Baby Turtles

Somehow, Baby Mutant Ninja Turtles, doesn't sound right for the title of today's post. On Saturday, a few of us, the hiking gang, hiked for an hour to reach Pantai Kerachut. It is located at the north western peak of our small little island. We never expected to get a surprise when we reach our destination, to us it was just another regular workout.

We were just resting at the beach table when the ranger told us about the baby turtles kept at the nearby hatchery. This was indeed a rare opportunity as turtles lay their eggs at certain seasons in a year. We were at first a bit hesitant to touch or hold the little ones, but after enquiring whether they would bite, we proceeded to pet them. Apparently, they were hatched a day before and the rangers kept them until they could release them at a save time to increase their odds of survival.

That time turned out to be 7.30 pm that very day. So we stayed on till 7.30 pm. A crowd was already gathering when the baby turtles was taken out from their hatchery. Everyone had a photo session before they were released. Away they crawled towards the tsunami like waves. I can't help but wonder how many of them are left now.
