Turtle Navigators Video

Back to Video Monday’s, this turtle video describes how turtles navigate their way to the ocean by looking at the stars. Another hatching video, it has some nice shots of the hatchlings swimming in the water.

Also, sadly, I believe this will be my last Video Monday post for a while. Seems I have exhausted quite a bit of my video resources and now I’m getting a bunch of repeat film. Hopefully I can bring the column back this summer with new vids.

Don’t fret! I have plans for a new column to take its place next week! Make sure to check back!
