To be honest I was always confused when I heard people talk about “baby turtle releases.” I thought, “sure you are releasing them, but why do you have them in the first place? Are you just catching them to release them?”<\/p>\n

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I can finally say after our experience releasing baby turtles in Puerto Escondido Mexico, I get it!<\/p>\n

The Momma sea turtles haul themselves up onto the beach after making sweet turtle love in the waves and using their hind flippers dig a large circular hole in the sand. They position themselves above the hole and lay between 80 and 200 soft-shelled, mucus-covered, ping-pong sized eggs into it. Knowing she has to leave these little guys for good (she is a sea turtle, not a hang out on the beach turtle) she covers the nest of eggs with sand, re-sculpting and smoothing the surface, and then camouflages the nest with grasses until it is completely hidden. With that her motherhood duties are done and she returns to the ocean.<\/p>\n
