Saving Sea Turtles at Tigre Salvaje

http://www.tigresalvaje.com While I was at Tigre Salvaje I got to help Dave dig up a turtle nest and place the eggs in the incubator. There they will be safe from poachers, stray dogs, and raccoon. The average turtle nest contains 90-130 eggs, the average turtle nest also has about zero chance of success unless people like Dave can get to them before the poachers.

It was awesome to be able to help in something like this. And because the turtle season is a few months long not only did I get to put some eggs in the incubator, I was able to handle some baby sea turtles that had already hatched. It was an amazing day, and it got even better in the next episode when released some turtles into the ocean.

@Wilks89 I posted this then went out of town for the weekend, then realized I had my audio levels screwed up. So I decided to post a new version of it.

Thank you! I have not seen my big brother David for 9 years. Loved seeing him and his Turtles. I talk to him once a month or so but I have not seen him. To say he has always been an interesting person would be an understatment. He is living onthe edge , we have all helped him as much as we can. If anyone feels like they can give a little money to help, it will be put to good use. Thanks again!
