Sea turtle hatchlings making their way to the ocean

[Josh]

The company I work for has an annual trip and this year we all went down to San Jose Del Cabo, Baja, Mexico. I arrived back home yesterday. On Monday morning a sea turtle nest was hatching and the hatchlings were making their way to the ocean. I didn't make it down to the beach in time to see them, but here are a few photos and a video my coworkers took that I thought you all might enjoy!

OMG that is amazing!! I would give anything to have seen that in person.
Are they loggerhead turtles?
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!! I taught a unit on endangered sea turtles to my 4th graders and I bet they would love to see these pictures!

That is so cool Josh. I can't wait until Alexander and Noah get home so they can watch the video. Wow! They sure get pushed around a lot. I don't think they're very fragile with the waves hitting them like they are. I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks.

Good thing I was not there I would have scooped them up and taken them to the ocean.

Did the crowd of people shoo away the birds and crabs that prey upon the babies? That would be a gratifying job!

 

[Josh]

The crowd of people definitely dissuaded the birds from coming too close. I didn't see any crabs but I'm pretty sure the turtles had a good number of folks protecting them.

Did all of them make it becasue iv heard that birds try and eat them before they get into the sea?
