an event like this one night in Florida, and it was beyond words.

[atay355]

yes every turtle! does it! its makes me cry :-(

[finallynoob]

when the turtles cry,its not cause thier exhasuted or thier sad its because behind thier eyes theres something called a salt gland. The salt glands help sea turtles to maintain a healthy water balance by shedding large "tears" of excess salt. If a sea turtle appears to be "crying" it is usually not cause for alarm, as the turtles are merely keeping their physiology in check. It is not because they are upset or sad.

[malik4eve]

amazing!

[bleachblondbaby1]

thats a leather back turtle

[rory215]

That was amazing, you are truly blessed to have witnessed that! Beautiful song choice as well.

[5Pectral]

[uping7676]

that is so beatiful, truly a source of inspiration

[HadmarWieser]

I think every human once should watch this. What an effort to create new live. It definitely increased my respect for live when I saw it first in about 1990.

[troopsora]
