The Great Turtle Race

The Great Turtle Race has begun and you can follow the plight of 11 leatherback sea turtles on their journey home. This 100 million year old tradition occurs every year as the leatherbacks make their way back to the Galapagos Islands after laying eggs in Costa Rica.

Pick your favorite and see who makes it back first (personally I’ve got pink). Only 90% of the world’s leatherback sea turtles remain so catch this while you can.
