Turtles of the A&N - 1

The beaches of the A&N Islands are nesting sites of 4 of the species of sea turtles - the Olive ridley, the Green sea turtle, the Giant Leatherback and hawksbill. Here are some pics of these nesting turtles from different parts of this island chain

  1. I love this blog, is really amazing. The turtles are my favorite animal because they are quiet and they never represent a danger for anybody. This is the main reason why i love it. And how big they can be. Simply wonderful.
