Watch a Bowl of Baby Turtles Race to the Sea
Saturday, 4 October 2014
Lankayan Island is a small strip of sand off the coast of Malaysian Borneo. Turtle conservationists there remove eggs from the sand and hatch the babies, keeping them safe from predators both before and after they hatch. Then they are released – by the bowl full, in to the sea. As well as giving some greater hope that the species will survive, it gives us a joyful vision of infant tenacity. Filmed by Leon Duplay, these little guys were born to run!
