Baby Turtle Hatchling Release

This is the last release of 250 baby turtles by a conservation group in San Pancho, Nayarit, Mexico.

My friend David & I were on the beach and admiring the Sunset and enjoying the soothing sound of the waves on the beloved Pacific Ocean ... when a a man on a dune buggy pulled up and started raking lines in the sand by the water. Then he got a bucket and gingerly poured them onto the sand and the flipping began!

Soon there was a crowd to witness this instinctual time honoured journey to swim swim swim!!

At the end of this video I got creamed by a big wave and swish, most of the baby turtles went out to Sea!

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth". ~~Henry Beston~~
