Count Me In

Green Sea Turtles migrate to long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches, with many islands worldwide known to be turtle islands, where green turtles nest on their beaches. Female turtles crawl out on the beaches, dig nests, and lay their eggs at night. Later on, hatchlings emerge and scramble into the water, where they would live up to eighty years in the wild. A few characteristics distinguish the green turtles from other members of their family. Its snout is short, and its beak is not hooked.

When people go to the beach and swim in the water, some would normally want to have a group photo. In this picture, a group of people had an unexpected addition to the group. A green sea turtle swam by as the camera shuttered, capturing the picture-perfect shot of its cute face as if its eye is looking at the lens of the camera—credit to the turtle.
