Nobody saw it coming The heartbreaking reality is that for every 1 turtle that survives to adulthood, 999 others will not make it. It is believed that the survival rate for turtle hatchlings is 1 in 1000. Although some believe it’s higher than that, 1 in 2000 and as high as 1 in 5000. Nature can be cruel, but it’s a testament to the resilience of this species and why ever encounter with a turtle is incredibly special and should be appreciated and respected. They’ve been through so much. #turtle

How would swimming with a baby turtle this small make you feel? 🐢 Green turtle hatchling season has come to an end for me as I leave the southern Great Barrier Reef for the next few months. This has been one of the best years yet. It has taught me so much and I have captured images I never thought were possible.

Ever wondered how a single green sea turtle can swim thousands of kilometers just to lay her eggs on the very beach she was born on? The incredible green turtle life cycle begins far out at sea, where adult males and females gather near nesting beaches during mating season (usually November to March in Australia). Males never leave the ocean, while females come ashore to nest—often on the same beach where they hatched decades earlier. After mating offshore, a female turtle drags her heavy body o

Turtle hatchling season has arrived! This is my favourite season on the southern Great Barrier Reef as the next generation of green and loggerhead turtles make their way from the sand dunes to the ocean. I get no greater appreciation of life than when I’m watching these teeny tiny turtles. The hardship that these turtles have to go through in the early stages of life is unlike any other animal. This will be my fourth year documenting this incredible journey and I’m excited to be hosting another

Will he make it? Turtle hatchlings only have a 1/1000 chance of making it to adulthood. As soon as they emerge from their nests they face a series of challenges and threats that they must overcome in order to survive. Because of this difficult journey, every adult turtle I see I always have admiration for it, not just because they’re so beautiful and majestic, but because they have overcome so much to be where they are. Turtles never give up. They fight through thick and thin to survive. This is

If they can make it, so can you 🐢 Green turtle hatchlings have a 1/1000 chance of survival. No matter the odds, they keep on going. Today I got to witness turtle hatchlings in the rain and rough conditions for the first time in the water and it was absolutely amazing witnessing them pushing through the waves. Every time they came up for air the hatchlings would feel the brunt of the rain. Nothing could stop this little guy from pushing forward. In the grand scheme of things, we are so tiny and

I stopped to help a turtle cross the road, but this turned into something else entirely. At first I didn’t notice—but then I saw them: two massive turtle leeches stuck to its shell. I’ve never seen anything like them in real life, and let me tell you, they’re nasty. After a little help from Google, I confirmed what they were and how to safely remove them. Normally these leeches aren’t fatal to turtles, but researchers say they can affect their health—so when they find them, they remove them. So

How does it end? 👀🐢 The journey of the green sea turtle is an uncertain one. As soon as the clutch of around 115 turtles is ready to erupt from beneath the sand, they must run the gauntlet. Using the moon’s light as a guide, the hatchlings will make their way to the ocean. This is the most crucial moment of a turtle’s life as this is where it will use the earth’s magnetic field to align its internal compass so it can return ‘home’ once she reaches adulthood. This island where she was born will

THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL TURTLE FROG (With Commentary) To further add to the obscurity of these amphibians they exhibit very different behaviour during breeding season. In spring and summer when conditions are right males will emerge from underground to call for a mate. After successfully attracting a mate the pair will actually hold off on mating on the surface, electing to burrow down into the sand together where they will wait until autumn to mate and lay their eggs. This differs from most oth

Coming in at a staggering 322 pounds, Lenny the Loggerhead Sea Turtle is a reminder of an ancient species that has thrived for millions of years. But after a vicious attack from a predator that severely wounded his head and flippers, Lenny needed a little help from modern medicine. Thanks to the dedicated staff at the Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys, Lenny was rehabilitated to full health. NBC News' George Solis was there for the big moment when this beautiful behemoth was sent back home. |

First footsteps 🐢 This little hatchling makes it’s way from its nest to the water where her huge journey begins. If this hatchling survives, it will spend the next 30-40 years out at sea before returning back to Heron to lay her eggs (providing this hatchling is female). It’s a beautiful life story and one that should be celebrated. If you see a big adult turtle, appreciate it because she’s survived countless predators and travelled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe in the current

Like a scene straight out of Disney, this is a very sweet moment, a turtle hatchling following behind a larger, mature female mother turtle. In reality, turtles will never meet their parents, unless by total coincidence in the vast blue ocean and even then, they wouldn’t know it. Once a female turtle lays her eggs, her job is done; she won’t return to check on the nest or care for the hatchlings. So, while this tender moment may just be a chance encounter, it’s a beautiful reminder of the magic

Nothing can prepare you for this You don’t know how much something can change your life until you give it a go. Remember that. Six years ago I saw my first green turtle. I remember watching it swim so gracefully and being mesmerised by its movements. I didn’t know it yet, but that moment would change everything. It would change the course and direction of my life in every possible way. That one interaction moved me away from a life I once lived into the life that I live now. From being a bummed
