A rare encounter

[Pinkie]

Hey everyone,
The other night we were fortunate enough to spot a group of little Natator depressus (Flatback Turtle) hatchlings. They had come from the beach across the road from where I live, and were headed the wrong way towards the city (bright lights). Thankfully we were able to alert QPWS and guide them toward the ocean by torchlight.
Enjoy the pics! There's nothing cuter than a turtle hatchling

I remember camping for a week on Tryon Island just off the Keppel group on a year 12 biology excursion,and one day under a table we were sitting round a whole clutch of hatchling green turtles came up from under the table.Maybe the shade of the table made them think it was night time,who knows.Anyway we grabbed them all and released them at the start of the outgoing tide the next night to give best chance of survival.Was a moment i will never forget!!!!
