Three Caret Turtle hatchlings on the beach

Three Caret Turtle hatchling on the beach of Crete

They have the size of the palm of your hand. They have just been peeled out of their eggs. Born late; their hatchling brothers and sisters came out by themselves about ten days earlier. These ones got birthing assistance by a marine biologist and volunteers of Archelon the Carte Turtle Protection Organization of Greece.

In the next days we'll follow one of these hatchling on its way to the water of the Mediterranean. A walk of about 20 meter, a very long way for these little ones.

Have a nice day!
