Sea Turtles

As part of our ocean studies we are learning about sea turtle.  Living so close to a beach that has turtle nesting for a good part of the year is a trip.  It's one thing to read about turtles nesting but to see the actual nests and turtle prints is another.  I'm looking forward to this summer.  I really hope that we can see turtle prints and hopefully even a nest site.

Sea Turtle Documentary
This is a fascinating documentary about Leather Back Turtles.  I had no idea how amazing their anatomy is.  It does show a dissection of a Leather Back Turtle that was killed by a boat propeller and does talk quite extensively about its sex organs(which I will edit for my children) but very informational.  Two thumbs up
