Watch this turtle come up, dig a hole (in our flower garden), lay her eggs and saunter off.

  • She came back again this year, but did it under cover of darkness... All we see is the spot dug up and the matted down grass trail in and out.

  • That was extremely cool. I have a pet snapper who has done the same thing in my backyard. None of the eggs were fertile. Have they hatched?

  • We observed small holes around the time they should have hatched. We dug in and found the remains of the shells, so we hope they made it.

  • Nature is beautiful. I hope all the baby turtles survive. Who knows, maybe they'll come back to your garden to lay their own eggs :)

  • We have been watching and waiting....

  • Stupid mosquitos!

  • Wonderful! And just the right music for the video! Thank you for sharing this small miracle!

  • thumbs up if you skiped to 2:00

  • @katieOO7 There is no way this bugs are going to get through her hide, it's like leather.

  • @jeffreyf26 Has she ever come back again?

  • why didnt it bury the eggs?

  • I hope you understand the importance of this video!!! here is the prove human and other animals can live around each others. Please never disturb this turtle even if you wanna give it water or food. She had chosen your backyard as a safe place for giving birth to new life. FREE wild animals are beautifull.

    Many times ive feel tented to capture a Flock of parrots and birds living on my backyard tree, but after i think about watching and listening to free birds while sitting on my chair is LIFE

  • Poor turtle, the misquitos must of been killing her! :(

  • love the backround music. wats it called?
