i touched a dinosaur today
I measured my first live turtle during our midnight patrolling (97.3 cm). Amazement as a spectator is one thing, having the actual contact with this creature, which has just underwent a laborous 2 hours of egg laying prep, is completely another level of awesomeness. who needs sleep, when you've got the green turtle contact red bull.
here is a picture collage. will be back after cleaning duties and yoga to explain a bit about what i've learned. :) enjoy! oh, and no photos allowed dring night patrols, so stay tuned for the written description .
