Enjoying the beach and seeing a turtle laying eggs.

Tonight we went to Camaronal reserve and saw Oliver Ridley turtles being born and laying eggs. It was impressive. They lay over 80 eggs in a hole and then cover it up and return to the sea. Thirteen years later these turtles will return to the same beach to lay their own eggs. We also saw some babies that were dug up by a raccoon and eaten before they were quite done developing, and other babies just coming out of the sand.
