They drop off after 10 months so that they don't constrain the females as they grow larger. They had the data they needed. There's no sense in further stressing the animals at that point.
$460k, while a lot for an individual, is nothing in terms of research.
i can only hope that all forms or life that have existed past present or future on earth are at other locations in the galaxy, otherwise it make it that more sad,
need a smaller harness, that thing was to big.. how to you know it didnt freak him out and he started swimming some new course. Just saying make that shit smaller :P
Cool, didn't know that turtles have their own navigation system. Hope this research helps save the poor things. 90% gone in just 20 years. That is just horrible.
