Sea Turtle Stampede


We were allowed to assist in releasing these Olive Ridley hatchlings at sunset. There were 2 bunches. Shown in this photo were 100 hatchling healthy and raring to GO!

The incredible race for survival begins. The ridley hatchlings are browner in color than our loggerheads and smaller, but no less lively!

Look closely now at the photo. Baby Ridley takes a breath of air.
Thank you so very much Sarah! You made our trip to Costa Rica magical. Thank you for the tour of the premises and the education you provided for our group. Peace!
