Adult Florida Sea Turtle Crawling Onto Beach To Lay Eggs

Video of an adult florida sea turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs. The Turtles do not usually appear during the day but this old girl must have been a little confused. She figured out her mistake, went back out to sea and then returned that night and laid her eggs 30 feet from where she came ashore during the day. I have seen baby sea turtles up close but never an adult. Notice how she still has the very large eggs like the babies. Also notice the barnacles on the top of her shell. I guess that happens when you live in the ocean 24/7. This video was taken on Manasota Key in Englewood, Florida. The video was taken in July of 2007.

Wonderful footage. It's nice to see people actually respecting the turtle and staying their distance.

I'm surprised noone commented on this. It's a treat to see a sea turtle that close. She is lovely, and maybe she will come back when my family and I visit the beach.
