Baby turtles

Bea and Ili helped out today cleaning algae from the shells of some captive baby turtles which were being set for release. They loved it, especially as some of them where only a few weeks old. Some of the turtles born on the islands are kept until they are old enough to hold their breath and dive under water for long enough and can therefore avoid the predators on the island and hazards such as tourist boats, of which there are plenty!
