Turtle Race!

In an effort to bring awareness to the endangered Leatherback Turtle, a turtle “race” is beginning from their feeding grounds in Costa Rica to the Galapagos Islands. I’m betting Champiro is going to win! She is clearly motivated to help save her species. She has nested 12 times this season! She’s one of the largest as well!
You go girl!

Here is a link. It is a 2 week race starting April 16th

Our turtles will be snacking on food pellets while they wait for the results. Should we ever have a race here at home, I bet Mud Turtle would win. No one would see him during the race, he would just magically appear at the end. With only his 3 little legs, Craig would come in 2nd. Big Momma & Sick Turtle (who is no longer sick) would be the last two only because they are afraid to pass up Craig (he bites).
