Sea Turtles are one of the few animals which will swim thousands of miles in our oceans only to end back up on the beach which they were born. This jouney brings them back "to home" upon which they lay their eggs for the next generation.

In the picture below, if you look closely, you will see the "tracks" from the momma sea turtle as she pulled herself up on the beach to lay her eggs. Then you can see her tracks again as she headed back out into the gulf. For a Sea Turtle, this is a huge undertaking as they were not designed to be able to "walk" on land. The hours it takes for her to craw up the beach, dig a deep nest, lay her 80+ eggs, bury the eggs, and then craw back o the water.... only to never know if her efforts would pay off.

Sean - Marine life is so fascinating. I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a rare leather-back sea turtle last summer. They have no problem moving quickly when they are in their element. Wish my digital camera could have snapped a picture before it slipped back underwater. Sigh.

I had the chance to swim with sea turtles in Bonaire, and a dive trip they are very graceful in the water, and still plentiful in the tropical islands.
