This loggerhead sea turtle nest hatched on July 20, 2009. Due to diminishing light conditions, I switched to infrared light to video the hatchlings going into the water. This was the 2nd of 12 nests laid on Carolina Beach, NC this summer.

  • Excellent point. I suppose it is although I haven't actually seen that written. That same principle probably applies to all species of animal that produce offspring of those numbers. Obviously they won't all survive to adulthood.
